OVERVIEW

The Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), National Center for Explosives Training and Research (NCETR) is issuing this Statement of Work (SOW) for Explosives Specialist, Fire / Arson Specialist, Exercise Support Specialist, Technical Operations Specialist, Academy Canine Trainer and NORT Canine Trainer, (herein referred to as “Contractor”) with the intent to issue multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA) with fixed daily rates. ATF anticipates opportunities to provide services will be rotated among successful contractors after consideration of availability, rates, geographic location and positive performance ratings. Once a contractor has been awarded a BPA, ATF is not obligated to select that contractor to provide services for a specific course or to continue to use a contractor following BPA award. The selection of a contractor under the BPA is within ATF’s discretion and authority and is not subject to protest or dispute procedures.
Under this agreement, ATF may use the negotiated rates to apply to actual service time or for time spent developing content for new or updated training. It is not the intent of this agreement to procure the services of placement companies with a pool of available instructors. BPAs will be awarded on a one-to-one, individual basis.
In support of ATF’s Strategic Plan and mission objectives, NCETR is dedicated to supporting ATF personnel, law enforcement, military, and industry partners through the dissemination of ATF’s unique knowledge and expertise to prevent terrorism, reduce violent crime, and protect the public. NCETR’s training mission is to:
1. Assess, design, deliver and evaluate innovative training programs, 2. Facilitate a creative learning environment that fosters continuous learner development, and
3. Create an adaptable workforce capable of meeting current and future mission requirements.
