The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Environment, Health, Safety and Security is forecasting a contract opportunity to engage a contractor for developing and implementing comprehensive safeguards and security programs designed to protect national security and other critical national assets under DOE’s stewardship. The work will focus on providing robust security support services tailored to the unique needs of DOE’s high-security environments, with an emphasis on preventing unauthorized access, detecting threats, and ensuring the integrity of sensitive materials and facilities. The contract is targeted toward small businesses, as indicated by the type of set-aside designation, and falls under NAICS code 541620 for management, scientific, and technical consulting services. Performance is expected to be primarily based in the District of Columbia, though the specific location may vary depending on operational requirements. The procurement is managed by the Office of the Associate Under Secretary for Security Support Services, with Sara Stoops and Jessy Abellard serving as point of contact for small business program inquiries. The forecast was posted on August 10, 2026, and while no solicitation number has been issued yet, it signals an upcoming acquisition initiative within the federal security infrastructure. Interested small businesses are encouraged to prepare proposals that demonstrate expertise in designing and executing security programs aligned with federal standards for classified and sensitive operations. This opportunity reflects DOE’s ongoing commitment to maintaining the highest levels of protection for its physical, cyber, and personnel security infrastructure.
