S -- GUARD SERVICES AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT BUCKS, CHESTER, DELAWARE, MONTGOMERY AND PHILADELPHIA COUNTIES IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA

The Department of Homeland Security's Federal Protective Services requires the continuation of armed and unarmed guard services across five counties in Pennsylvania: Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia. To maintain security operations without interruption, they will issue a Bridge Contract Modification extending the current contract for an additional five months, covering January 1 through May 31, 2006. This temporary extension ensures seamless service while the agency prepares to award a long-term follow-on contract. The upcoming contract solicitation is scheduled for release around January 16, 2006, and will be pursued via the General Services Administration’s Federal Supply Schedule, Multiple Award Schedule Contract. The solicitation, identified under number HSCEGI-06-R-F-00003, targets services classified under NAICS code 561612, which pertains to security guard and patrol services. The Department of Homeland Security’s FPS East CCG Division 1 Acquisition Division, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, oversees this requirement. This approach facilitates continued protection of federal facilities within the designated counties, maintaining safety and security standards pending the longer-term contract award.
