BTG Wins $128 Million State Department Contract.

FAIRFAX, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 16, 1997,--BTG, Inc. (BTGI:Nasdaq) announced that it has been selected by the U.S. Department of State for a $128 million program to modernize the Department's world-wide communications infrastructure. The State Information Infrastructure/PC-LAN program is intended to provide commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment, including workstations, servers, local area networks (LANs) and associated software, as well as maintenance and optional technical services for use by both Department of State and other foreign affairs agencies worldwide.

The program is focused on the acquisition of computer hardware to replace current systems, but it also has a significant requirement for software and maintenance services. BTG Group Vice President Steve Baldwin said the company's experience in providing total information technology (IT) solutions to large enterprises was a factor in the award of this best-value contract. "We are recognized throughout the industry for our ability to provide clients with the full range of services and products required to manage their networks. We combine our expertise in systems engineering and integration with the best computer products that ensure the right solution at the right price," Baldwin said.

BTG announced earlier this week that it is one of two firms awarded a $600 million GSA contract to provide Internet access, -mail and electronic commerce services to the entire federal government over the next five years. With the addition of this week's awards, the company reported a contract backlog of $1.3 billion. BTG Senior Vice President Tom Nixon said a major factor in the company's success is its ability to assemble and manage a diverse team of premiere IT suppliers: "As systems grow more complex, organizations need project managers to maximize their resources and minimize their costs. We make sure the system works and that it does what the client wants it to do. We bring in team members who are the best in their fields and combine their unique talents into sophisticated systems that are simple to use and easy to upgrade as the client's needs evolve."

BTG provides information technology services and products to government and commercial clients. The company specializes in systems engineering, integration and network systems, Internet/intranet access and services, community networks, custom computer manufacturing, and the reselling of hardware, software and services. The company is headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia. Additional information on BTG is available on the Internet at www.btg.com/, by e-mail at [e-mail], or by calling 703-383-8000.
