About this award

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) awarded a $9.84K firm fixed-price Blanket Purchase Agreement call order to Christopher L. Bayless, a sole proprietorship based in Lockport, Illinois, for investigative instructor services. This award, issued on February 17, 2026, carries a Total Small Business set-aside designation and is expected to be completed by March 5, 2026. The contract represents a task order issued under Bayless's single-award BPA with the ATF established June 1, 2023, which serves as the parent vehicle for procuring specialized investigative training services for the ATF National Academy.

Bayless provides advanced training in field operations, tactical procedures, and investigative methodologies to federal, state, and local law enforcement professionals attending the ATF National Academy. As an independent contractor with no subcontractors, Bayless leverages direct expertise in law enforcement to deliver multi-day in-person training courses, typically lasting 10-12 days and including travel accommodations. The established vendor relationship, reflected through consistent task orders issued since October 2021 with values generally ranging from $6,000 to $8,000, demonstrates the ATF's reliance on Bayless as a reliable resource for developing advanced investigative capabilities across the law enforcement community.
