MCLEAN, Va. and SAN DIEGO, Oct. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Science

its small business strategy has yielded a record level of small business
utilization for Government Fiscal Year 2009 (GFY 09), which ended in
September. During GFY 09, SAIC awarded approximately $2 billion in
subcontracts to small businesses, reflecting a 21 percent increase from last

initiatives implemented by SAIC, aimed at developing strong relationships with
small businesses and increasing business opportunities for them. These
initiatives include free training provided to small businesses by SAIC in
areas including business and proposal development, pricing, and program
management.

"The success of small businesses is vital to our nation's economic growth and
prosperity," said Arnold Punaro, SAIC executive vice president of Government
Affairs, Communications and Support Operations. "We are pleased to be a
recognized leader in small business utilization and will continue to support
the growth and development of these companies."
