Urgent Immediate Requirement for Level 2 Armed Guards Lacy WA

FEMA is urgently soliciting Level II Armed Guard services in support of Disaster 4906-WA in Lacy, Washington, with services required to begin on Friday, May 1, 2026, at 6:30 a.m. The initial requirement calls for one guard post providing 24/7 coverage for approximately 14 days, though hours may adjust after initial setup and alarm installations are complete. The contract has a base period of 90 days from May 1 to July 30, 2026, and includes up to three optional 90-day periods extending through April 2027. Quotations must be submitted electronically by 9 a.m. Pacific Time on April 30, 2026, to designated FEMA email addresses, and must include a Unique Entity ID from SAM.gov, current business information, and confirmation of eligibility under small business categories including HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, and EDWOSB, with a NAICS code of 561612 and a $29 million annual receipts size standard. Evaluation will be based on a best-value trade-off approach favoring verified experience in Level II armed guard operations, particularly in disaster response, over price, which is defined as the hourly rate for one guard post per 12-hour shift. All personnel must be U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents with a favorable public trust suitability determination, and must meet stringent qualifications including two years of security or military experience, physical fitness for 12-hour shifts, and firearm proficiency. Contractors must provide fully burdened hourly rates, maintain comprehensive personnel files for six years post-performance, ensure all staff complete mandatory CUI, IT security, OPSEC, and unauthorized disclosure training, and comply with DHS and FEMA directives regarding access control, credentialing, and use of force. Each guard is limited to one assigned firearm, subject to strict inspection, maintenance, and reporting protocols for any discharge, loss, or theft. All contractors must adhere to FOB Destination delivery terms, provide equipment at their own expense, and ensure proper sanitization and return or destruction of Controlled Unclassified Information upon contract closure in accordance with NIST SP 800-88. Compliance with Section 508, the ADA, and federal management regulations is mandatory, and failure to maintain state or local licensing may result in termination for cause. Payment must be submitted electronically via Standard Form 103
