Embry-Riddle Receives Government Contract
For Flight, Security, and Safety Training

Daytona Beach, Fla., Dec. 8, 2005 -- The U.S. General Services
Administration (GSA) has awarded Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University a
government-wide contract for flight, security, and safety training. The
contract is for five years and allows for four five-year options.

The contract permits any federal agency to purchase Embry-Riddle
training-related courses without a full and open competition, a grants
process, or any open competition.

"This contract will aid Embry-Riddle's efforts to obtain
government-sponsored flight, security, and safety training from the
Department of Defense, NASA, the Federal Aviation Administration, and
any
other federal agency," said Dr. Christina Frederick-Recascino, assistant
provost for Research and Graduate Studies at Embry-Riddle.

She adds that all terms and conditions have been finalized, base pricing
negotiated, and quantity discounts identified to speed the federal
government's procurement process for the university's services.

Although the contract is currently limited to flight, security, and
safety,
the university may negotiate with the GSA to add other training-related
subjects as required.

226-7037.
