Unisys Comments on TSA Down-Select DecisionCompany states it is reviewing options for response
BLUE BELL, Pa., June 30, 2008 – Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today released the following statement regarding the decision by the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) that it had not selected Unisys to continue on to Phase 2 of the procurement for TSA’s Information Technology Infrastructure Program (ITIP) contract:
“We are proud of our work on behalf of TSA and the American public,” said Greg Baroni, president, Unisys Federal Systems. “Our performance on the current TSA program is excellent. We are meeting our performance baselines in all 18 service-level agreements on the contract, and are exceeding them in 13 of those areas. Clearly, given this level of demonstrated performance, we are surprised and disappointed by the selection committee’s decision. We are now reviewing our options.”
Unisys began working for TSA shortly after the agency was established and was instrumental in creating and managing the IT infrastructure that enabled the TSA to be mission-ready by November 2002. Since then, Unisys has supported TSA in its efforts to improve the protection of passengers, cargo, people and physical assets at US airports.
“Unisys Federal Systems has a robust business pipeline," Baroni added. “We maintain a broad footprint throughout the federal government, delivering solutions and services that touch many defense and civilian agencies.”
In the first half of 2008, Unisys has been awarded dozens of major federal government contracts with more than 20 government agencies including the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice, FBI, Department of Health and Human Services, the Social Security Administration, NASA, General Services Administration, US House of Representatives and Department of Defense, as well as several organizations in the Intelligence Community.
