Trilogy Innovations officially began work in July on a $93 million contract with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), a procurement contract where Trilogy will help transform the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) system of the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) division.

Trilogy will assist CJIS in transitioning the NCIC to secure, leading-edge, cloud-based technology, providing essential services for the program known as FBI FAST (FBI Agility with SAFe {Scaled Agile Framework} Teams) to modernize the FBI’s mission critical system at CJIS. A team of 65 professionals will work on the five-year contract.

“This contract represents an important expansion in our continued relationship with the FBI, with whom we have been a longtime partner,” said Trilogy CEO and Co-Founder Brandon Downey. “We certainly know and understand how critical the FBI’s mission is for national safety and security, and we’re proud to be a part of that. We look forward to supporting the transformation of the FBI’s NCIC system.”

Russ Guzek will serve as Business Owner on the contract, managing and leading the team assigned to converting the most widely used public safety and law enforcement system in the U.S. He said the Trilogy team for the contract is highly qualified, as they work on a system that has an average of 11 million transactions each day.

“The team brings together resources from several different agencies, just by virtue of their clearances,” Guzek said. “We’re bringing a broad range of experience and expertise in the classified Federal space to the table, in addition to a strong base of incumbent talent. It speaks highly of Trilogy to do mission critical work on an essential tool for public safety and national security.”

The NCIC system is designed to provide near real-time responses, with most transactions completed in less than a second. More than 90,000 criminal justice and law enforcement agencies rely on NCIC for information.

“This business growth is a testament to Trilogy, its capabilities, and its talented team,” said Trilogy President and Co-Founder Randy Cottle. “This contract increases Trilogy’s footprint of quality resources to the CJIS division of the FBI and further demonstrates our commitment to the FBI mission and everything it represents. We also strongly believe that this contract will help shape other business opportunities as Trilogy demonstrates its core strengths.”
