Over 15-Year History of Providing Passport Services Continues

ARLINGTON, Va., March 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Stanley, Inc. (NYSE: SXE), a leading provider of systems integration and professional services to the U.S. federal government, today announced that it was awarded a five-year, $570 million contract to continue support of the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Consular Affairs/Passport Services Directorate. Services include production, operational and business process support training, procurement, administration and evaluation of critical supplies, and facilities management support at the four Passport Centers and 14 Passport Agencies nationwide along with the Headquarters' support offices.

The Department of State produced more than 18 million U.S. passports in the past year. Passport production for 2008 is estimated to be significantly higher, due primarily to increased demand as a result of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI). With the award of this contract, Stanley will continue its key role supporting the Department of State and providing timely services to the American public.

"Stanley is honored to continue its support services to the Department of State," said Phil Nolan, Stanley's chairman, president and CEO. "We will dedicate all resources necessary to assist Passport Services during this time of unprecedented growth and increasing demand resulting from the WHTI."

"For more than 15 years, Stanley and our team members have had the privilege of supporting our customer's critical mission," added Paul Belanger, Stanley senior vice president. "This award is a testament to the dedicated customer service that our employees provide to the Department of State and we look forward to supporting Passport Services over the next five years under this contract."

This contract award follows Stanley's announcement in December 2007 that it had begun construction of a secure passport production center in Tucson, Ariz., expected to begin operations in spring 2008. The Tucson Passport Center and an existing facility in Hot Springs, Ark., opened in March 2007, were authorized under a 10-year Department of State contract in October 2006, initially valued at $164 million. Stanley oversees operations and the printing, quality control and mailing of U.S. passports and other travel documents at these locations.

The company began its relationship with the Department of State in 1992 when it assisted in establishing the National Passport Center in Portsmouth, N.H. Since that time, Stanley has expanded its services to support passport operations at all 18 locations nationwide.
