- The U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), is soliciting proposals for individual instructors for specialized law enforcement courses. Course participants cover a broad range of students, including inspectors, technical specialists, special agents and management personnel. The law enforcement subject areas for which instructors are required are Arson; Explosives; Firearms Identification and Investigation; Use of Force; Special Operations and Advanced Investigations; Leadership; Industry Operations and Basic Training. ATF intends to award several Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) covering a five-year period that will be available for placing calls/orders for services at U. S. and worldwide locations. Because ATFs needs are dynamic, ATF will periodically solicit additional offers to add new instructors to the pool. Therefore, ATF will have recurring open submission periods to receive and evaluate proposals for additional contract instructors. The following schedule depicts the current and anticipated solicitation, submissions and evaluation timeframes: Proposal Submission Times: BPA Year 1 Current solicitation period: November 8, 2005 December 9, 2005 July 1, 2006 July 15, 2006 BPA Year 2 January 1, 2007 January 15, 2007 July 1, 2007 July 15, 2007 BPA Year 3 January 1, 2008 January 15, 2008 July 1, 2008 July 15, 2008 BPA Year 4 January 1, 2009 January 15, 2009 July 1, 2009 July 15, 2009 BPA Year 5 January 1, 2010 January 15, 2010 July 1, 2010 July 15, 2010 The overall BPA performance period is expected to continue through January 2011.
