Fusion Teams with Native Hawaiian Organization on Fed-focused Joint Venture

Malama Kai Technologies (MKT), a Native Hawaiian Organization, and Fusion Technology LLC, a HUBZone small business, have formed a new joint venture named Kai Fusion that aims to enhance their combined capabilities in cloud, agile development, cybersecurity, and enterprise IT, targeting complex challenges within the federal government sector.

MKT’s CEO, Holly Hidalgo, highlighted the benefits of leveraging the NHO status with Fusion Technology’s strong track record of supporting major federal departments such as the Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, and Department of Defense.

Based in West Virginia, Fusion specializes in digital transformation and cybersecurity solutions, including cloud development, biometric integration, and Agile software development. In April of this year, Fusion announced that it secured a five-year, $159.8 million contract to support the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) division. Under the “FBI Agility with SAFe Teams (FAST) Law Enforcement Support Services” contract, Fusion will develop, test, and deliver software solutions for key law enforcement platforms such as the National Data Exchange (N-DEx), Law Enforcement Online (LEO) System, crime data applications, and the Law Enforcement Enterprise Portal (LEEP).

“We are excited to have an agile and forward-looking company, like MKT, as our Joint venture partner,” said Eli Hammerman, Fusion Technology’s Chief Growth Officer. “Our software and cyber capabilities paired with MKT’s mission focused expertise, position Kai Fusion to support the most complex challenges in the Federal Government.”

Kai Fusion will have the advantage of receiving directed, sole-source, non-competed contract awards from federal agencies, including DoD contracts up to $100 million without requiring Justification and Approval (J&A), offering potentially significant time and cost savings in the government contracting process.
