NIC
Acquires Current State of Texas eGovernment Contract from BearingPoint
OLATHE, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 29, 2009--NIC Inc. (NASDAQ: EGOV)
today announced it has acquired an eGovernment contract in the state of
Texas from BearingPoint, Inc., which includes the current TexasOnline
portal management engagement through December 31, 2009.
The contract acquired from BearingPoint, Inc. is separate from the
active procurement for the rebid of the TexasOnline portal contract. The
state of Texas issued a Request for Offers ("RFO") for its official
state portal in October 2008, and the new contract is scheduled to begin
on January 1, 2010. While NIC has submitted a proposal in response to
that RFO, it is NIC's policy not to comment on the status of such a
procurement process until a final contract award has been made and the
winning contractor has been announced by the applicable state.
Deloitte LLP, which had agreed to acquire substantially all of the
assets of BearingPoint's North American Public Services business out of
bankruptcy, designated NIC as the acquirer from BearingPoint, Inc. of
the remainder of the current TexasOnline portal management contract and
projects which operate under a related Master Work Order.
"We are pleased to provide the state of Texas with the portal management
expertise necessary to maintain stability during this period of
transition", said Harry Herington, Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer of NIC. "Being the nation's leading eGovernment portal
company, NIC is uniquely qualified to provide assistance while the state
proceeds with the TexasOnline 2.0 procurement".
The transaction closed today. Operating under the Austin-based Texas
NICUSA, LLC subsidiary, NIC will become the prime contractor for the
current TexasOnline portal management contract and Master Work Order
beginning May 30. In addition, NIC has contracted with Deloitte
Consulting LLP to operate certain of the Master Work Order projects as a
subcontractor.
"Providing superior customer service is a guiding principle of our
business. We will continue to work diligently with the state and current
TexasOnline employees to ensure a seamless transition with no
interruption to those who use the official state portal or any of the
Master Work Order solutions", concluded Herington.
Withdrawal of Previous Guidance for 2009
NIC had previously issued guidance regarding the financial results
expected for full year 2009, which did not include any new portal
contracts. As a result of the acquisition of the current TexasOnline
portal management contract and Master Work Order, the Company believes
that the previously-issued guidance is no longer operative and cautions
investors to no longer rely upon such guidance. The Company intends to
issue new guidance for 2009 after it determines the reasonably likely
financial effects of the new contract.
