WALNUT CREEK, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Innovative Technical Solutions, Inc. (ITSI) today announced a
mentor-protege agreement between ITSI and RORE, Inc. (RORE), under the
Small Business Administration (SBA) Mentor-Protege program. The
agreement was approved and awarded through the San Diego, California
office.

Founded in 2003 by Dr. Gita Murthy, RORE is a woman and
minority-owned, 8(a) certified small disadvantaged business
headquartered in San Diego, California. RORE is an engineering firm
and a licensed contractor (General and Hazardous) that provides site
assessments, engineering design, environmental remediation,
construction management, energy conservation and geotechnical
services.

"RORE is a welcomed partner that adds to our strength and
commitment to performing high quality work for the Department of
Defense. Our business interests and philosophies are very similar and
we complement each other with technical strength and a commitment to
customer satisfaction," says Dr. Devendra Shukla, President of ITSI.
"We are pleased to mentor RORE and look forward to assisting them to
future growth and development."

The mentor-protege agreement is for one year, but can be renewed
for subsequent years with approval by the SBA. The purpose of the
agreement is to enhance the development of the Protege and to
encourage the Mentor to provide various forms of assistance to
eligible 8(a) participants to ensure enhanced contracting opportunity
and overall financial viability.

In its past, ITSI has received help from large businesses under
the SBA Mentor-Protege program. We have been a long proponent of
helping small businesses. ITSI has assisted other small businesses to
enter the federal market by providing management assistance and
contract opportunities; however, this is our first formal initiative
under the SBA Program.
