About this opportunity
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) on February 17, 2026, for a sole-source Blanket Purchase Agreement with Thomas Scientific Holdings, doing business as Arrowhead Forensics, located in Swedesboro, New Jersey. The procurement covers ten dual wavelength forensic investigation lasers (77+ watts) capable of producing 8 watts of blue light at 445nm and 8 watts of green light at 520nm, along with two full spectrum color imaging systems featuring Windows 11 computers, Intel six-core processors, and imaging capabilities across the 254nm to 1100nm spectrum. The ATF determined that Arrowhead Forensics was the only responsible source capable of meeting all technical specifications based on market research conducted through Requests for Information posted on SAM.gov in January 2024 and January 2026. The estimated lifecycle cost of the five-year BPA, running from March 30, 2026 through March 29, 2031, is $547,881.54, with equipment to be delivered to forensic laboratories in Wichita, Kansas; Atlanta, Georgia; and Beltsville, Maryland within sixty days of purchase order award. Arrowhead Forensics was selected based on its prior successful performance on similar sole-source contracts awarded by both ATF and the Federal Bureau of Investigation between 2021 and 2024.
