S -- Personal Services Contract Guards

This contract seeks qualified individuals for personal services as guards, specifically requiring applicants to be U.S. citizens residing within the United States or its territories, at least 21 years old, and proficient in English. Candidates must demonstrate proficiency in firearms according to the standards of the U.S. Marshals Service and have a minimum of one year of recent experience—acquired within the past five years—in law enforcement or security roles related to prisoner handling and detention. Acceptable backgrounds include active, retired, or former state or local law enforcement officers, correctional officers, federal law enforcement officers, or military police/noncommissioned officers experienced in detainee guard duties. Experience solely as a private security guard is generally not acceptable unless it involves at least three years of detainee guard duties with accredited training. Academic training cannot replace practical experience. Interested applicants who meet these stringent criteria are directed to contact Supervisory Aviation Enforcement Officer Jeff Clark for an application package. The contract is classified under NAICS code 561612 and was posted on August 9, 2005. It is a sources-sought notice, indicating a preliminary phase to identify potential qualified personnel for personal services contract guards. The administrative point of contact for inquiries is John H. Wichmann, reachable via email or phone. The opportunity targets individuals with recent, relevant law enforcement or detention experience to fulfill duties likely connected with security and prisoner management within U.S. federal operations.
