R -- Guard support services

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Federal Protective Service, is seeking to contract Security Guard Services across multiple locations in Washington D.C. The contract requires comprehensive provision and management of security personnel and related services on a continuous 24/7 basis. This includes supplying trained and managed security guards, all necessary uniforms, equipment, communication devices, vehicles, weapons, and requisite administrative materials such as licenses, permits, insurance, background checks, reports, and records. The contract aims to ensure full coverage and readiness for security operations at the designated sites. This acquisition will be awarded as a multiple award, small business set-aside contract, using a competitive fixed price or fixed rate structure with an initial one-year base period and up to four one-year option periods. The solicitation, categorized under NAICS Code 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), was scheduled to be published mid-March 2006, with a pre-proposal conference planned for late March of the same year. Interested small businesses must access the solicitation online and can address procurement questions to designated contacts provided by ICE. This approach emphasizes support for small businesses while fulfilling the DHS’s ongoing security service needs in the Washington, D.C. area.
