Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives's contract dollars, traced to the source.

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives · Department of Justice

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is the Department of Justice law-enforcement component that regulates the firearms and explosives industries and investigates violent crime, arson, and firearms trafficking. Its ~$0.32B in FY2025 contract obligations are dominated by IT and mission-support services rather than hardware: the largest awards are Leidos' ESA V managed IT services, Eagle Harbor's technical & operational support and data-entry/imaging/IT services, plus guard services for ATF headquarters and the Beltsville national lab and asset-forfeiture & investigative support. In short, the spend is a services book — managed IT, records/data operations, and physical security & investigative support.

What this monitor reads — and what it doesn't

This is the contract-signal tier: the live USAspending award feed for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Acquisition and Property Management Division awarding sub-agency. It shows where ATF's procurement dollars go — obligations over time and the largest awards — not total budget authority, which also includes payroll, grants, and transfers. Figures reflect the FY2025 contract (procurement) slice reported to USAspending.gov, not ATF's total budget authority or appropriations. The appropriation-level view lives on the Department of Justice monitor.
