CGI Federal announces award as a prime contractor for Department of Homeland Security EAGLE II contract

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has selected CGI Federal Inc. (CGI)
(NYSE:GIB)(TSX:GIB.A) as a prime contractor for a program that will allow the
company to compete to provide a range of new technology services and products
that support the agency's critical mission and business functions. 


DHS announced on this month that CGI Federal had been selected as a prime
contractor under its Enterprise Acquisition Gateway for Leading Edge Solutions
II (EAGLE II) contract on the Unrestricted Track in Functional Category 1,
Service Delivery, including Integration, Software Design/Development, Operations
& Maintenance program. EAGLE II is an "indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity"
contract vehicle that provides a $22B ceiling to procure IT services over the
seven year period of performance. CGI is one of 68 awardees on this track that
will be authorized to compete to provide services under this Functional
Category. CGI will compete to provide advanced mission-enabling technical
solutions including cloud services, big data and analytic solutions, agile
methodologies, continuous integration and operations, mobile solutions,
continuous monitoring and cyber security.


"CGI will support DHS in protecting our nation, its citizens, resources, and
critical infrastructure in an increasingly dynamic and sophisticated threat
environment," said Dr. James Peake, Lt. Gen. (Ret), President, CGI Federal. "We
are looking forward to continuing and growing our partnership with DHS."


DHS has a broad mission to secure the nation from a range of threats, from
aviation and border security to emergency response; from cybersecurity analysis
to chemical facility inspections. CGI has a long history with the agency, having
provided a range of IT services to the Coast Guard since 1996. CGI is also a
leading cloud service provider to the agency. The new contract may give the
company an opportunity to expand its footprint with DHS and provide a greater
role in providing mission-critical IT services to the federal government agency.


EAGLE II may put CGI in an even stronger position to support DHS in its vast and
varied role in responding effectively and rapidly to natural disasters through
enhanced information sharing capabilities and immigration and law enforcement
systems, enhanced Risk-Based Security solutions, emergency response
capabilities, and proactive global enforcement solutions. 


"CGI will deliver solutions with an increased capability to proactively monitor
and thwart threats before they arise," said Timothy J. Hurlebaus, CGI Federal
senior vice president and National Security Defense Programs business unit
leader. "Our "as a service offerings", predictive analytics, agile development
and continuous integration will help bring mission capability to market faster."
