Exhibit 99.2
                       VSE Wins Ship Transfer Contract
                      New Pact Worth Up To $544 Million

	Alexandria, Virginia April 25, 2005 - VSE Corporation (Nasdaq: VSEC)
reported today that it has been awarded a $544 million cost plus award fee
contract for services in support of U.S. Navy ships that are bought, sold, or
otherwise transferred through the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program to FMS
customers.

       VSE's BAV Division will continue to support the Navy's FMS program under
this new, single award contract. The new contract, which has a one-year base
period and four one-year options, replaces a similar ten-year contract awarded
to VSE in 1995. The ship transfer contract awarded in 1995 has represented from
37 to 56% of annual VSE revenues each year since 1996. In 2004, ship transfer
contract revenues of about $113 million represented 52.3% of total VSE revenues
for the year; however, future VSE revenues under this new indefinite-delivery/
indefinite-quantity award cannot be predicted with certainty.

       Since 1995, VSE has transferred 30 ships to foreign governments, and the
Company is currently reactivating four ex-Kidd class guided-missile destroyers
(DDGs) for transfer to Taiwan. Additionally, VSE actively supports eleven
countries through the follow-on technical support requirements of the Navy FMS
contract, providing training, maintenance, repair, and in-country infrastructure
improvement assistance in support of transferred ships. Countries currently
supported are Bahrain, Egypt, Japan, Mexico, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Poland,
Philippines, Morocco, and Spain.

       VSE's BAV Division is part of the Company's International Group under the
direction of Executive Vice President James M. Knowlton. Commenting on the
award, Mr. Knowlton said, "We are proud to continue our support as part of the
Naval Sea Systems Command FMS team. This work is important not only to our
foreign customers, but to our Navy as well, as it creates critical
interoperability with our allies in strategic parts of the world."

	VSE provides diversified services to the engineering, energy and
environment, defense, and homeland security markets from more than 15 locations
across the United States and around the world. For the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2004, VSE reported consolidated revenues of $216 million and
earnings of $3.4 million ($1.49 per share diluted).
