About the company
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation, a division of the Colorado Department of Public Safety based in Lakewood, Colorado, operates as a state government entity that receives federal grant funding as a recipient (68% of awards) and sub-recipient (32% of awards), with no federal contract prime or subcontract footprint. CBI is not an SBA-certified business; as a government division, it does not compete under set-asides and is ineligible for commercial contracting vehicles.
CBI's federal grant portfolio centers on forensic DNA analysis, cold case investigations, drug trafficking intelligence, and criminal justice records management. CBI is a primary grant recipient from the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) under the DNA Capacity Enhancement and Backlog Reduction (CEBR) Program, receiving formula grants to hire forensic scientists, fund overtime for DNA analysis, purchase DNA extraction and sample-tracking software (including STACS and STRmix), and reduce backlogs in biological-science case analysis. A $500 thousand Project Grant from BJA's National Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (SAKI) program, awarded October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2026, supports CBI's efforts to inventory and forensically test unresolved homicide cases with suspected sexual components; of 1,354 unresolved homicides statewide, CBI has identified 188 meeting this criteria and is conducting investigative genetic genealogy and traditional DNA testing. CBI also receives project grants from the Office of the National Drug Control Policy's High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) Program to aid federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement in dismantling drug trafficking and money laundering organizations. Recent activity shows CBI amended its October 1, 2025 BJA CEBR award (running through September 30, 2027) in July 2026 to outsource sexual assault kit testing to Sorenson, Bode, and Signature Science for greater backlog reduction, allocating 150 to 200 cases to vendor labs after exhausting state funding.
As a sub-recipient, CBI operates under pass-through grants from its parent, the Colorado Department of Public Safety, fielding federal funds for forensic services backlog reduction, criminal history record matching, fingerprint verification against FBI records, victim assistance, and specialized equipment procurement (comparison microscopes for firearms examiners, live-scan machines, and mobile ID devices for local law enforcement). The department's grant sub-awards address Drug Chemistry, Toxicology, Trace Chemistry, Latent Prints, and Firearms analysis disciplines across four ISO 17025:2017 accredited full-service laboratory facilities statewide serving Colorado's population of over 5.4 million. Top federal customers by award count are the Bureau of Justice Assistance (18 awards), the Office of the National Drug Control Policy (9 awards), and the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs (10 awards collectively), accounting for 80% of recent awards. The top dollar value sits with the Office of Personnel Management's National Background Investigations Bureau ($369 thousand combined potential value across 2 awards) and the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency ($120 thousand across 1 award), reflecting CBI's role in criminal history records management for federal background investigation support. Combined obligated dollars total $22.2 million against a combined potential value of $523 thousand, indicating substantial multi-year carryover from prior awards and budget amendments. Two awards face completion inside the next twenty-four months.
