Christopher J Albers

Christopher J Albers, a sole proprietorship based in Edinburgh, Indiana, provides background-investigative and personnel-security vetting services to federal agencies as a prime contractor under Total Small Business and full-and-open set-asides. The vendor operates exclusively in the prime role (100% of recent awards) with no subcontract footprint, competing in NAICS 561611 (Investigation and Personal Background Check Services).

Albers holds two active vehicles: a Basic Ordering Agreement with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives covering nationwide field background-investigative services within 200 miles of priority cities, with a $600,000 ceiling through July 31, 2031; and a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of State's Bureau of Diplomatic Security for background investigations supporting security clearance vetting and insider-threat personnel-security programs, with a $700,000 ceiling through April 1, 2030. The Department of State anchors the combined potential value ($700,000 across one award), while ATF accounts for two awards totaling $605,000 in potential value. Recent work includes a $5,000 firm-fixed-price delivery order from ATF issued August 31, 2026, for field background-investigative services with performance through August 13, 2027.

Activity is nascent: one award in 2025, two in 2026. Only $5,000 has been obligated across all awards to date, representing 0% of combined potential value of $1.3 million, indicating the vehicles have been awarded but work has not yet been substantially ordered. One award ($5,000 ATF delivery order) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Albers' footprint is concentrated in administrative-support background investigation and special studies related to security clearance and personnel vetting, with no geographic or customer diversification beyond the two named agencies.
