Technical Security Systems Installation Services

The Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations awarded a Master IDIQ on November 29, 2018, for installation of technical security systems—including alarm, door control, CCTV, public access, x-ray, metal detection, explosive detection, and intercom systems—at Department of State diplomatic missions, embassies, and consulates worldwide. The vehicle's ordering period closed on November 27, 2023, making it inactive for new task orders as of today.

The Master IDIQ was established as a total small business set-aside with a shared ceiling of $25 million and an original performance period of one base year plus four one-year option periods. The solicitation intended to award three or more contracts to responsible small business offerors at best value. All awardees were required to hold Defense Security Service facility clearances at Secret level or higher with Secret safeguarding capability under NISPOM.

Since ordering closed nearly two-and-a-half years ago, the vehicle is no longer open for new task orders. The 58 task orders awarded through June 2025 reflect ordering activity that has concluded. The portfolio obligated $5.8 million of the $6.1 million combined potential value (96%), leaving minimal room and no active ordering window.

Applied Security Technologies Inc. dominates the vehicle with 28 task orders valued at $3.8 million in combined potential value, followed by Usmax Corporation with 18 orders and $1.6 million, and Venesco Construction Management LLC with 7 orders and $469 thousand. Professional Technologies Group and Orion Management account for the remaining five orders. All 58 task orders funded a single customer: the Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations.

Set-aside treatment split unevenly: 49 orders (84%) were unrestricted, while 9 orders (16%) carried the total small business set-aside designation. Task-order values ranged from under $1,000 to $1.13 million, with firm fixed price pricing. Orders span diplomatic compound installations worldwide, including recent work in Trinidad, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and historical installations in Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific regions. Performance of work occurred at each diplomatic mission location where systems were installed.

This vehicle is closed to new awards and pursuits.
