Corrigendum-Field, Background-Investigative Services (Multiple Award)

The Department of Justice, through its Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (ATF) Acquisition and Property Management Division, is soliciting quotations for investigative services under a combined synopsis/solicitation (RFQ). The work sought comprises field investigative and background check services, as defined under NAICS 561611, and is classified as a commercial service under the Product Service Code R799-SUPPORT-MANAGEMENT: OTHER. This RFQ supersedes earlier notices and is the sole written solicitation issued by ATF for this procurement cycle, requiring offerors to submit a complete quotation package in accordance with FAR subpart 12.6 and any amendments issued.

Offerors must review all attachments, particularly the modified survey for factors 1‑6 and the updated questions and responses, and follow the detailed instructions provided in the most recent amendment. Offerors who already hold a basic‑ordering agreement (BOA) with ATF must refrain from responding until at least three to five months before their BOA expires, and are not required to sign Amendment 0002. Compliance with FAR 52.219‑14, omission of clause ATF‑50, and adherence to the revised questionnaire and BOA timing requirements are essential.
