Armed Contract Security (CS) Personnel Services

The contract seeks qualified providers to supply armed security personnel capable of protecting vessels and cargo during transit by adhering strictly to Department of Defense protocols. These personnel must be trained and certified on assigned firearms and prepared to operate in high-risk maritime environments, ensuring the safety and integrity of military or government assets throughout their journey. The service is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 561612, indicating a focus on private security services, and is tied to the Department of Defense’s Norfolk-based operations. The solicitation was posted on April 29, 2026, with responses due no later than May 4, 2026, at 6:00 PM, indicating a tight turnaround timeframe for interested parties to submit proposals. There is no defined set-aside type specified, meaning the opportunity is open to all eligible contractors regardless of size or designation. While the precise location of performance is not detailed, the operational context clearly implies maritime transit routes under DoD jurisdiction. The lack of a point of contact or detailed office address suggests coordination will be handled through established DoD procedural channels, and bidders are expected to reference the official Sam.gov listing for further logistical or technical requirements.
