The Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency has awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) contract to ISS Action Inc., a certified 8(a) and woman-owned small business, to provide transportation and guard services. The $277.1 million BPA, which was not set aside for any specific business category, is structured against ISS Action's General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract for Law Enforcement & Security Services. Under this vehicle, ISS Action has been issued numerous task orders to fulfill requirements for armed and unarmed guard forces, secure inmate transportation, vehicle operations, and security screening across geographies including New York, Texas, and Virginia. This represents one of two major indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ) contracts ISS Action holds with DHS and the U.S. Marshals Service, demonstrating the company's ability to successfully compete for and execute on large-scale security services for federal agencies.
The original GSA MAS solicitation was issued to refresh the Law Enforcement & Security Services schedule, with updates to clauses, pricing requirements, and instructions for submitting offers. Interested vendors were required to have their Offeror Representations and Certifications updated in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to submitting proposals. The MAS contracts awarded under this solicitation are continuous with 5-year base periods and optional 5-year extensions, not to exceed a total of 20 years. No items under this solicitation were set aside for small businesses.
