The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), a civilian agency within the Department of Justice, awarded a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) to Kevin M. O'Rourke for field and background investigative services effective May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2031. This single-award, non-set-aside contract carries a ceiling value of $600,000 and establishes a vehicle for ATF to procure specialized investigative support nationwide. The contractor will conduct background investigations and field interviews to support ATF operations and programs requiring fieldwork and subject interviews across the United States. O'Rourke, operating as a sole proprietorship, brings relevant past performance history with ATF, having previously delivered investigative services under multiple award contract vehicles and delivery orders since at least October 2019, with cumulative prior orders totaling approximately $92,361.

The original solicitation, posted as a pre-solicitation on June 11, 2025, called for multiple BOAs under a 60-month performance period at firm-fixed pricing rates predetermined as fair and reasonable by ATF. The solicitation was structured as a 100% small business set-aside under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 561611 (Investigation and Personal Background Check Services), with a size standard of $25 million. Key requirements included contractor location within 200 miles of specified priority cities, a favorably-adjudicated Tier-5 background investigation, and System for Award Management (SAM) registration. Evaluation factors encompassed past performance, qualifications and experience, capabilities, acceptability, location, and price, with successful contractors expected to complete ATF training remotely, maintain strict confidentiality, demonstrate willingness to travel up to 200 miles for assignments, and possess federal investigative or specialized investigative backgrounds.
