Seltzer LLC

Seltzer LLC, a New Jersey-based sole proprietorship, provides background investigation and personnel security vetting services to federal agencies as a prime contractor exclusively, operating under total small business set-aside designations on its largest vehicle and competing full-and-open on other agency agreements.

Seltzer's customer base concentrates on civilian investigative and diplomatic security agencies. The top five customers account for 100% of recent awards, led by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (4 awards, $680 thousand combined potential value), followed by the Peace Corps (3 awards, $139 thousand), the US Agency for International Development Mexico (1 award, $249 thousand), the Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security (1 award, zero-dollar BPA), and USAID Office of Security (1 award, $1). ATF dominates both volume and potential-value share. The vendor holds three parent vehicles: a Basic Ordering Agreement with ATF carrying a $600 thousand ceiling through July 31, 2031; a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Peace Corps carrying a $116,625 ceiling through November 30, 2028; and a single-award BPA with the Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security with a zero-dollar ceiling through June 2027. Recent work includes a $6,500 delivery order from ATF for field background-investigative services under the ATF BOA (August 2026), a $10,000 BPA call from the Peace Corps for background investigation on volunteer candidates (January 2026, performance through October 2028), and a $12,000 BPA call from the Peace Corps for background security investigation (May 2024, performance through November 2025).

Activity remains episodic rather than growth-oriented: three awards in 2021, declining to one in both 2022 and 2023, one in 2024, then three in 2026. Combined potential value across all ten prime awards is $1.1 million, with only $102 thousand obligated to date (10% of potential). One award reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months ($7 thousand potential value). Seltzer's capability portfolio is narrowly focused on background investigation, employment screening, criminal history and credit verification, and personnel security vetting for federal personnel and overseas volunteer candidate clearance — work classified under NAICS 561611 (Investigation and Personal Background Check Services) across all ten awards. The vendor maintains geographic performance centered on Medford Lakes, New Jersey, and must maintain capability to conduct investigations within 200 miles of specified priority cities. Seltzer holds no subcontracting relationships in the source data and operates entirely as a direct prime contractor to individual agencies.
