National Tactical Officers Association

The National Tactical Officers Association (NTOA), a tax-exempt non-profit organization headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, has established itself as a specialized provider of law enforcement training and professional development services to federal agencies. Since registering with SAM.gov in 2002, NTOA has built a track record of delivering comprehensive tactical training, crisis intervention programs, and professional certification courses designed to enhance the capabilities and effectiveness of law enforcement personnel across federal, state, and local jurisdictions.

NTOA's federal contract portfolio demonstrates significant engagement with multiple law enforcement agencies through purchase order arrangements. The organization has received four documented federal contract awards totaling approximately $194,080, with performance across several federal agencies. The U.S. Secret Service awarded NTOA two separate firm fixed-price contracts for delivery of the Basic Command Certification Course, valued at $21,672 (awarded December 8, 2025, for performance in Washington, DC) and $20,751 (awarded March 3, 2025), providing specialized command-level training to federal law enforcement personnel. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Office of Firearms and Tactical Programs awarded NTOA a substantial $143,975 firm fixed-price purchase order contract for specialized law enforcement training classes, with performance extending through January 13, 2027. Additionally, the U.S. Marshals Service Training Academy awarded NTOA a $7,682 purchase order in November 2021 for participation in the NTOA Tactics Review Working Group. All of these contract awards operated as purchase orders without set-aside designations, indicating open competition procurement processes.

NTOA's federal grant portfolio reflects its broader mission to enhance law enforcement capabilities through comprehensive training initiatives. The organization currently manages two major prime federal grant awards with a combined value exceeding $1,000,000. The Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance awarded NTOA a $1,000,000 Project Grant under the Congressionally Recommended Awards program (CFDA 16.753) to provide mental health crisis intervention training for law enforcement personnel nationwide. This grant, running from October 2024 through December 2026, supports the delivery of virtual and in-person training courses covering crisis intervention, mental health first aid, emotional intelligence, and law enforcement response to mental health-related incidents, with intended beneficiaries including active law enforcement and corrections officers from all 50 states. NTOA also received a Project Grant from the Community Oriented Policing Program (COPS Office) under the FY 2023 Technology and Equipment Program (TEP), an invitation-only grant program designed to develop and acquire effective equipment and technologies for crime prevention and response. This grant was awarded December 29, 2022, with performance completion targeted for December 31, 2025, reflecting NTOA's involvement in broader law enforcement technology and equipment initiatives beyond traditional training delivery.
