About this opportunity
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is seeking a Ballistics Research Assistant for its Research Ballistic Facility located at Redstone Arsenal. The contract requires an expert-level professional with specialized knowledge in wound ballistics, medical training, and advanced ballistic instrumentation, particularly experience with Oehler ballistic instruments and software. Successful candidates must possess a medical doctorate degree, U.S. citizenship, and the ability to obtain a SECRET security clearance, with a minimum of 10 years of structured ballistic research experience. The FBI is currently conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to gather market research, with responses due by January 24, 2025, and interested vendors must submit capabilities statements via an Excel spreadsheet to the contracting point of contact, Tabitha Williams. The evaluation will focus on vendors' expertise in reviewing medical reports, conducting weapons testing, performing ballistic gelatin testing, and operating motion analysis equipment.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designation, meaning the opportunity is open to all businesses. The contract is structured for a single contractor to provide 1,500 hours of service annually, with an initial base period starting February 22, 2025, and potential five one-year option periods extending through February 21, 2031. While specific award value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive requirements suggest a significant technical and medical expertise investment. The contractor will primarily work at the Ballistic Research Facility during government core hours of 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with potential limited off-site work. Additional unique requirements include maintaining proficiency with FBI-issued firearms, providing quarterly firearms qualification reports, and undergoing annual blood tests for lead and zinc protoporphyrin levels, as well as hearing tests.
