What ever happened to honesty and charity? Is there some reason your friend does not trust the co-worker? Is there some particular reason you might suspect he is a not telling you the truth?
If your state's laws alow Face To Face, and you know the person is a resident of your state (for handguns anyway), why not ask the guy? Have you every been convicted of a felony, do you have a Domestic violence conviction, restraining order, or have you ever been involuntarilly committed to a MH?
The co-worker answers "no", you sell them the firearm...your duty has been completed. To request a federal check says you don't trust the persons word, a waste of everyone's time and money...and at least for me, I would not look on that kindly.
Most of the firearms I own I obtained before there ever was a "FFL". What an insult to question the purchasers integrity like that.
