Albert Tallant

Albert Tallant, doing business as Tallant Consulting, a sole proprietorship based in Port St. Joe, Florida, delivers explosives regulation instruction and contract specialist consulting exclusively to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives under a total small business set-aside blanket purchase agreement. All seventy-four awards in the source record are prime BPA calls to ATF, with no subcontract footprint; Tallant performs all work directly as the principal.

Tallant Consulting's entire business footprint concentrates on ATF training and operational support. The Bureau accounts for 100 percent of awards and combined potential value ($1 million across seventy-four calls since late 2021). The vendor sits on two parent multiple-award BPAs: BPA 15A00022AAQA00012 (thirty-seven task orders, $284 thousand combined potential value) and BPA DJA17AHDQS0301 (thirty-five task orders, $257 thousand combined potential value), both running through December 2026. Typical task orders range from $3,100 to $11,000 for ten- to thirty-day engagements. Representative awards include an $8,000 Competitive 8(a) instruction call from August 9, 2026 (most recent, due August 21, 2026, for explosives handling and federal firearms law training at Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville, Alabama); an $8,000 May 31, 2026 BPA call for instructor services; an $8,500 December 3, 2023 contract specialist explosives assignment; and a $9,000 April 16, 2023 explosives specialist consulting call. All awards carry total small business set-aside designation and direct performance at or in support of ATF's Redstone Arsenal facility.

Activity has remained flat to declining. The vendor recorded ten awards in 2022, nine in 2023, seven in 2024, eight in 2025, and six through August 2026. The combined potential value of $1 million and obligated dollars of $533 thousand (51 percent of potential) reflect the consistent but modest scale of task-order work. Tallant's capability portfolio is narrowly defined: explosives handling instruction, federal firearms and explosives law training, and contract specialist support in explosives regulation. Albert Tallant's personal expertise in explosives regulation and federal law enforcement training is the core delivery asset; the vendor operates as a pure subject-matter-expert sole proprietor with no identified employees or subcontractors. Competition is limited to other small businesses eligible for ATF's small business set-aside BPA vehicles, and customer concentration creates recompete risk if the primary BPA vehicles are rebid or restructured.
