Newark, a subsidiary of global Premier Farnell plc (NYSE:PFP, LSE:pfl) and the leading small-quantity distributor of electronic components and test equipment in North America, today announced it has expanded the terms of its General Services Administration (GSA) contract to cover an additional 350,000 items.

Newark offers design engineers, maintenance professionals and procurement agents employed by the federal government, the broadest selection of electronics in the industry from 425+ top manufacturers: semiconductors, passives, test equipment, cable/wire, connectors, power and electromechanical products. A total of 1.2 million products can be accessed online through a dedicated portal at www.teamgov.com.

"In addition to our huge range of products, we provide a dedicated service team that prides itself in understanding the government's processes and requirements. It's just easy to do business with us."
