Agreement Provides 10-Year, $700 Million Contract for Maritime Prepositioning

Service Prepares Equipment and Supplies to Ensure Marine Corps Mission Success

Blount Island, Fla., June 2, 2009 -- Honeywell (NYSE: HON) Technology Solutions Inc. (HTSI) announced today a 10-year contract with the U.S. Marine Corps for Prepositioning and Logistics Support Services, which ensures Marine Corps ships are stocked and available for deployment to combat zones. The contract is valued at $700 million if all options are exercised.

“For 25 years, the Marine Corps has relied on Honeywell to accurately inventory, repair and re-supply the equipment they need to sustain forward deployments,” said Vince Trim, President, HTSI. “HTSI has been an integral part of the MPS program since its inception and it is an honor to serve the Marine Corps in this outstanding program for ten more years.”

Under the agreement, Honeywell oversees three squadrons and 14 ships stocked with supplies to sustain 15,000 Marines in theater operations for 30 days. From the Blount Island Command in Jacksonville, Fla., HTSI employees provide the management, inventory accountability, service checks, maintenance, repair and upgrades to equipment and supplies placed aboard these ships. In a typical three-year cycle, HTSI repairs 11,000 items and tracks 45 million items that represent the equipment and supplies needed for deployment.

“HTSI enables the Marines to reinforce amphibious operations and deploy rapidly through advanced processes it has developed and perfected,” said Trim. “Our Honeywell Operating System sets the baseline for our quality, safety and metrics management to achieve reliable, high-quality results.”
