Down Range Services LLC

Down Range Services LLC, a Vancleave, Mississippi–based veteran-owned small business and self-certified small disadvantaged business, provides explosives specialist and instructor services to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives exclusively through blanket purchase agreement calls. The company operates as a Subchapter S corporation and holds service-disabled veteran-owned business (SDVOSB), Hispanic American ownership, and minority-owned designations; all sixteen awards in its recent federal footprint are prime contracts, each set aside for Total Small Business except for one 2024 call, and the vendor competes entirely within set-aside categories.

Down Range's entire customer base is the ATF within the Department of Justice. The vendor has received sixteen awards totaling $636 thousand in combined potential value since December 2021, with activity accelerating in 2024–2026 (four awards in 2024, six in 2025, five in 2026). Concrete work includes a $18,000 firm fixed-price E3 instructor services call (April 2025), multiple $5,000 to $9,100 explosives specialist BPA calls throughout 2025 and 2026, and a $17,000 instructor services call (April 2026). All calls carry short performance windows—typically six to twenty days from award to completion—and are firm fixed-price.

Down Range's primary vehicle is a $500,000 ceiling blanket purchase agreement awarded by ATF on December 2, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of December 1, 2026. Fifteen of the vendor's sixteen awards are task orders under this BPA, which carries a combined potential value of $136 thousand across those calls. The BPA scope encompasses explosives specialists, exercise support specialists, instructor services, and contract specialist personnel, with place of performance spanning multiple ATF facilities in Alabama and Mississippi, including Huntsville, Athens, Redstone Arsenal, and Vancleave. Call values have ranged from $4,500 to $18,000 since award, with early calls in 2023–2024 supporting instructor training at Huntsville and Athens locations and more recent calls (2025–2026) focused on explosives specialist services at the Vancleave facility.

The vendor's obligated value across all awards stands at $119 thousand, representing nineteen percent of combined potential value. The BPA carries a December 2026 completion date, creating recompete exposure for the ATF relationship in the near term.
