Scott Balfour

Scott Balfour is a sole proprietorship registered as a for-profit organization to receive federal contracts and grants. As an individual vendor, Scott Balfour specializes in providing background investigative services to federal agencies.

Through prime contract awards, Scott Balfour has performed background field investigator services for the Department of Justice Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). This work has included delivering background checks and investigations under a firm-fixed-price delivery order valued at $22,859.67 set aside for small businesses. The order was issued against a Blanket Purchase Agreement to provide these services through July 2026. Scott Balfour has also served as a prime contractor for the Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security, securing a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement in December 2022 to furnish background investigative services supporting personnel security screening for that agency's global operations. While the BPA has no initial value, it enables the Bureau to issue task orders for vetting investigations through December 2027 under this open competition vehicle. Additionally, Scott Balfour holds a Basic Ordering Agreement awarded by ATF in August 2021 for field investigative services, allowing that agency to place orders for background checks and screening until July 2026.

Scott Balfour currently holds two contract vehicles to provide background investigative services to federal agencies. For the Department of State, a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement enables task orders for personnel security vetting, screening, and related support for the Bureau of Diplomatic Security through late 2027. An additional Basic Ordering Agreement awarded by ATF allows that agency to procure field investigative services from Scott Balfour, spanning background checks and investigations to facilitate security screening for its personnel and operations. Effective through July 2026, this single-award BOA offers a flexible contracting method for ATF's investigative requirements over the next three years. These indefinite-delivery vehicles position Scott Balfour to continue furnishing crucial background investigative capabilities across key federal security Components and Bureaus responsible for protecting personnel, facilities, and national interests both domestically and abroad.
