Task orders typically range from approximately $10,000 to over $3.5 million, with performance periods generally spanning from several months to one year, consistently terminating on September 30th of the relevant fiscal year. The delivery orders cover a wide range of security services, including armed and unarmed guard coverage, security patrols, access control support, and protective services for federal facilities such as the Pentagon Force Protection Agency, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and various Department of Health and Human Services locations. No small business set-aside designations were used in the awarded task orders, and performance locations were concentrated in the National Capital Region, specifically Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia.
