Contracting officer information and contact details
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is soliciting in-house background-investigative services through a combined synopsis/solicitation under FAR subpart 12.6, issued as a total small business set-aside with NAICS code 561611. This RFQ, numbered 15A00025Q00000094, seeks qualified small business contractors to provide personnel, equipment, and services for federal background investigations under a five-year Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) with 12-month ordering periods. The work is to be performed at ATF Headquarters in Washington, D.C., with contractors designated as “Special Investigators” and required to conduct reviews of personnel security investigations, apply reciprocity standards, and support pre-employment screening. The contract type is Firm Fixed Price, and award will be made on a best value basis to up to three offerors without discussions or a competitive range, evaluating past performance, qualifications and experience, capabilities, and price—with non-price factors collectively being significantly less important than price. Offerors must submit a complete quotation package via email by 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time on June 9, 2026, including completed Survey responses for all four evaluation factors, professional resumes, pricing information, and proof of current SAM registration with a valid UEI. All communication must be in writing via email; no phone calls or voicemails will be considered.
The solicitation has undergone multiple amendments to update terms, including Amendment #0002 dated May 26, 2026, which superseded prior versions and clarified submission requirements and deadlines, and Amendment #0001, which extended the solicitation window and updated documentation references. An earlier amendment removed FAR clause 52.223-22 due to a FAR deviation, and the solicitation includes several FAR clauses with modifications, including FAR 52.212-4 and 2852.212-4 under a deviation, and FAR 52.212-5 with a February 2025 deviation. Contractors must comply with strict personnel requirements, including annual training in information security, national security, and emergency preparedness, and must ensure that Special Investigator II personnel have at least three years of experience in scoping, reviewing, and adjudicating federal background investigations. Invoicing must be submitted electronically on a bi-monthly basis
