Pyrotechnics

Summary (Newest Update)

Background The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is a law enforcement organization responsible for reducing violent crime, collecting revenue, and protecting the public. ATF enforces federal laws and regulations related to alcohol, tobacco, firearms, explosives, and arson by collaborating with other government agencies. This contract aims to procure pyrotechnic items to support the Advanced Explosives Disposal Techniques (AEDT) training program. Work Details ATF requires the purchase of commercial fireworks classified as Hazard Class 1.3G for shipping and transportation purposes. The specific dimensions of these items are critical for safe training exercises and counter-charge calculations. Alternative sizes or configurations would necessitate reconfiguration of training evolutions to comply with safety requirements. The procurement includes the following items: - CLIN 1: 40mm Roman Candles - 250 EA - CLIN 2: 100/150 Shot Variety Crossette Cake - 100 EA - CLIN 3: 3" Assorted Shells - 576 EA - CLIN 4: 4" Assorted Shells - 900 EA - CLIN 5: Electric matches - 900 EA - CLIN 6: Delivery - 1 EA Period of Performance The geographic location(s) the product will be delivered to or performed at Bidder Requirements This procurement is a total small business set-aside and will be awarded as a single-award Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP). Contractors must provide a firm-fixed price quote and complete technical evaluation. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on prior award 15A00024PAQA00193, awarded to Pyro Shows for “PYROTECHNICS” in the amount of $24,074 (07/23/24–10/22/24). The current requirement is also for commercial pyrotechnic items (Hazard Class 1.3G) used to support ATF’s AEDT training program, with emphasis on specific item dimensions for safe execution and counter-charge calculations. The matching “Pyrotechnics” scope and ATF training use suggest the prior work is a continuation of the same type of procurement.
