    RFI FINAL v20251209.pdf
    The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is seeking industry solutions for real-time access to nationwide secondary market data. This includes pawn and secondhand dealer transactions, online marketplace integration with NCIC, ecoATM device intake records, and scrap metal salvage yard reporting. The primary goal is to help ATF personnel identify the source of recovered crime guns, other secondary market items, or individuals involved in criminal investigations. The required system must allow authorized users to query firearm identifiers and relevant item information, perform investigative queries, link sales to merchants, include advanced search capabilities, and provide historical data access. The solution needs to support both ad hoc and bulk querying, with scalability for current and future investigative workloads. Sustainment requirements include ongoing training, software support, system updates, secure data hosting, and adherence to federal security and privacy standards. The system will only provide personally identifiable information (PII) to ATF for active, ongoing criminal investigations, limited to individuals who previously divested property ownership of a firearm, and will not include PII related to the purchaser of a firearm or provide PII in response to batch firearm trace queries. Vendors should describe system APIs or data exchange capabilities, including interfaces with NCIC records, wanted person notifications, or other law enforcement datasets to enhance investigative value.
