SAIC Wins Part of FBI Triology Project

Science Applications International Corp. has been awarded a task order to modernize the FBI's investigative computer systems and migrate them to a single Web-based enterprise solution under the bureau's Trilogy project.


The three-year task order for the Trilogy User Application Component has a first-year value of more than $14 million, the San Diego-based company said June 12.


Trilogy UAC is the second half of the FBI's Trilogy project to upgrade and modernize the systems that field offices and bureau headquarters use to share and exchange information. The FBI in May awarded the first half of the project to DynCorp of Reston, Va., with a three-year, $132 million task order


Both Trilogy contracts were awarded under the Millennia contract, a broad information technology services vehicle managed by the General Services Administration.


The Trilogy UAC will improve the ability of FBI agents to manage and access investigative information, according to SAIC. It will provide a single sign-on to access multiple applications from any FBI workstation and transform the user interface into a consistent, easy-to-use, Web-based application.


Agents will be able to move data between applications and store all data for a case in one location, including audio and video. Information flow also will be improved by an enterprisewide FBI intranet, which will serve as a central point for Web access and information distribution, SAIC said.


In its work, SAIC will emphasize using commercial products, maximize the use of existing infrastructure and support the inclusion of emerging information technologies, said Dana Hall, SAIC senior vice president.


"Most importantly, our solution is designed to meet the day-to-day, real-world requirements of FBI agents," Hall said.


SAIC's team includes IBM Corp.'s Global Services of Bethesda, Md., Allied Technology Group Inc. of Rockville, Md., INDUS Corp. of Vienna, Va., and Cairo Corp. of Centreville, Va. Five systems integration teams competed for the task order.


Under its task order, DynCorp will upgrade the FBI's worldwide technology networks, computer systems and selected software applications. The work includes installing enterprise management systems and enhancing data security, the FBI said.
