Alion Awarded GSA Alliant IT Integration Contract

Technology solutions provider earns right to provide enterprise IT support to federal government under $50 B ID/IQ contract

(McLean, Va., August 1, 2007) -- Alion Science and Technology, an employee-owned technology solutions company, today announced it has been awarded the GSA's Alliant contract, a government-wide acquisition contract (GWAC) to provide IT integration services to the federal government. The 10-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract (five year base with one five year option) has a maximum value of $50 Billion. Alion was one of 29 prime contractors given awards out of a total 66 bidders.

Alliant gives civilian and defense agencies access to the latest, most effective technologies and solutions. One of the drivers for the contract was the need for compliance with emerging policies and initiatives from the Office of Management and Budget as well as the Federal Enterprise Architecture and the Federal Information Security Management Act.

"The government is demanding more effective IT solutions that can help them achieve their missions by streamlining processes, improving efficiency and limiting the duplication of effort," said Bahman Atefi, Alion's Chief Executive Officer. "We have a long-standing history of delivering technology solutions that draw on our engineering, R&D and management strengths, so we can help our government customers improve business processes, contain costs and get the greatest benefit from their investment in technology."

Stacy Mendler, Alion's Chief Operating Officer, said the Alliant contract gives the government a powerful tool for obtaining technology. "Alliant gives the government a simpler, cost-effective way to acquire enterprise-focused IT solutions. It will speed up the acquisition process and help ensure that each agency can meet new standards and challenges," she explained.
