Unarmed Uniformed Security Force (Protective Force Services)

The contract seeks unarmed, uniformed security guard services for the Argonne National Laboratory in Lemont, Illinois, and two additional off-site locations within 1.5 miles of the main facility, under solicitation number 6-P106-P-00104-00. These Protective Force services must comply with stringent standards set by the State of Illinois, including licensing requirements under 225ILCS447 and state-specific security contractor regulations, as well as all applicable U.S. Department of Energy directives, particularly DOE O 473.3A Protection Program Operations. The scope of work requires consistent, predictable, and reliable security operations conducted in eight-hour shifts with a paid thirty-minute lunch break on-site, and scheduling must, whenever possible, ensure employees receive two consecutive days off within each seven-day work period. All work must align with the Laboratory's Statement of Work, and schedules are required to be posted in accordance with laboratory guidelines. Personnel must hold proper security clearances and certifications, are strictly prohibited from disclosing classified or controlled information without authorization, and must receive training conducted by certified individuals in compliance with DOE regulations. The contract is bound by a collective bargaining agreement between Allied Universal Security Services and SPFPA Local 115, which governs wage rates, health and welfare contributions, and employment conditions, and all provisions must be applied in accordance with state and federal equal opportunity laws. Proposals must be submitted in a designated three-part format by the deadline of June 23, 2026, with offerors required to review the RFP letter, draft contract, and supporting documents included in the attached zip file to ensure full compliance with submission requirements. The NAICS code for this solicitation is 561612, and while no contract value or pricing structure is specified, the service locations are clearly confined to the Lemont site and its immediate vicinity.
