Trial By Fire LLC is a woman-owned small business located in Lee's Summit, Missouri, specializing in providing instructor services primarily to federal law enforcement agencies. Registered in SAM.gov since October 2005, the company focuses on delivering specialized training and instructional support, with a specific emphasis on supporting the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). The company's core competency appears to be providing technical instruction related to firearms, explosives, arson investigation, and related law enforcement training programs.

The company has consistently been awarded federal contract opportunities set aside for total small businesses, exclusively working with the ATF through Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call contracts. These contracts, typically ranging from $4,900 to $7,000, involve providing instructor services across various training domains. The specific instructional services have included support for accounting operations, firearms and explosives training, and specialized technical instruction for ATF personnel. Each contract has been structured as a firm fixed-price agreement with defined performance periods ranging from weeks to months, demonstrating Trial By Fire LLC's ability to deliver targeted, short-duration training interventions that support the ATF's regulatory and law enforcement mission.

Trial By Fire LLC holds a multiple award blanket purchase agreement with the ATF, awarded on June 8, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of June 7, 2027, and a potential ceiling value of $500,000. This indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract allows the ATF to issue task orders for specialized instructor services on an as-needed basis. The BPA covers contract specialist roles, specifically focusing on fire/arson specialist and law enforcement instructor/program technical specialist positions. The agreement provides flexibility for the ATF to procure instructional support services across various training needs, with task orders potentially covering one-week to one-month training periods and priced between $6,000 and $7,000 per task order.
