The Department of Homeland Security awarded an indefinite delivery contract with a potential value of $3.2 billion to Diversified Protection Corporation to provide armed guard services at federally leased or owned facilities across the United States and its territories. The multiple award contract consists of a single five-year ordering period through December 2028. Task orders will be issued under the contract on an as-needed basis to obtain armed protective security officer services, with Track 1 open to all contractors and Track 2 set aside for small businesses. The originating solicitation seeks to fulfill requirements for armed Federal Protective Service officers through multiple ID/IQ contracts. The contract aims to procure armed guard services at federal facilities to support the security mission of the Department of Homeland Security.
The solicitation is expected to be released on September 18, 2023, with proposals due for the provision of armed security guards and patrols. Contractors must register in the System for Award Management and monitor the Federal Business Opportunities website for details and amendments. Evaluation criteria will include technical and price factors, with the small business set-aside requiring no facility security clearance. The Federal Acquisition Regulation provisions governing indefinite-delivery contracts apply, allowing task orders to be competed among awardees as unique security requirements emerge throughout the five-year ordering period.
