July 22, 2002 -- Pittsburgh -- Kinetic Workplace, the leading provider of telework, hoteling and virtual officing solutions, announced today that it has been awarded the General Services Administration (GSA) Management, Organizational and Business Improvement Services (MOBIS) contract schedule. Federal agencies can now take advantage of Kinetics e-workplace" solutions with the ease of purchasing from the MOBIS schedule.

The appointment of Kinetic Workplace as a GSA schedule contractor comes at an opportune time given the 2001 Department of Transportation Appropriations law. The law required 25 percent of all eligible federal employees to participate in the federal telework program in 2001, and increase participation 25 percent each subsequent year. The GSA schedule provides government organizations with a streamlined procurement vehicle to acquire products and services quickly, easily and below market rates from companies like Kinetic Workplace to take steps toward compliance with the law. The GSA and Office of Personnel Management (OPM) have been charged with managing the federal telework program and assuring federal agencies meet the requirements of the law.

This is a critical time for the federal government and an exciting opportunity for Kinetic Workplace," says Tim Kane, President and CEO of Kinetic Workplace. The GSA and OPM have been working diligently to promote and educate the federal agencies in the area of telework, and assist them in setting up telework policies. Now Kinetic can also support the federal agencies in this effort providing complete turnkey program development and implementation, or individual consulting services that measure, enhance and maintain their current telework initiative."
