Vienna, VA – April 4, 2008 – MSPX Inc. is pleased to announce that its Xentrak Collaborative Resource Management Software is part of a solution that recently received a procurement contract under the Department of Homeland Securities initiative and FEMA program: Commercial Equipment Direct Assistance Program (CEDAP) along with Fortified Datacom and Defense Group Inc.

 This award represents critical growth of the Xentrak user base expanding into approximately forty jurisdictions in the first year of the contract alone.

 Neil Cohen, Director of Business Development for Defense Group Inc., stated, “CoBRA software is proud to be part of the Fortified NOMAD offering.  It was truly a team effort to put together a total solution that enhances first responder capabilities, including pre-planning, response, collaboration, resource allocation and after action reporting. First responders serving in rural or smaller jurisdictions will find the NOMAD integrated system a superior and rugged package for crisis incident command.”

Xentrak extends the power of NOMAD and CoBRA providing data availability and also “data” interoperability when multiple NOMAD kits function together. In accordance with NIMS resource typing, consumable and returnable resources, including volunteers and donations, can be itemized and tracked creating applications for NOMAD across a jurisdiction thereby providing additional value from the CEDAP grant funds.

Steve Cooper, President of Fortified Datacom commented that, “This sale represents the culmination of months of dedicated effort by all our team members on behalf of emergency responders at the local level. It also recognizes our commitment to quality and the application of knowledge gleaned from our participation in numerous joint exercises and actual deployments.
