Paradigm Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: PDHO) (?Paradigm? or the ?Company?), a provider of comprehensive information technology and cybersecurity solutions for federal government enterprises, today announced it has been awarded a 5-year, $14 million subcontract from OnPoint Consulting, Inc. (Arlington, VA) to support the Department of Energy (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Information Assurance Response Center (IARC). Located in Las Vegas, NV, NNSA's Information Assurance Response Center (NIARC) is a facility that continuously monitors all activity going through the Nuclear Security Complex (NSC) computer firewall system, providing intrusion detection and event forensics.

NNSA was established by Congress in 2000 as a separately organized agency within the Department of Energy. NNSA is responsible for the management and security of the nation's nuclear weapons, nuclear non-proliferation, and naval reactor programs. It also responds to nuclear and radiological emergencies in the United States and abroad. Additionally, NNSA federal agents provide safe and secure transportation of nuclear weapons and components and special nuclear materials along with other missions supporting the national security. Given the national security implications of NNSA's mission, NIARC provides 24x7x365 security monitoring for NNSA's unclassified and classified networks encompassing 13 NNSA and DOE sites. In addition, NIARC provides enterprise systems support and classified cyber security incident management for NNSA.

Peter B. LaMontagne, Paradigm President and CEO, stated, ?We are excited to be a part of the OnPoint team in support of the IARC mission to protect and monitor NNSA's critical systems. This is a customer mission and program that we have long admired and we look forward to supporting their continued success.?

Diane Moberg, Paradigm Vice President with operational oversight for the NNSA contract, commented further, ?We are particularly pleased to welcome to Paradigm the team of talented cybersecurity professionals who support NNSA. This team adds significantly to Paradigm's cyber capability in SOC operations and advanced cyber analysis.?

Paradigm is pleased to announce this second contract win within its cybersecurity practice area. Earlier this year, the Company secured a subcontract supporting the Federal Bureau of Investigations.
