BTG awarded $600 million GSA Contract.

FAIRFAX, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 14, 1997--

Firm is one of two selected to provide Internet access, e-mail and electronic commerce services to federal government

BTG, Inc. (BTGI: Nasdaq) announced that it has been selected by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) for the $600 million CINEMA program to acquire Internet access, electronic mail and electronic commerce services for the entire federal government. The contract, which was awarded to BTG and one other contractor, IBM's Advantis, has a contract base period of two years with options to extend the contract for an additional three years. BTG estimates potential revenue to the company of $200 million over five years. The company said its subcontractors on the program include UUNET, which will provide Internet access, and Sterling Commerce, which will work on e-mail and electronic commerce services.

CINEMA (Electronic Commerce, INternet, and Electronic Mail Access Services) is a program of the Federal Telecommunications Service (FTS), which provides a full range of technology solutions to Federal agencies. FTS' Commissioner Bob Woods said CINEMA will help agencies conduct more of the government's business electronically. "We have not only taken advantage of the government's buying power to produce substantial cost savings to users, we have also made the ordering and billing process faster and easier," Woods said.

BTG Vice President Brian Nightingale said, "CINEMA was a model procurement, very streamlined,very professionally run. FTS made it clear that it wanted the best services contract for federal agencies, with user-friendly access and the best value on price. We were impressed with the way the procurement was run and are looking forward to working with FTS on CINEMA."

Sandy Bates, FTS Assistant Commissioner for the Office of Service Delivery, said, "Providing a vehicle to obtain value-added electronic services like those provided by CINEMA is especially important considering budget restraints agencies face and the need to `do more with less'."

Nightingale noted that the award of CINEMA reflects BTG's successful experience with an extensive range of contracts under which it provides information technology services to large enterprises, such as federal agencies. "BTG is established as a total solutions provider, which means we can give a client everything from the smallest commercial software package to the most complex integration and engineering services. CINEMA is a flexible program,which will allow us to work with GSA to add additional services and products to the contract to accommodate our CINEMA customers."

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.
