L-3 Communications' Titan Group and Small Businesses Come Together in Support of the Department of Homeland Security Enterprise Acquisition Gateway for Leading Edge (EAGLE) Solutions Program.

NEW YORK -- L-3 Communications (NYSE: LLL) announced today that its Titan Group (L-3 Titan Group) has held the first of many successful industry days to support the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Enterprise Acquisition Gateway for Leading Edge (EAGLE) Solutions bid. The event was held at the Reston Town Center L-3 Titan Group facility with over 130 attendees present. Attendees from more than 60 firms represented each small business designation.

The L-3 Titan Group responded to the DHS EAGLE proposal on November 14, 2005, bidding on three of the five functional categories. The EAGLE program will support the DHS' goal of a functionally integrated department, demanding integrated methods of operation between the various sectors with the IT support systems that enhance mission effectiveness while creating economies of scale through consolidation. Specific requirements will be identified and defined at the task order level, where teaming will play a significant role. Requirements for the program will include 40% small business participation on any team.

The keynote speaker at the event was Kevin Boshears, director of the DHS Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization. Other speakers included Tony Bell, deputy small business program manager at the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and William Bickelman, small business specialist at the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection. Each DHS speaker addressed the future goals for small business participation under their respective departments.

"We were extremely pleased with the success of our first industry day and the support it drew from government agencies and small businesses alike," said Gale Sampson, director of the Office of Small Business Supplier Programs at the L-3 Titan Group's Enterprise Information Technology Solutions Division. "The goal of this event was to build stronger alliances with our current and potential teaming partners for the DHS EAGLE program and other major opportunities. As a company formed through the combination of a number of small businesses, the L-3 Titan Group fully understands the value that supplier diversity can bring to the table. We are proud of the opportunity to further our commitment to small business participation in support of our bid for the DHS EAGLE opportunity."

L-3 Titan recognizes the importance of supplier diversity and has therefore made a concentrated effort to increase small business participation. The L-3 Titan Group has small business proteges under the DHS Mentor-Protege Program, including Alltech International and InfoZen. This event served as a welcomed opportunity to introduce these and other L-3 Titan Group proteges under the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Department of Defense (DoD) agency Mentor-Protege programs.

For nearly two decades, the L-3 Titan Group has been providing homeland security solutions to many U.S. Government agencies, which now comprise the DHS. The L-3 Titan Group brings innovation, integration, deployment and life-cycle management services that support the national commitment to homeland security and counterterrorism measures.
