The U.S. Department of State awarded a $290 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) known as the Worldwide Protective Services III (WPS III) contract to provide global protective security services. The prime contractor, SOC LLC, is a subsidiary of The Day & Zimmermann Group Inc. that delivers a range of services including armed protective services, guard services, and emergency response support in high-risk environments worldwide.
Under the WPS III IDC, SOC received two task orders: a $137 million fixed-price order to provide protective services in Qatar through 2029, and a $206 million fixed-price level of effort order to support security at the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem through 2032. The original solicitation sought contractors with extensive experience delivering all three types of protective services - armed personal protective, static guard, and team-based emergency response - valued at over $10 million annually across multiple overseas locations. The WPS III contract aims to meet the State Department's global security requirements, with no socioeconomic set-asides utilized.
