Press Release Summary = REI Systems to Support the Office of Grants and Training in
Consolidating Preparedness Grant Programs

Press Release Body = Annandale, VA - February 12, 2007 - REI Systems announced today
that it was awarded a contract by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to
develop an e-Grants solution to support the DHS directive to consolidate all grants
management activities within the Department. The 1-year contract is worth US$2
million and can be extended to 3 years and US$3 million. Under the terms of the
contract, REI Systems will create a single grants management system to support all
Office of Grants and Training (OG&T) grant programs. This solution will provide the
platform to consolidate all existing and future DHS Preparedness grants as directed
by the DHS Chief Information Officer. REI will support OG&T's transition out of the
Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs (OJP) and into the DHS Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Enterprise, including the migration of legacy
data and integration with financial systems.

The Office of Grants and Training is a component of the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security\'s Preparedness Directorate that is transitioning its operations to FEMA.
They are responsible for preparing the nation against terrorism by assisting states,
local and tribal jurisdictions, and regional authorities as they prevent, deter, and
respond to terrorist acts. OG&T provides a broad array of assistance to America\'s
first responders through funding, coordinated training, exercises, equipment
acquisition, and technical assistance.

"REI Systems has an extensive background in providing reliable, effective, and
innovative grants management solutions to DHS and many other key federal agencies.
We welcome the Department's mandate to consolidate all Preparedness grants to better
serve their constituents and eliminate redundancy" says Veer Bhartiya, REI Systems
President. "Our staff has delivered grants management solutions across nine federal
agencies for more than a decade. We have worked in partnership with both OG&T and
FEMA within DHS since 2000. This combination of technical and subject matter
expertise will allow us to deliver significant results to support the Department in
meeting its goals."
