U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing Enlists Avineon to Provide Information
Security Support

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Avineon, Inc., a successful
provider of IT, engineering, geospatial and program management services, today
announced it has been awarded a contract with the Department of the Treasury,
Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP), to provide IT security program
management and operations support, certification and accreditation, and
compliance monitoring support for new and existing systems. This is one of
several major task order wins for Avineon under its IRS Total Information
Processing Support Services (TIPSS-3) contract.
The BEP prints billions of Federal Reserve Notes for delivery to the
Federal Reserve System each year. In addition to currency, the BEP produces
several other security documents such as portions of U.S. passports, materials
for Homeland Security, military identification cards and Immigration and
Naturalization Certificates. The BEP relies on its computer-based systems to
support its core business activities and processes such as security,
procurement, financial management, product accountability, human resources
management, engineering, research, product development and maintenance.
"Avineon's long-standing relationship with the Department of the Treasury
as a trusted service provider creates a partnership well suited for continued
success," stated Karlu Rambhala, president and CEO of Avineon. "We're pleased
to have the opportunity to help BEP achieve its important core mission to
design and manufacture high-quality security documents that meet customer
requirements for quality, quantity and performance as well as deter
counterfeiting."
The BEP maintains a number of systems including local area network/wide
area network, IBM mainframe, BEP management information system (BEPMIS),
public sales, enterprise architecture, manufacturing support and systems that
support physical security at the BEP's two locations in Washington, D.C. and
Fort Worth, Texas. There are also minor systems that are part of and covered
by the general controls of BEP's major systems and that may provide additional
security controls.
Under the TIPSS-3 contract, Avineon provides expertise in all three
TIPSS-3 functional areas including information systems services, system
security services and strategic business services. Other TIPSS-3 wins include
multiple task orders for applications and web development efforts with the
