Protective Security Officer Services
The Department of Homeland Security's Federal Protective Service Acquisitions Division is seeking to procure protective security officer services through a sole source contract extension with the incumbent contractor. The agency intends to extend the current indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract 70RFP218DEC000002 for up to two months to provide continued armed protective security services at two federal facilities (DC1476 and DC1477) in the Washington, DC area. This extension is justified under FAR 6.302-1 as "only one responsible source" since the incumbent contractor is familiar with the facility locations and fully qualified to provide uninterrupted security services. The procurement falls under NAICS code 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services) with a small business size standard of $29 million. The extension period is scheduled to run from August 1, 2025, through September 30, 2025, allowing time for the government to complete the competitive follow-on procurement process and conduct a smooth 30-day transition to the new contractor.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and will be awarded on a sole source basis to Paragon Systems, Inc., located at 13900 Lincoln Park Drive, Suite 300, Herndon, VA 20171, which is the current incumbent contractor. The total estimated value for the two-month extension is $514,983.96, covering protective security officer services at the two Washington, DC area facilities. The extension became necessary due to procurement delays caused by required revisions in operational priorities, realignment of sites, and additional review processes that prevented the timely completion of the competitive follow-on solicitation. The government will post a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition to beta.sam.gov following the contract award. This extension ensures continuous security coverage at federal facilities during the transition period, maintaining the safety of government employees, facilities, and visitors while the new competitive procurement is finalized.
