PC Mall Gov, Inc., a subsidiary of PC Mall, Inc. (NASDAQ: MALL),
announced that it was awarded a five year contract with the Social
Security Administration (SSA) to continue to support their Tape
Storage Infrastructure at various locations across the United
States. This contract award is valued up to $121M.
The contract award is a follow-on to a contract that PC Mall Gov
held with SSA for their Tape Storage Infrastructure since September
of 2007. Sales under that contract, which ended September 27, 2012,
exceeded $85 million.

SSA requires maintenance and support on existing and new equipment
as well as professional services that will involve consultative
services for a relocation of the Baltimore datacenter to a new data

SSA has been a flagship account for PC Mall Gov over the life of
the previous contract. “We value this customer and are pleased that
the SSA Team has chosen PC Mall Gov to support their mission for an
additional five years. It is an exciting prospect to be involved in
SSA’s move to a new, state-of-the-art data center and to have the
opportunity to provide SSA with technologies that will fit within
their current and future vision," stated Alan Bechara, President of
PC Mall Gov.
