3202700009 Security Guard Services

The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) is soliciting proposals under RFP 3202700009 to establish contracts for armed commissioned security guards and comprehensive security services across multiple TWC facilities. The selected contractor must maintain a business office within Texas to support continuous statewide operations and provide marked vehicles for roving patrols. Key requirements include the ability to deploy emergency armed and unarmed guards within two hours of notification for catastrophic events or natural disasters. The contract term begins upon execution and expires on November 1, 2027, with TWC holding the sole option to renew for three additional one-year terms. To qualify, respondents must have at least three years of business experience or relevant executive management experience within the last five years and hold a current Texas Class B or Class C Private Security Services Contractor license. Evaluation is based on best value, and TWC intends to award multiple contracts. A critical pass/fail requirement is the submission of a VetHUB Subcontracting Plan, with a specific TWC subcontracting goal of 6.50%. Performance is monitored through electronic verification trackers and Daily Activity Reports, with strict reporting timelines requiring urgent issues to be communicated within three minutes. Payments are processed electronically via the Texas Comptroller in accordance with the Texas Prompt Payment Act.
