Armed Protective Security Officer Services

The Department of Homeland Security Office of Procurement Operations established this Master IDIQ for armed protective security officer services at federally leased or owned facilities throughout the United States and territories, with ordering authority extending through August 31, 2030. The vehicle is structured as a two-track award: Track 1 unrestricted and Track 2 set-aside for small business, each with a five-year ordering period and firm fixed-price delivery orders issued under FAR 16.505.

Ordering momentum is accelerating. The vehicle has generated 47 task orders since its April 2024 inception, with awards rising from 8 orders in 2024 to 12 in 2025 to 27 in 2026, the most recent issued in November 2026. The combined task-order potential value stands at $4.33 billion against $564.7 million obligated (13% of combined potential). Task-order ceilings range widely—from under $50 million to over $400 million—reflecting geographic and facility-specific scope variation. Recent representative orders include $401.7 million for southern border protection, $267.3 million for Northern California, $247.9 million for North Texas, and $226.8 million for the New York metropolitan area, each firm fixed-price and typically spanning two to five years of performance.

Universal Protection Service, LIMITED Partnership dominates the awardee base, holding 14 orders valued at $1.69 billion combined potential (39% of the vehicle total). Triple Canopy Inc., Golden Svcs, LLC, First Coast Security Solutions, Inc., and American Eagle Protective Services Corp collectively hold the next tier, with the top five primes capturing 83% of combined potential value. The remaining 11 primes split the long tail broadly.

All 47 task orders are for DHS use; no other customer agencies are present. Seventy-nine percent of orders carry no set-aside designation, with small-business orders comprising 15% of the portfolio (7 competitive or sole-source awards), a single woman-owned small business award (2%), and two competitive 8(a) orders (4%).

Performance is nationwide and territorially distributed, with active orders covering every region from Alaska and Hawaii to Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, plus substantial presence in Washington DC, the Northeast, mid-Atlantic, and southwestern border states. NAICS code 561612 applies; the small-business size standard is $29 million.
