Who can bid
- Small business size under NAICS 532111 (the ATF is looking for qualified small businesses; no set-aside is listed on SAM.gov)
- A signed non-disclosure agreement (NDA) on file before the Performance Work Statement (PWS, the document describing the work) is released
How to submit: Email to Charles.Strickland_Jr@atf.gov and Ali.Karzai@atf.gov, due November 5, 2026, 5:00 PM Eastern (SAM.gov); the notice text says 5:00 PM EST, November 04, 2026. What to include is under Full summary below. Check the solicitation's instructions on SAM.gov.
Things to watch
From the version posted Oct 26, 2026.
- Worth checking: Work statement not posted; NDA required to see it. The PWS is not public because of the sensitive nature of the requirement. You must request it by email and sign a non-disclosure agreement first, so you cannot judge the full scope from the posting.
- Worth checking: Nationwide scale with one national office. A business must be able to cover the whole Bureau through a single office and name a dedicated team, which favors firms with a national rental network.
- Minor: Sources sought only, no RFQ exists. Responses are voluntary market research; there is nothing to quote on yet and the Government pays nothing for responses.
