Stanley to Build and Manage New Tucson, Arizona, Passport Production Center

ARLINGTON, Va., Dec. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Stanley, Inc. (NYSE: SXE) , a leading provider of systems integration and professional services to the U.S. federal government, today announced that it will build and manage a secure passport production center in Tucson, Ariz., for the U.S. Department of State.

Stanley will oversee operations and the printing, quality control and mailing of U.S. passports and other travel documents at the new location, as it does at its existing Hot Springs, Ark., facility, opened in March 2007. The two centers were authorized under a 10-year Department of State contract in October 2006, initially valued at $164 million.

Stanley will immediately begin construction of the secure facility in Tucson with production operations expected to begin in spring 2008. More than 150 full-time and part-time employees will be hired by Stanley in the next 12 to 18 months.

The Department of State produced more than 18 million passports in the past year. With the addition of the Tucson Center, the Department of State will significantly increase its production capacity to meet the growing demand for U.S. passports and continue to provide timely services to the American public.

"Stanley is fully committed to supporting the Department of State and building on the recent success of the Arkansas Passport Center. We welcome the opportunity to continue our long partnership with Passport Services and support the implementation of the second phase of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative," said Phil Nolan, Stanley's chairman, president, and CEO.

"We are thrilled to welcome Stanley and the Department of State to the Tucson region," said Joe Snell, Tucson Regional Economic Organization (TREO) president and CEO. "State and local officials and economic development partners truly joined together to deliver an important win for our expanding business community, with a highly regarded, nationally recognized employer in Stanley."

"Stanley has partnered closely with state and local representatives in Arizona since January 2006, to identify a solution that would support the requirements of our customer, the Department of State. The TREO organization supported us superbly and Tucson offers a strong local workforce to support our production operations," said Eric Wolking, senior vice president for Stanley.

Stanley delivers professional services, passport application processing services, technology support and logistics support to the Department of State's Bureau of Consular Affairs/Passport Services Directorate. Since working with the Department of State to establish the National Passport Center in Portsmouth, N.H., in 1992, Stanley has expanded its services to support passport operations at 18 locations nationwide.
