PRESS RELEASE
DynCorp International Recognized For Commitment To Veteran-Owned Businesses
FALLS
CHURCH, Va.—May 20, 2009—DynCorp International (NYSE:DCP) has been
recognized for the third year in a row by Vetrepreneur magazine as one
of the United States’ 10 best corporations for veteran-owned
businesses. Vetrepreneur is the official magazine of the National
Veteran-Owned Business Association. The listing recognizes both efforts
and results by companies in doing business with veteran-owned suppliers
and contractors.
Vetrepreneur magazine’s June 2009 cover story
notes that DynCorp International has been a perennial performer in its
dedication to veterans, demonstrating an understanding that doing
business with veterans is not just the right thing to do, it is also a
smart business decision.
“Being named one of the 10 Best
Corporations for Veteran-Owned Businesses means that our outreach
efforts and results are noteworthy to the veteran community” said
DynCorp International small business manager Debbie Newberry. “For
that we are extremely proud.”
DynCorp International arranged for
100 veteran-owned small businesses to attend free of charge the 12th
Annual Government Procurement Conference, held in Arlington, TX in
August 2008, and was title sponsor of the Veteran-Owned Business
Accountability Summit in Washington, DC in June 2008. The Center for
Veterans Enterprise also awarded the Maintenance and Technical Services
Support business division of DynCorp International an achievement award
for reaching its subcontracting goal for service-disabled veterans.
“DynCorp
International supports the U.S. government in achieving its national
security and foreign policy goals, working in austere, challenging and
conflict environments around the world,” said DynCorp International
President and CEO William L. Ballhaus. “Veterans are already on top of
the learning curve in their knowledge of what we need from small
businesses, and they understand and appreciate our major customers. We
are well served by veteran-owned businesses, and we make a special
effort in supporting them through supplier outreach programs and
opportunities.”
