Armed Protective Security Services - IRS Campus in Austin, TX

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, through the Federal Protective Service’s Acquisition Division, intends to extend the ordering period of an existing indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract with Bradley Technologies, Inc. to secure armed protective security officer services at the IRS campus in Austin, Texas, from July 1, 2026, through October 31, 2026. This non-competitive action, authorized under FAR 6.103-1 due to the absence of any other responsible source capable of providing uninterrupted security, is necessary to bridge the gap until the follow-on competitively awarded contract can be fully transitioned. The extension ensures continuous, mission-critical security operations without disruption, leveraging the incumbent contractor’s proven performance, established personnel, and full familiarity with federal facility protocols, which together mitigate unacceptable risks associated with a new contractor’s inability to meet the June 30, 2026, deadline. A mandatory 120-day transition period preceding the follow-on contract’s start on November 1, 2026, is built into the timeline to accommodate extensive background checks, state licensing, medical evaluations, training, and equipment acquisition for the successor workforce. The contract is a firm fixed price, IDIQ arrangement, governed under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and DHS’s statutory responsibilities under 40 U.S.C. §1315, with operations aligned to Federal Protective Service standards and national security directives. All services will be delivered exclusively at the IRS campus in Austin, Texas, with performance monitored through Contractor Performance Assessment Reports, and no formal inspection or packaging requirements are specified due to the service-based nature of the work. Pricing has been determined fair and reasonable through government analysis but was not competitively derived, and while the contract’s total monetary value is not disclosed, funding will be drawn from FY2026 operations and support appropriations. The procurement was posted on SAM.gov on May 19, 2026, with a response deadline of June 30, 2026, and the sole point of contact is Adam L. Reynoso of the FPS East CCG Division 4 Acquisition Division in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, overseeing the process. No socioeconomic certifications, representational statements, or clause-specific obligations were included in the documentation, as the acquisition falls exclusively under the sole-source exception for continuity of critical services.
