What GC&E Systems Group does

GC&E Systems Group, LLC is a privately held, veteran-owned IT and electronic security systems integrator founded in 1999 and headquartered in Peachtree Corners, Georgia (Norcross mailing address), with a regional office in Tampa, Florida. In February 2026, Bristol Bay Native Corporation (BBNC) acquired GC&E, converting it into a wholly owned Alaska Native Corporation subsidiary. The company is organized around six core solution areas: Systems Integration and Engineering (including EFIT — Engineer, Procure, Install, Secure, Test), Integrated Communications and Technology, Cybersecurity Services, Information Technology, Electronic Security, and Managed Services. Underlying capabilities include turnkey structured cabling (over 2.5 million runs and 89,000+ miles installed since inception), enterprise VTC, wireless and land mobile radio, video surveillance and access control, a 24/7 Security Operations Center using BOMGAR remote support, and disaster recovery design.

GC&E sells almost exclusively to public-sector buyers, organized into five customer segments: Federal Defense (U.S. Air Force, Army, Navy, Marine Corps, DARPA, DLA), Federal Civilian (CDC, EPA, GSA, IRS, DHS), State and Local (State of Georgia, Fulton County, DeKalb County, City of Atlanta), K-12 and Higher Education (multiple Georgia districts and universities), and Healthcare Providers (Military Health Facilities, HHS, VA). It distributes through GSA Schedule 70 (47QTCA19D006S) and GSA Schedule 84 (47QSWA19D0071) and holds prime or subcontractor positions on major DoD vehicles including IMCS III, RS3, ITES-3S, TEIS IV, GTACS, and CTS. Pricing is quote-based through these contract vehicles rather than published list prices.

The business model is professional services and managed services delivered under fixed-price and cost-reimbursable task orders, augmented by product resale of OEM infrastructure and electronic security components from partners including Genetec, Utility Inc., Polycom, Tandberg, and BOMGAR. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified, CMMI Level 3 compliant, and recommended for ISO 27001:2013 and ISO 20000-1:2018 certification. Leadership includes President Dennis Bristol (20+ years at GC&E, former US Army), General Manager Don Barnes (35+ years IT industry experience), and Senior Director of Sales Rob Hile. GC&E reports 101–250 employees.
