JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Oct. 11, 2005 -- Armor Holdings, Inc. , a leading manufacturer and distributor of security products and vehicle armor systems serving military, law enforcement, homeland security and commercial markets, announced today that it has received an order under its previously announced $53.5M Basic Ordering Agreement, to provide additional spare armor components for the Up-Armored HMMWV.
