1. Background - The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives ATF) is a law enforcement agency within the Department of Justice (DOJ). ATF’s mission is to reduce violent crime and to protect the public. ATF enforces Federal laws and regulations relating to alcohol, tobacco, firearms, explosives, and arson. The Office of Laboratory Services provides analytical and advisory services on matters of a scientific nature in support of ATF’s mission. There are two forensic science laboratories within Laboratory Services which include the Forensic Science Laboratory-Atlanta (FSL-A) and the Forensic Science Laboratory-Washington (FSL-W).

2. Scope - This request is for a combined new preventative maintenance (PM) contract for an instrument that is currently covered on a preexisting contract. The proposed contract fulfills an ongoing need for FSL-A to maintain top performance of instruments used in casework. This instrumentation is required to conduct specific laboratory examinations vital to ATF criminal investigations. Instrument downtime must be kept to a minimum to continue the effective and efficient processing of evidence related to ATF criminal investigations. Casework is the main mission of the laboratories, and it would have to be interrupted with any instrument downtime. This request is to provide support for the instruments listed below, located at the FSL-A laboratory, for one base year and if exercised four option years. Due to instrument replacement over the life of the contract, ATF requires the ability to add/remove instrumentation to the contract from the same manufacturer.
