Ward Patrick B Patrick Blair Ward Division, doing business as Patrick Blair Ward Consulting, is a sole proprietorship specializing in providing explosives instructor services to the federal government, primarily the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). As an expert in explosives handling, safety, and investigation, Ward offers critical training and instruction to support ATF's law enforcement and regulatory missions. The business is registered in SAM.gov and has been actively receiving federal contract awards since at least 2020, demonstrating its ongoing relationship with federal agencies in delivering specialized explosives-related education and training services.

Through numerous prime contract awards, Patrick Blair Ward Consulting has consistently provided explosives instructor services to the ATF National Academy and other ATF facilities. These services typically involve delivering specialized training courses on explosives handling, safety, investigation, and enforcement to federal law enforcement personnel. The contract awards have supported training programs at ATF's facilities in Coppell, Texas; Brunswick, Georgia; and Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. Specific courses have included Special Agent Basic Training, Advanced Armament Instruction, and various explosives specialist programs. The majority of these awards have been made without set-aside designations, indicating full and open competition. Contract values have ranged from approximately $2,000 to $10,000 per award, with performance periods typically lasting from a few days to two weeks.

Patrick Blair Ward Consulting holds a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with the ATF, awarded on May 1, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of April 30, 2025. This multiple-award BPA serves as the primary vehicle for the ATF to procure explosives instructor services from Ward. Under this BPA, the ATF issues firm fixed price task orders for specific training requirements, with individual order values ranging from approximately $2,000 to $10,000. The total potential value of task orders issued against this BPA exceeds $300,000. The BPA enables the ATF to efficiently obtain Ward's specialized explosives instruction services to support its National Academy training initiatives and other explosives-related educational programs across multiple ATF facilities. This arrangement underscores the ongoing demand for Ward's expertise in explosives safety and handling within the federal law enforcement community.
