CENTCOM Security Support Services

The CENTCOM Security Support Services Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a multiple-award vehicle designed to provide comprehensive security support services globally, with a primary focus on areas of armed conflict, post-conflict, and comparable situations where traditional military or U.S. government security forces are unavailable or inappropriate. The contract supports relief protection, recovery, and reconstruction activities by addressing threats such as theft, extortion, vandalism, terrorism, and other unlawful violence. Established with a shared ceiling of $3,996,000,000 and originally awarded on November 7, 2018, the contract enables rapid deployment of private security services across diverse operational environments.

The task orders under this IDIQ predominantly involve armed security guard services, protective security personnel, and logistical support in regions like Afghanistan, Kuwait, and Somalia. Prime contractors including GardaWorld Federal Services, Triple Canopy Inc., and SOC LLC have been awarded task orders ranging from approximately $780,000 to $388 million, with performance periods typically spanning several months to multiple years. Most task orders are firm fixed-price contracts without specific small business set-aside designations, funded primarily by the Department of Army Central Command and supporting various military operations such as Joint Task Force security, embassy protection, and forward operating base security. The contract vehicle has been particularly active in providing security services for U.S. military installations, diplomatic facilities, and contingency operations in complex international environments.
