Unisys Awarded RFID III Contract by U.S. Department of Defense for Radio Frequency Identification Technology

Contract Broadens Unisys 14-year Relationship with U.S. Department of Defense to
Include RFID Hardware and Software
RESTON, Va.--(Business Wire)--
Unisys Corporation (NYSE:UIS) today announced that it was one of four companies
selected by the U.S. Army Program Executive Office-Enterprise Information
Systems for an indefinite delivery indefinite quantity contract with a
three-year base period and seven one-year options, exercisable at the discretion
of the government, for the Radio Frequency Identification III (RFID III)
program. Under this contract, which has a total ceiling value of $428 million,
Unisys will compete for task orders to provide RFID technology and services to
all U.S. federal government agencies as well as to NATO and other coalition
partner countries.

This contract broadens the scope of RFID-related technology and services that
Unisys can offer to the Department of Defense and other government agencies.

Unisys has been providing RFID solutions as a prime contractor to the U.S.
Department of Defense (DoD) since 1994, following Operation Desert Storm. The
partnership has resulted in the creation of one of the largest active RFID
networks in the world, the Army`s RFID In-Transit Visibility (RF-ITV) system.
RF-ITV provides the military with instant access to information about equipment
and supplies, enhancing readiness and safety.

Nearly 200 Unisys personnel are deployed worldwide in support of this RFID-based
system, which spans more than 31 countries, two U.S. territories and 44 U.S.
states. Unisys has installed RFID equipment in more than 1,700 sites worldwide
in a wide variety of climates and environments.

Under the new RFID III contact, Unisys will be able to provide the DoD and other
federal agencies with RFID technology as well as services. RFID III is the
successor to the Army`s RFID II contract, awarded in January 2003, and
represents a move within the U.S. Department of Defense towards a competitive
approach to RFID technology procurements, based on international standards.

Currently, RFID tags are attached to approximately 125,000 shipments of military
supplies each week. As shipments pass through field locations, fixed and
handheld readers send and receive data to and from the tags. This data is made
available to the military for greater visibility into the location and status of
shipments.

"With RFID III, Unisys plans to assist the Department of Defense in moving from
proprietary technology towards the international standard ISO 18000-7 for a more
open RFID infrastructure," said Jim Geiger, Managing Partner, Department of
Defense, Unisys Federal Systems. "Unisys is very proud that DoD has selected
Unisys as a partner in implementing these standards. The result will be a less
expensive and more flexible and reliable path forward."

Under the contract, Unisys will deploy RFID tags and readers of partner
companies Hi-G-Tek and Identec Solutions. Hi-G-Tek and Identec Solutions`
products are compliant with ISO 18000-7, one of the most significant new RFID
standards and have been tested in extreme physical conditions.

In November, Unisys announced that it supported the U.S. Customs and Border
Protection in opening the first U.S. land border crossings using RFID technology
to capture, read and analyze traveler and vehicle information. Unisys equipped
these sites to process secure RFID-enabled travel documents which include U.S.
passport cards and alternative documents.
