1 min readAnalysis
Mentioned:Deloitte$100M · Contract Award

The Department of Homeland Security has forecast a recompete of its Trio Financial Systems Modernization Solution contract worth more than $100 million. Deloitte currently holds the incumbent task order.

What's happening

  • DHS published the recompete forecast on its acquisition planning system on September 16, 2026.
  • Solicitation is estimated for January 4, 2027, with award anticipated in Q3 FY2027.
  • Performance runs through April 29, 2028, with work based in Springfield, Virginia.
  • The firm-fixed-price task order will be awarded under NASA's Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement V vehicle.

Why it matters

  • Trio FSMS supports three DHS components covering financial management, procurement, contract writing, asset management and valuation.
  • The contractor provides system life cycle management, testing, quality control, software engineering and help desk support across multiple feeder systems.
  • DHS aims to consolidate components onto standard business processes using as few separate systems as practical.

Going deeper

  • Trio is an Oracle E-Business Suite implementation that originally covered the Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction office, Transportation Security Administration and Coast Guard.
  • The CWMD office was dissolved in early 2026, narrowing the covered components.
  • The Trio program sits under DHS Financial Systems Modernization, established after a 2011 memorandum from the under secretary for management.

Financial impact

  • Award of the task order will generate revenue recognition for the winning contractor beginning Q3 FY2027 through April 2028.
  • The firm-fixed-price structure means the contractor bears cost risk over the performance period.
  • Timing of revenue recognition depends on contract terms and task order specifics, which are not disclosed.

The fine print

  • This is a recompete, meaning Deloitte's incumbent task order is being contested.
  • Award is contingent on solicitation release on or near January 4, 2027, and evaluation completion by Q3 FY2027.
  • The $100 million figure is a forecast value; actual obligated funds may differ based on task order structure.
