Armed Protective Security Officers for Western Washington.

The Department of Homeland Security is forecasting a requirement for armed protective security officers to provide security services in the Western Washington region, primarily centered around the Seattle-Tacoma area. The contract is classified under NAICS code 561612, which pertains to security services for personnel and facilities, and is intended to support the agency’s operational security needs in a high-traffic, high-risk urban corridor. The solicitation is currently in a forecast stage, meaning it is a preliminary notice to potential vendors before formal bidding commences, and no specific set-aside provisions have been designated for small businesses or other categories at this time. Cheryl Domingo is the designated point of contact for inquiries regarding this requirement, reachable via email or phone, and is responsible for coordination and clarification of anticipated security roles and performance expectations. For matters related to small business participation, Geoff Seay serves as the Small Business Specialist and APFS Coordinator, providing guidance to potential contractors on engagement opportunities and compliance. The place of performance is clearly defined as the Seattle-Tacoma metropolitan area within Washington State, and while the exact locations of duty stations have not been specified, services are expected to cover federal facilities and critical infrastructure within this geographic region. Vendors interested in this opportunity should monitor official channels for subsequent formal solicitations and prepare to demonstrate experience in armed security operations, personnel training, and compliance with federal security protocols.
