The purpose of this Market Survey/Request for Information is to survey the marketplace to assess the level of interest and capabilities among qualified providers of the required services, as well as whether adequate competition exists to set-aside for small business. 2. Description of the Required Services There is a need for security officer services in order to provide physical security safeguards for FAA employees, facilities, and United States Government property and assets from loss, theft, damage, unauthorized use, criminal acts, espionage, sabotage, and terrorism in the FAA NSOP geographical Central Region Service Area in accordance with the attached Attachment A. Draft Statement of Work (SOW). This service area includes locations within the continental United States as depicted in Attachment B. NSOP Central Service Area Detail. This attachment identifies the states that will require security officer services. In order to make this determination, the FAA requires the following information from interested businesses. CAPABILITY STATEMENT: The Contractor's primary business must be providing contract security officer services, including unarmed and armed security officers (SOs). The Contractor must have at least five (5) years of documented experience in providing armed contract SO services.
