Networks
Company to support network infrastructure for the Information Technology
Agency

ARLINGTON, Va., Nov. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- The Pentagon's network infrastructure
will continue to receive top tier operations and maintenance support now with
an award of a $292.7 million contract to Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) by the
U.S. Army Information Technology Agency (ITA).

Lockheed Martin will continue to provide network operations maintenance,
management, and security support for all data networks within the Pentagon and
the National Capital Region. The program provides constant, round-the-clock
support through the Network Infrastructure Service Center.

"We're thrilled to continue to support the critical mission of the Pentagon by
ensuring top quality, secure networks," said Ron Stefano, Vice President for
Information Systems & Global Service-Defense. "It is truly a testament to the
solid partnership our team has with our military customer. Their mission is
our mission, and we are proud to support them."

In 2000, Lockheed Martin won a 10- year contract with the U.S. Army to serve
as the Pentagon's Information Technology provider under the Information
Technology Agency (ITA) contract. During this period a massive Pentagon
renovation effort was under way, and Lockheed Martin was responsible for
providing the IT infrastructure and network management from the customers wall
plate all the way out to the networks.

On March 1, 2009, the Army awarded a sole source six month contract to
Lockheed Martin to bridge the gap between the previous and current contracts,
consolidating two separate existing contracts at the Pentagon - the Network
Infrastructure Services Operation (NISO) and the Pentagon Primary Technical
Control Facility contracts.

The program recently achieved International Organization for Standardization
(ISO) 20000 certification for the ITA Enterprise Transport Management program,
providing the customer with the satisfaction and advantage of a third party
verification that Lockheed Martin uses the best IT practices in the world to
support their mission.

Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin is a global security company
that employs about 140,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the
research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of
advanced technology systems, products and services. The corporation reported
2008 sales of $42.7 billion.
