COLUMBIA, MD--(Marketwire - May 18, 2010) - Fortress International Group, Inc. (
The $10 million Blanket Order Agreement contract encompasses architectural, engineering, and construction support services for a broad variety of minor to major repair, modification and rehabilitation, as well as alterations and new construction projects.

"We are pleased that TSS has been selected for this significant project and honored to be working with the prime contractor on one of the largest federal design and construction initiatives ever," said Gerard Gallagher, Fortress' President and COO. "This contract award came as a result of our experience and capabilities in Technology Consulting, Engineering, Construction and Facilities Management, as well as our long-standing relationship with the prime contractor. We have worked with these DoD agencies on multiple projects over the last several years, and are proud that they have again recognized our technical capabilities and expertise in working with mission critical facilities. Given the prime contract is for a five-year duration, we are confident our contract will also extend beyond 2010.
