DOS Construction IDIQ 2015-2016

The Department of State Construction Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract from 2015-2016 is a multiple-award contract vehicle designed to provide comprehensive construction security and monitoring services for diplomatic facilities worldwide. The contract enables the Bureau of Overseas Building Operations to rapidly deploy security personnel and technical specialists to support construction, renovation, and maintenance projects at U.S. diplomatic missions globally. These services typically include site security coordination, construction surveillance, guard services, and other protective measures essential to ensuring the safety and security of ongoing construction projects in potentially complex international environments.

The task orders under this IDIQ consistently demonstrate a focus on providing skilled security personnel across diverse global locations, with contract values ranging from approximately $50,000 to over $16 million. Three primary prime contractors consistently win task orders: Nve, Inc. (a woman-owned small business), Ids International, LLC (doing business as Deco Security Services), and Triple Canopy, Inc. Common task order compositions include one team leader, multiple construction administrative guards (CAGs), and construction surveillance technicians (CSTs), typically deployed for periods ranging from several months to three years. The places of performance are predominantly diplomatic facilities in countries across multiple continents, including locations in Mexico, India, Turkey, Lebanon, and many others. Notably, none of the task orders utilized specific small business set-aside designations, and they were awarded on an unrestricted basis with labor hours or firm fixed-price pricing structures.
