The U.S. Department of State is seeking qualified contractors to provide Local Guard Services at the U.S. Mission in Paris, France, under solicitation number 19AQMM26R0025, with a final proposal submission deadline of May 14, 2026. The requirement calls for a contractor to establish and manage a security operation capable of preventing loss or injury to U.S. personnel and property, deterring unauthorized access, and mitigating potential terrorist threats. The contract includes one base year and four one-year options, all subject to government discretion. All personnel, regardless of nationality, must undergo dual background investigations—conducted by both the contractor and the U.S. Government—to ensure suitability for access to sensitive facilities. Compliance with 22 U.S.C. § 4864 grants preference to U.S. persons or U.S. joint ventures. Access to the solicitation is strictly controlled and requires completion of a Restricted Access Request form and a separate electronic request via SAM.gov, with the submitting point of contact’s full name matching exactly between the RAR form and SAM.gov registration. Site visits to the mission in Paris are permitted, limited to two representatives per firm, and may be conducted virtually or in person, with offerors responsible for all related costs. The contract is anticipated to be awarded based on the best technically acceptable proposal at the lowest evaluated price. The solicitation has undergone seven amendments since its initial posting, extending the proposal deadline multiple times and issuing revised exhibits including D, N, P, Q, and S, along with cumulative Q&A responses. No pricing data, contract clauses, evaluation factors, or detailed performance specifications are included in the available materials, implying these are contained within restricted exhibits accessible only after successful access request approval.
