Basic Ordering Agreement 15A00026GAQA00018

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) awarded a multiple-award Basic Ordering Agreement to Elizabeth H Turner, a sole proprietorship, on February 1, 2026, with a ceiling value of $600,000 and ultimate completion date of January 31, 2031. This civilian federal contract procures field and background investigative services under NAICS code 561611 (Investigation and Personal Background Check Services). The prime contractor will conduct background investigations and field investigative support nationwide to assist ATF operations, with performance requirements including obtaining a favorably-adjudicated Tier-5 background investigation, maintaining willingness to travel up to 200 miles for assignments, and completing ATF-mandated training courses remotely. Ms. Turner, who has received multiple prior delivery orders from ATF since 2019 totaling approximately $295,000 and currently holds a Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of State's Bureau of Diplomatic Security, is well-positioned to fulfill these investigative requirements given her established experience in federal law enforcement support.

The original solicitation, posted on June 11, 2025, as a combined synopsis and multiple-award Basic Ordering Agreement opportunity, designated this procurement as a 100% small business set-aside under the $25 million size standard for NAICS 561611. ATF established a 60-month performance period with the solicitation remaining continuously open through June 30, 2030, to facilitate ongoing contractor qualification and award processes. Evaluation criteria emphasize past performance, qualifications and experience, capabilities, acceptability, location (requiring proximity within 200 miles of specified priority cities), and price, with compensation structured on firm-fixed pricing using ATF-predetermined point payment rates. The contract structure allows ATF to place individual task orders against the BOA to procure investigative personnel and services as needed to support agency operations in sensitive law enforcement, personnel security clearance determinations, and facility access vetting matters.
