Is there a secret decoder ring? I don't know any of the background that would let me understand what this implies...

 

[Rumble]

It appears to be a $200,000 grant (?) or other type of award to fund research into the GCA, or outcomes of it. Funded by the BATF.

That could be anything.

At commercial rates, 1/4 million buys you a spiffy interactive and business integrated website, perhaps on the order of "NICS Online", for example.

At government rates, it buys you a spiffy interactive and business integrated website, perhaps on the forder of "NICS Online", that doesn't work.

Yawn.

Description
Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms is revising publication 5300.5, ?State Laws and Published Ordinances ? Firearms?. ATF is required by 27 CFR 178.24 to furnish all Federal firearms licensees with an updated copy of this publication annually. In addition, the guide is a critical part of the Bureau?s customer service efforts and is widely used by the industries subject to ATF regulation. In order to accomplish this task as expeditiously as possible, and in order to use a source with expert knowledge and experience but without any conflict of interest that might attend representing parties with interest adverse to the Bureau, this procurement is being undertaken on a sole-source basis. ATF intends to negotiate with the National Criminal Justice Association (NCJA), 444 North Capitol Street NW, Washington, DC, under 41 USC 253 (c) (1) ?Only One Responsible Source, for these services. Using legal data bases NCJA will identify amendments and new statutes or ordinances enacted during the most recently completed legislative sessions of all United States jurisdictions (including all of the states, American Samoa, District of Columbia, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands and major cities that make their laws readily accessible to the general public). This is a 100% Small Business set-aside using NAICS Code number 813410. The contract will be for one year with four one-year option periods. Interested parties should request a copy of solicitation BATF-0615 by e-mail to [email protected] or by fax to (202) 927-8688. Telephone request for a copy of the solicitation will not be honored. Please respond
