DRC Awarded $106 Million in New Business Contracts in Q3 2009

Dynamics Research Corporation (Nasdaq:DRCO), a leading provider of innovative management consulting, engineering, and technology solutions to federal and state governments, today reported that it received during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 new business contract awards having an estimated total value of $106 million. For 2009, year-to-date new business contract awards now stand at $157 million. The Company also reported that its current backlog of bids for new business, which have been submitted and are awaiting award, currently totals approximately $160 million.

The contract and task order awards reflect a mix of new orders in DRC's target growth markets -- homeland security, health care, training/human capital, business transformation, information security, selected civilian agencies, and high-priority defense programs. Eighty-five percent of the third quarter wins were prime contract awards, reflecting the Company's direct access to customers with a broad portfolio of government and agency wide contracts.

"DRC is experiencing strong demand for our mission-critical technology management services and solutions, validated by another record level of prime contract new business wins during the always critical third quarter," said Jim Regan, DRC's chairman and chief executive officer. "We're pleased to see strong growth in the areas we have targeted for business expansion such as military medical health where we now have several task orders under the TRICARE TEAMS contract, the Department of Homeland Security where we continue to win new information security work under the EAGLE contract, and the Air Force unmanned air vehicle program where we won a key task order under the DoD Logistics Maintenance and Supply Support contract. Additionally, with several bids for new business submitted and awaiting award we are well positioned for additional project awards in the quarters to come."

DRC has reported twelve consecutive quarters of year-over-year earnings increases and plans to announce third quarter 2009 financial results after market close on October 27, 2009.
