What Simple Technology Solutions does

Simple Technology Solutions (STS) is a privately held, Washington D.C.-area federal technology consultancy founded in 2013 that delivers digital systems engineering, cloud infrastructure, AI/ML, DevSecOps, and managed services exclusively to U.S. federal agencies — primarily in law enforcement, public safety, national security, and civilian mission areas. The company's core product portfolio centers on three proprietary accelerators: A³, a headless AI platform compliant with federal standards and pre-integrated with LLM services (Translate, Transcribe, Computer Vision); MSOC, a FedRAMP-compliant managed security operations center providing IaaS hosting, 24x7 Tier 1-3 triage, and incident response; and C-CAT, a generative AI tool leveraging LLM and RAG to automate CJIS Security Policy documentation review. STS also delivers application modernization, data engineering on Azure + Databricks, AI-enhanced Amazon Connect contact centers, and a Vulnerability Remediation Intelligence Pipeline built on Amazon Bedrock.

STS contracts exclusively with the federal government through GSA STARS III (#47QTCB22D0037) and GSA MAS IT & Cloud Services (#GS-35F-271GA, SINs 518210C and 54151S), and pursues direct agency engagements. The company is ISO 9001 (NQA) and CMMI Level 3 certified, and operates FedRAMP- and CJIS-aligned environments. Its most prominent disclosed engagement is a 2025 deployment with Mark43 for the U.S. Department of the Interior Office of Law Enforcement and Security, spanning six law enforcement programs, approximately 3,000 sworn officers, 855+ locations, and 24+ dispatch centers unified under a single cloud-native platform. Core technology partners include AWS, Microsoft Azure, Databricks, Amazon Bedrock, and Mark43, with NASA cited as both a customer and partner. Revenue is generated through professional services contracts and managed services arrangements; pricing is not publicly disclosed and follows standard federal procurement conventions.
