Item 5.                    Other Events and Required FD Disclosure

 

On January 14, 2004, SI International, Inc. (the “Company”) was informed by Air Force Space Command (the “Government”) that the Government is delaying the award decision for the procurement of Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Information Technology, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4I2TSR) services under Solicitation No. F05604-03-R0002 as a result of recent Federal procurement legislation.  The C4I2TSR solicitation was released in August 2003 and indicated a contract term, including option periods, of nine and one-half years.  On January 14, 2004, the Government informed the Company that the C4I2TSR procurement award was being delayed based upon the recently enacted provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2004, Pub. L. No. 108-136, which amended 10 U.S.C. § 2304a.  The Company has been informed that the Department of Defense currently interprets this legislation to restrict the term of task or delivery order contracts to not more than five years.  The Company is the incumbent on the predecessor contract.
