VERSAR, Inc. awarded $4.5 Million in additional Iraq work

Versar has focused its efforts in Iraq at providing its largest client, the U.S. Air Force Center of Environmental Excellence (AFCEE), professional engineering and construction oversight throughout Iraq, in support of AFCEE's reconstruction mission. The new Task Order will fund Versar's Engineering Services operations into October 2006. Versar's Iraq Professional Engineering Services Program has now grown to $15.6 million for the Air Force since it began in October 2004 and $56.2 million for all of its clients in Iraq. The Versar workforce supporting its Iraq reconstruction operations has grown to 360 personnel, with more than 300 professional engineers currently working in every province in Iraq. Versar anticipates a continued steady growth of its Professional Engineering Services throughout the region.

Dr. Ted Prociv, President and CEO of Versar said, "I am proud of the success of our international Professional Engineering Services and Construction Management business and look forward to accelerated growth worldwide. With over 18 months of continued work in Iraq, we now stand out from our competition in the business line of construction management of large, complex projects in dangerous, contested, or remote environments. I am confident that Versar will become the standard-setter worldwide for not only engineering and construction management but also disaster response and emergency management."
