News Release: Markland Wins Contract Award With Computer Sciences Corporation - CSC - to Provide Services To Department of Homeland Security

To Department of Homeland Security
RIDGEFIELD, Conn., Dec 10, 2003 - Markland Technologies (MRKL) is pleased to announce the awarding of a contract from (CSC). Computer Sciences Corporation to provide support services to ports of entry at San Ysidro and Otay Mesa, CA. San Ysidro, CA is the busiest land border crossing in the world. The award was granted to Markland's wholly owned subsidiary ERGO systems for a period starting December 8, 2003 until September 2004, with an option for extension. CSC is a key provider of software engineering services to Department of Homeland Security's Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

CSC has been providing services to INS under the Service Technology Alliance Resources (STARS) program since 1999. CSC was recently awarded an $88 million dollar contract under the Starlight program, which will replace the STARS program. CSC is tasked to maintain and enhance systems that process travelers crossing US borders under this new contract.

Markland's ERGO subsidiary has been providing maintenance services for ports of entry under INS/DHS contracts since April of 2001. The services provided by ERGO will be an extension of the scope of services ERGO is currently providing to DHS, and ERGO will continue to provide services under their existing contracts with DHS as well.

The fiscal budget for 2004 includes $9 billion for border protection services through the Department of Homeland Security.
"This is a critical opportunity for Markland to be a part of the magnanimous overhaul of the customs and immigration procedures being undertaken by DHS", said Ken Ducey, Markland's President. "We could not ask for a better partner than CSC as we help to provide this crucial service to the department of homeland security."
