Brian Hoback Consulting, LLC

Brian Hoback Consulting, LLC, a small-business sole proprietorship based in Houston, Texas, delivers fire and arson investigation instruction, explosives safety training, and regulatory compliance coursework to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides and full-and-open task orders, with 100% of its federal footprint concentrated within ATF. Brian Hoback Consulting operates as a single-person LLC under NAICS 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training) and performs all work directly with no subcontractors.

The vendor's customer concentration is absolute: all 80 awards, totaling $1.6 million in combined potential value, flow from ATF. Recent representative contracts include a $17 thousand BPA call issued August 7, 2026 for Explosives Specialist training (Law Enforcement/Industry Operations Instructor) at the ATF National Academy in Houston, Texas; a $22.5 thousand December 2025 BPA call for fire and arson specialist instructional services with an April 2026 completion date; a $10.9 thousand September 2025 fire/arson specialist call; and a $15 thousand September 2025 fire/arson specialist call. Work is performed at the ATF National Academy in Houston, Texas, with a subset of positions under a newly awarded BPA requiring flexibility for domestic and international travel assignments lasting 15 to 30 days.

Brian Hoback Consulting holds five active BPAs with ATF. The largest vehicle is BPA 15A00021AAQA00332, which has generated 26 task orders valued at $279 thousand combined potential value. BPA DJA17AHDQS0047 has produced 21 task orders worth $137 thousand; BPA DJA15AHDQS0598 has generated 10 task orders worth $58 thousand; BPA DJA15AHDQS0577 has produced 9 task orders worth $83 thousand; and BPA 15A00020AAQA00276 has generated 7 task orders worth $51 thousand. A sixth BPA—awarded July 21, 2026 with a $500 thousand ceiling and a July 30, 2031 completion date—is a single-award small business vehicle established under a Total Small Business set-aside for training instructor and program support specialist services across five specialty positions (Explosives Specialist, Fire and Arson Specialist, Exercise Support Specialist, Technical Operations Specialist, and Program Support Specialist), with individual BPA calls capped at $15 thousand per transaction and performance centered in Huntsville, Alabama.

Activity has declined over the past two years: nine awards in 2022, twelve in 2023, eight in 2024, four in 2025, and two in 2026. The vendor competes across both Total Small Business set-asides and full-and-open BPA calls, with set-aside and non-set-aside designations recurring roughly evenly across the footprint. All work is performed as instructional delivery at ATF training facilities; the vendor has no subcontract relationships and no teaming arrangements across its entire federal footprint.
