Unisys Awarded Department of Homeland Security Managed Services Contract; Unisys
to Continue Working with DHS to Provide a Secure, Customer Service-Oriented
Environment for Its Operations
Unisys Corp. (NYSE:UIS) today announced that the Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has
awarded the company a 'bridge' contract to continue building, securing and
managing the information technology infrastructure for TSA, and for DHS
headquarters facility. Unisys services will help DHS continue to secure the safe
transport of people and cargo throughout the United States. The contract is an
indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity contract with a term of one base year
with two one-year options which are exercisable at the discretion of the
government. The government's estimated value of the base year is $308 million
($265 million for TSA and $43 million for DHS). The total ceiling value of the
three-year period is no more than $750 million.
This contract, which supports Unisys strategy to deliver secure business
operations to its clients, will serve as a 'bridge' between services from the
previous Information Technology Managed Services (ITMS) contract, which will
expire on January 10, 2006, and DHS's implementation of a department-wide
business IT solution. The award extends Unisys original three-year ITMS program
to provide continuity of information technology operations to maintain both
TSA's and DHS's mission capabilities, which are critical to the agencies'
efforts to provide security for passengers on all modes of transportation. Work
under the new contract began January 1, 2006.
Unisys and its partners will provide core managed services, such as service/help
desk support, maintenance, IT security services and remote network management.
Additionally, Unisys will continue hosting applications, provide engineering
support and manage infrastructure deployment and implementation.
'Fundamental to securing our homeland is safeguarding the U.S. transportation
system and its passengers,' said Greg Baroni, president, Unisys Global Public
Sector. 'Unisys is proud to continue its support of DHS and TSA in fulfilling
the mission for which they were established. We are committed to continue
delivering managed services that help provide secure operations for the nation's
aviation system and enhanced security for travelers and transport providers.'
