CACI Awarded $91 Million Prime Contract to Support Medical Record Sharing for Veterans Affairs Beneficiaries

Virtual Lifetime Electronic Record Initiative Offers Service Members Enhanced Quality and Continuity of Care through Consolidated Database

Arlington, VA, October 25, 2010 - CACI International Inc (NYSE:CACI) announced today that it has been awarded a prime contract to support the comprehensive Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Virtual Lifetime Electronic Record (VLER) initiative. The Blanket Purchase Agreement has a ceiling value of $91 million over five years and was awarded through the General Services Administration's Schedule 70 contract vehicle. The new work will involve developing an across-the-board solution that will consolidate the medical records of Armed Forces members in an electronic database available to all VA and Department of Defense facilities/providers, as well as to any private, civilian medical offices that service members might use. The award expands the support that CACI's business system solutions functional core competency and Healthcare Solutions Group provides for servicemen and women worldwide.

By seamlessly integrating VA, DoD, and private healthcare provider data, VLER will enhance the quality and continuity of care by ensuring that no veteran has a delay in service as a result of the transition from active duty to veteran status. The objective is to provide a single, coherent, virtual, lifetime electronic record using a data-centric common services approach based on national standards. VLER will provide for health, benefits and personnel data – all within a framework of information assurance; secure, reliable and timely data; auditable access to data; protection of member privacy; member visibility into the data; and role-based access.

CACI has a long history of meeting customer needs by achieving transformational benefits with large-scale healthcare systems, including support for numerous Military Health System applications, as well as the Defense Medical Logistics Standard Support System, which enables every DoD medical facility to efficiently and effectively order, receive, and maintain medical supplies and equipment.

The company's work with the VLER initiative will involve supporting at least ten complementary health-related IT programs which are being brought under a single management structure. These include the Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN), the infrastructure and connecting services that will allow health providers and networks to share standards-based electronic health information; the Health Data Repository (HDR), a data repository of clinical information that resides on one or more independent platforms; the Administrative Data Repository (ADR), which was established to provide support for administrative data in multiple categories; and the Clinical Health Data Repository (CHDR), a joint effort between the DoD and VA to exchange computable outpatient pharmacy and drug allergy information for shared patients.

According to Bill Fairl, CACI's President of U.S. Operations, "The government healthcare IT market is a key component of CACI's future growth strategy. This new work is an important healthcare game-changer for us, since it gives the company increased presence and stature in the electronic healthcare environment."

CACI President and CEO Paul Cofoni observed that, "This new work with the Department of Veterans Affairs will enable full and direct access to the depth and breadth of CACI's entire IT services portfolio. The support we provide for national priorities is enhanced with the critical help we will provide for our servicemen and women to quickly and accurately access their healthcare records as they serve their nation and transition into civilian life."
