MINNEAPOLIS, June 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today

As part of the contract, Honeywell will be able to install utility monitoring
and building control technology -- such as heating, ventilation and air
conditioning (HVAC), fire alarm and life safety, and security systems -- at
any federal facility, nationally or abroad. Honeywell was one of eight
companies to receive a contract  from the U.S. Army Engineering and Support
Center in Huntsville, Ala., for this new program, which could collectively
involve as much as $650 million in projects over the next three years.

"The Army Corps of Engineers is focused on continuous process improvement and
this program creates a standard procurement vehicle for boosting safety and
comfort for employees and citizens, and reducing operating costs at
facilities," said Paul Orzeske, president of Honeywell Building Solutions. "We
have the technology, experience and footprint to help meet these goals."

The contract builds on decades of work for the federal government. Honeywell
provides nearly $50 million of infrastructure improvements for government
organizations annually, and has completed projects for the Department of
Homeland Security, Department of Energy (DOE) and all four branches of the
military, among other agencies.

Honeywell also recently received similar contracts from the DOE and Army Corps
of Engineers for programs that could provide nearly $6 billion of
energy-efficiency, renewable energy and water-conservation improvements in
government buildings combined.
