About this opportunity
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) issued a non-competitive Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (JEFO) on January 14, 2026, for administrative and technical support services at its Fire Research Laboratory and Forensic Science Laboratory located at the National Laboratory Center in Beltsville, Maryland. The contract, awarded to Cayuse Federal Services—a tribally-owned 8(a) small business certified as a small-disadvantaged business and HUBZone firm—was justified under FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(E) due to circumstances requiring a short-term bridge award, including deferred resignation program transitions, government shutdown impacts, and lack of available resources. The estimated maximum dollar value of the contract is $2.58 million and covers the period from January 14, 2026, through January 7, 2027, which includes a 25-day transition period and an 11-month base period with no options. The required services span nine labor categories with 15 total personnel, encompassing program management, operational support (test article preparation, instrumentation calibration, and equipment maintenance), administrative support, scientific-technical support, and field support, along with specialized certifications in safety, health, emergency response, and powered industrial truck operations. The ATF plans to issue a competitive re-compete in 2026 under GSA's OASIS+SB pools and intends to potentially expand services to additional locations in Atlanta, Georgia, and Wichita, Kansas.
