CENTCOM Security Support Services

The Department of the Army Central Command established this Master IDIQ on November 7, 2018, to provide private security services in support of peace and stability initiatives in areas of armed conflict, post-conflict, and comparable situations where military or other U.S. Government security forces are unavailable, insufficient, or inappropriate. The ordering period closed on November 5, 2023, and the vehicle is no longer accepting new task orders.

This IDIQ is effectively closed to new business. The most recent task-order award occurred on April 14, 2024, nearly two years ago, and represents an administrative modification rather than new work. Ordering momentum peaked in 2020 with eight task orders, then declined sharply to one order in 2023 and one in 2024. Of the combined potential value of $636.5 million across 21 task orders, $437 million (69 percent) has already been obligated, leaving limited remaining value to pursue. Outstanding task orders are winding down; only two have completion dates beyond mid-2026.

The vehicle funds private security guard services, armed security details at forward operating bases and military installations, and entry control point operations across multiple locations in Afghanistan, Somalia, Kuwait, and other CENTCOM-area countries. Task orders range from short-duration extensions lasting 100–150 days to multi-year engagements, with individual ceilings typically between $1 million and $57 million.

Competition is highly concentrated. Triple Canopy Inc. holds eight orders worth $467 million combined potential value—73 percent of all vehicle activity by value. Gardaworld Federal Services LLC holds nine orders but with a combined potential value of only $154.5 million. Reed International Inc., Acuity – Janus Global LLC, and SOC LLC account for the remaining $15.1 million combined. All 21 task orders are unrestricted with no set-aside designations.

Demand is concentrated within Army Central Command, which funds 18 of 21 orders and accounts for $563.7 million of the $636.5 million combined potential value. The Department of the Navy and Department of the Army Southern Command account for the remaining $72.9 million across two orders. Pursuit of this vehicle is not viable for new business development; it remains relevant only for existing awardees managing performance and closeout on remaining orders.

The CENTCOM Security Support Services IDIQ supports peace and stability initiatives in areas of armed conflict, post conflict, and comparable situations. Where Military or other U.S. Government (USG) security forces are unavailable, insufficient, or inappropriate, contractors provide relief protection, recovery, and reconstruction activities from theft, extortion, vandalism, terrorism, and other unlawful violence.
