CHANTILLY, Va., Jan. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TechTeam
Government Solutions, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of TechTeam
Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: TEAM), announced today that it has been
awarded a five-year contract, with a potential value of $15
million, by Harris Corporation, to support network operations and
security for the Air National Guard (ANG). The contract results
from a task order issued to Harris under the Air Force NETCENTS
contract. The task order supports the transformation from ANG's
current decentralized network management model to a centralized
managed environment. TechTeam will support ANG's Network Operations
and Security Center (NOSC) with the engineering, implementation,
operation and maintenance of its Secure Internet Protocol Router
Network (SIPRNET) and Nonsecure Internet Protocol Router Network's
(NIPRNET) infrastructure and systems. The Guard's classified
command and control networks, which TechTeam has supported since
1998, are currently estimated to contain more than 110,000 user
accounts and 65,000 systems. "We look forward to working with
Harris and continuing to support ANG in the critical job of
maintaining its network operations," said David Kriegman, president
of TechTeam Government Solutions. "We believe our management
solutions, as well as our deep familiarity with ANG networks, will
enable us to continue providing the same reliability and
availability that SIPRNET and NIPRNET users have received since
TechTeam began supporting the Air National Guard eleven years ago."
