Emergency Security Services for PR and USVI

The Master Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for Emergency Security Services for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, administered by the Department of Homeland Security's National Protection and Programs Directorate, provides comprehensive security services in response to hurricane disaster recovery efforts. The contract vehicle supports emergency protective security operations across both territories, enabling rapid deployment of security personnel to support critical infrastructure, government facilities, and disaster response zones. Task orders under this BPA primarily focus on providing armed and unarmed security officers to protect assets and personnel during emergency and recovery scenarios.

The task orders reflect a diverse set of security service requirements, with contract values ranging from approximately $266,279 to $47,733,217, and typical performance periods spanning several months to a year. Prime contractors consistently include minority-owned businesses such as Ranger American of Puerto Rico, Ranger American of V.I. Inc., G4S Secure Solutions, One Corps Inc., and Falken Industries LLC. All task orders were firm fixed-price contracts without specific small business set-aside designations, indicating open competition. The contracts consistently support Department of Homeland Security missions, particularly for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) divisions, with a primary focus on providing protective security services throughout Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria in 2017.
