Purchase Order 36C25222P0419

Guard Force Inc., doing business as Guard Force International, was awarded a $2.84M firm fixed price purchase order by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 for unarmed security services at the Fargo-Grand Forks VA Medical Center (FHCC VAMC) and Community-Based Outpatient Clinics in North Chicago, Illinois and surrounding areas in Wisconsin. This represents the fourth renewal of the ongoing service contract, with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2027. The contract is set aside for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, reflecting VA policy to support veteran-owned enterprises. Guard Force Inc., itself a service-disabled veteran-owned small business, specializes in providing comprehensive security solutions to VA facilities nationwide, including unarmed guard services, entrance control, and security system monitoring.

The underlying solicitation, issued by the Great Lakes Acquisition Center in December 2021, sought security guard services at multiple VA locations across Illinois and Wisconsin, including the North Chicago VAMC and outpatient clinics in McHenry, Evanston, and Kenosha. Guard Force Inc.'s selection for this contract builds upon its substantial history of security service delivery to the Veterans Health Administration, including multiple prior awards valued between $1.9M and $6.3M at various VISN regions. The company's performance under this renewal demonstrates the VA's confidence in its capabilities to maintain security operations at these critical healthcare facilities serving the veteran population.
