ICT GROUP, INC. (NASDAQ:ICTG), a leading global provider of customer management and business process outsourcing solutions, announced today that it has been awarded a competitively bid Task Order under the General Services Administration’s USA Contact vehicle, to continue its operation of the Federal Citizen Information Center’s (FCIC) National Contact Center (NCC).

The task order was competed among the nine pre-qualified USA Contact contractors. ICT GROUP’s proposal was found to offer the greatest value to the government. The task order is for one base year with four one-year options. Its estimated value is $24 million over the next five years.

“This contract is a significant win for ICT GROUP, as it strengthens our position in the government sector in an era of increased federal competition,” stated John J. Brennan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ICT GROUP. “Furthermore, this win demonstrates ICT GROUP’s ongoing commitment to the delivery of high-quality citizen services, which we have provided to the Federal government since 2004.”

ICT GROUP will continue to use its state-of-the-art contact center in Lakeland, FL, as well as begin utilizing its Lock Haven, PA, center to provide program redundancy and flexibility in responding to citizen phone calls, e-mails and Web chat inquiries to the National Contact Center.

Under the terms of the USA Contact Task Order supporting the National Contact Center, ICT GROUP will continue providing a fully integrated, multi-channel contact center solution, responding to citizen information needs via the toll-free 1-800-FED-INFO line, e-mail and Web chat inquiries received via the USA.gov website, orders for consumer publications to be processed by the Pueblo, CO, publication distribution center, and responding to public inquiries on behalf of selected federal agencies. ICT GROUP will deliver attended services from 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. (ET) on weekdays; the Company will continue to provide the USA.gov website with a state-of-the-art Web self-service Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) tool, providing visitors with 24/7 access the most up-to-date information.

GSA’s Office of Citizen Services serves as the nation’s focal point for information and services offered by the federal government. The National Contact Center answers citizen inquiries on behalf of multiple federal agencies, including the Department of State’s Overseas Citizens Services Hotline, the Department of the Interior’s Fish and Wildlife Service Public Inquiry program, and a variety of E-Gov initiatives, via ICT GROUP’s fully integrated multi-channel citizen contact solutions.

A major component of the GSA’s Citizen Services E-Gov initiative, USA Contact gives federal agencies and departments an efficient, cost-effective contract vehicle for procuring single or multi-dimensional contact center services.

ICT GROUP will begin delivering services under its new contract on September 1, 2009.
