Palmetto Fire Consultants LLC

Palmetto Fire Consultants LLC, a veteran-owned small business based in Bluffton, South Carolina, delivers fire and arson investigation instruction and technical specialist services to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives as a prime contractor under a single Blanket Purchase Agreement. The company is structured as a sole proprietorship and service-disabled veteran-owned business (SDVOSB) operating entirely as a prime under a $500 thousand BPA vehicle awarded March 17, 2022, with ultimate completion March 16, 2027.

Palmetto Fire Consultants serves exclusively the ATF through its BPA, which frames the ordering vehicle for fire and arson specialist services, law enforcement instructor services, and program technical specialist support across multiple ATF locations. All sixteen awards in the source portfolio are BPA call orders issued against this single vehicle, with performance locations spanning Bluffton, South Carolina; Brunswick, Georgia; and Redstone Arsenal (Huntsville, Alabama). Recent representative work includes a $5,100 total small business set-aside call issued August 8, 2026, for fire and arson specialist and law enforcement instructor services; a $8,517 call from December 17, 2025, for fire and arson specialist services supporting the ATF National Academy; and a $7,300 call from May 21, 2024, for instructor services. Call orders have ranged from roughly $5,000 to $8,800 and are awarded on a firm fixed-price basis. The company has placed 15 task orders totaling $103 thousand in combined obligated dollars against the BPA since 2022, with combined potential value across all awards reaching $603 thousand.

Activity has grown modestly — two awards each in 2022 and 2023, five in 2024, four in 2025, and three through August 2026 — but remains confined to a single customer and vehicle. Only one award ($5 thousand combined potential value) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, signaling minimal near-term recompete pressure if the parent BPA renews. Palmetto Fire Consultants operates with zero subcontract activity; all work is delivered as prime. The vendor competes primarily under total small business set-asides on recent calls, though some call orders carry no set-aside designation. NAICS concentration is pure Investigation and Personal Background Check Services; all awards fall under PSC Support-Professional.
