Donald Dolinger

Donald Dolinger, a South Carolina-based sole proprietorship, provides specialized canine training services to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives as a prime contractor under a multiple-award blanket purchase agreement. All forty awards in the source data are issued by ATF with no subcontract activity; the vendor competes across both total small business set-aside and full-and-open task orders under a single federal customer.

Dolinger's capability portfolio centers exclusively on detection-canine training for explosives and firearms identification. Representative work includes a $4,500 firm fixed-price BPA call awarded May 25, 2026, to complete by May 30, 2026, designated as a total small business set-aside; a $47,750.28 BPA call awarded January 8, 2023, for canine training services through September 30, 2023, also under total small business set-aside; and a $9,700 BPA call awarded April 20, 2022, for Accelerated Detection Canine Response (ADCR) program training completed May 6, 2022. Individual task orders range from $2,765 to $4,500 per training iteration, typically covering five-day training cycles conducted at ATF facilities nationwide, including Colorado, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Florida, Massachusetts, and California. Place of performance is Okatie, South Carolina, with administrative oversight at Bluffton.

Customer concentration is absolute — the Department of Justice Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives accounts for 100% of forty awards and the full $1.3 million combined potential value. ATF's National Canine Division, Specialized Explosives Investigation Division, and Accelerated Detection Canine Response initiatives are the sole funding drivers.

Dolinger holds a $700,000 multiple-award BPA (original ceiling; cumulative task orders total approximately $150,000 since 2022 award) running through February 28, 2027, under which the vendor operates. The source identifies three parent vehicles: Blanket Purchase Agreement 15A00022AAQA00063 carries 27 task orders ($186 thousand combined potential value), Blanket Purchase Agreement DJA12BPS0012 carries 5 task orders ($141 thousand), and Blanket Purchase Agreement DJA17AHDQS0407 carries 5 task orders ($259 thousand). Activity has remained flat across the past five years at six awards annually. Two awards (combined potential value $8 thousand) complete within the next twenty-four months, representing minimal recompete exposure. The vendor's categorization aligns to NAICS 561710 (Pet Care Services except Veterinary) and PSC Support—Professional: Veterinary/Animal Care across all federal awards.
