Armed Security Personnel Deployment – Urban Justice Facilities

The Government of Jamaica, through the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, is seeking qualified subcontractors to provide armed security personnel for high-risk urban justice facilities in Kingston, Montego Bay, and Spanish Town, including courthouses and detention centers. The primary responsibilities of the security team encompass access control, threat deterrence, and rapid emergency response to ensure the safety and integrity of judicial operations and the individuals within these facilities. The contract requires personnel to be trained, vetted, and equipped to operate in volatile environments, with strict adherence to established protocols and government standards. Interested parties must submit their proposals by August 31, 2026, with the solicitation issued under NAICS code 561612, which classifies security services for government facilities. The solicitation does not specify a set-aside category and is structured as a subcontract opportunity, indicating that prime contractors may be involved in the procurement chain. All performance activities must occur at the designated justice facilities in the three cities, and while no point of contact is listed, the official portal for submission and further details is accessible via the Jamaica Electronic Procurement System. Bidders are expected to demonstrate proven experience in armed security operations within institutional settings and compliance with national security regulations.
