PSO Services throughout Northern New Jersey

The Federal Protective Service, under the Department of Homeland Security, is continuing armed Protective Security Officer (PSO) services across multiple federal facilities in Northern New Jersey through a sole-source contract extension awarded to Paragon Systems, Inc., under FAR 6.302-1, which permits non-competitive procurement when only one responsible source exists. The contract, identified by solicitation number JAFY26089, begins performance on June 1, 2026, as a one-month extension of an existing Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) agreement, ensuring uninterrupted security operations during the transition to a future competitive acquisition. The primary place of performance is Trenton, New Jersey, with services delivered at various locations throughout Northern New Jersey, and the contracting office is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The work falls under NAICS code 561612 for Security Guards and Patrol Services, with a small business size standard of $29 million in annual receipts, though no socioeconomic certifications or size status for the contractor are disclosed. The procurement is justified solely on the grounds that Paragon Systems, Inc. is the only entity capable of providing the specialized armed PSO services required without disruption. No competitive evaluation factors, pricing data, contract value, or detailed performance metrics are available, and no specifications for packaging, inspection criteria, invoicing methods, payment instructions, or contract administration personnel such as CORs or PCOs are provided. The government retains oversight responsibility for service acceptance at the operational sites, but formal inspection standards, quality benchmarks, or reporting requirements are not outlined. All documentation references a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition posted to SAM.gov, yet no attachments or detailed clauses from Sections I, J, K, or H are included in the available materials.
