Emtec Federal to Deliver Samsung Monitors and Lenovo Convertible
               Tablets to Air Force Locations Worldwide
CHANTILLY, Va.--(Business Wire)--
Emtec Federal (OTCBB:ETEC), an information technology systems and
solutions provider, today announced that it has received awards from
the Air Force Quarterly Enterprise Buy (QEB) program to provide
approximately 70,000 Samsung 19-inch display monitors and 1,000 Lenovo
Convertible PC Tablets. Under a series of delivery orders, Emtec
Federal will manage staged deployments of the systems to agencies
across all Air Force organizations worldwide. The total value of the
contract is expected to exceed $17 million.

   The QEB enables the Air Force to centralize the purchase of common
hardware and software products as part of an ongoing effort to
streamline purchases and ensure system interoperability. The contract
mandates that purchases of desktop and notebook computers be processed
through the Air Force's nine major commands, and that officials
consolidate hardware buys using the AFWay online procurement system to
obtain optimal pricing.

   "This contract is a testament to the confidence that the Air Force
has in our ability to deliver the products and services that best meet
their needs around the globe," stated Frank Blaul, Executive Vice
President of Sales and Marketing, Emtec Federal. "This is our first
QEB award for the laptop line of business and we are excited to expand
our product offerings to the Air Force, as well as extend our
partnership with Lenovo."
