I.D. Systems Awarded Contracts by U.S. Navy and U.S. Postal Service 
Fleet Management System Continues to Penetrate Government Market

HACKENSACK, N.J., July 11 /PRNewswire/ -- I.D. Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDSY), 
a leading provider of end-to-end wireless asset management solutions, today 
announced that it has received contracts from the United States Navy and the 
United States Postal Service for its Wireless Asset Net(TM) (WAN(TM)) fleet 
management system for industrial equipment.

The three-phase U.S. Navy contract may lead to implementation of the 
company's system on industrial equipment assets at U.S. naval bases around 
the world. In the first phase, to commence immediately, I.D. Systems will 
perform a site survey and conduct a business analysis of the impact its 
system is likely to have on operations at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard 
(PNSY) in Kittery, Maine. In the second phase, subject to acceptance of the 
first phase and agreement on certain terms, I.D. Systems would implement its 
system at PNSY for approximately 350 industrial vehicles. In the third phase, 
subject to acceptance of the second phase and agreement on certain terms, the 
company's WAN(TM) fleet management system would be considered for roll-out to 
all U.S. naval bases without additional competitive bidding.

This contract resulted from the efforts of the Navy's Smart Base Project 
Office, which was formed with the mission of improving naval base efficiency, 
productivity, and safety through the use of innovative commercial 
technologies. I.D. Systems' General Services Administration (GSA) contract 
facilitated the award.

The order from the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) was also generated through the 
company's GSA contract. Under the USPS contract, I.D. Systems will provide 
its WAN(TM) fleet management system for approximately 35 industrial vehicles 
at the USPS Processing and Distribution Center in Charlotte, NC. This is the 
fourth USPS facility -- with a cumulative total of approximately 400 vehicles 
-- to order the company's fleet management system.  The USPS maintains 
approximately 500 major mail processing centers and approximately 40,000 
facilities overall in the United States.

The USPS also utilizes the company's mail tracking system to monitor and 
analyze the flow of mail.

Under the Company's General Services Administration contract, which runs 
through April 15, 2004, any U.S. government ordering office can place certain 
types of orders without seeking further competitive bids. Detailed product 
and ordering information on the company's fleet management system is 
available at the GSA's FSS Advantage! on-line shopping service at 
http://www.fss.gsa.gov. Greg Smith, I.D. Systems director of marketing, said, 
"We are very excited that our fleet management system has been chosen for 
evaluation by the Navy, with the potential for major implementations in the 
future.  We look forward to demonstrating the significant benefits that our 
system will provide in the naval base environment.  We are also very pleased 
that our GSA FSS contract is continuing to facilitate new orders from the 
U.S. Postal Service, and we look forward to making significantly deeper 
penetration into this market."
