Offringa, Allan R

Offringa, Allan R, doing business as Advanced Fire Arms Consulting Group, operates as a sole proprietorship delivering forensic firearm identification and examination training to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives as a prime contractor under blanket purchase agreements, with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

Based in Rochester, Massachusetts, Advanced Fire Arms Consulting Group specializes exclusively in instructor-led training for the National Firearms Examiner Academy curriculum and forensic firearm identification techniques supporting ATF's regulatory and law enforcement missions. The vendor holds no sub-award work and competes entirely as a prime under full-and-open solicitations.

Customer concentration is absolute. The Department of Justice Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives accounts for 38 of 54 total awards (70% of award count) and $437 thousand of $493 thousand combined potential value (89% of potential dollars). Offringa has served this single customer exclusively since 2004. Recent representative work includes a $21,500 firm fixed price BPA call awarded March 8, 2026, for NFEA instructor services with an ultimate completion date of April 30, 2026; a $20,000 BPA call from March 2, 2025, for NFEA instructor services; and a $19,000 BPA call from April 2, 2024, for the same curriculum. All three sit against the vendor's active blanket purchase agreement with ATF, which carries a $150 thousand ceiling and runs through December 29, 2026.

The vendor operates under four primary BPAs with ATF. The active multiple-award BPA (DJA11BPS0114, awarded January 4, 2022, through December 29, 2026) has generated eleven task orders worth $109 thousand combined potential value. Three other historical BPAs (DJA06E000263, 15A00022AAQA00022, and DJA16AHDQS0758) collectively account for 28 awards with $178 thousand combined potential value. Activity has declined in recent years — the vendor issued one award in 2025, one in 2024, one in 2023, and two in 2022 — though the current BPA remains active and available for additional calls through the end of 2026. Work is classified under NAICS 611710 (All Other Miscellaneous Schools and Instruction) and PSC 7410 (Support — Professional: Other).
