I'm no expert in three letter agencies, but just working at a Silicon Valley hardware company, the FBI occasionally comes to our office to present information on supply chain tampering in China. (Some of their examples are fantastic.) They gave us cards with the number for the local FBI office and implored us to always contact them first, even if it's probably nothing.
In my line of work, I've never run into anybody introducing themselves as the CIA doing outreach...
