About this vehicle
The Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security awarded this Master IDIQ for armed personal protective, static guard, and team-based emergency response security services worldwide, with ordering closed as of February 21, 2021. This vehicle is no longer active; the ordering period ended more than five years ago and has been succeeded by Worldwide Protective Services III, awarded February 12, 2021.
WPS 2 established a $10.2 billion shared ceiling across 12 task orders issued between September 2016 and February 2021. Combined task-order potential value totals $4.53 billion, with $2.96 billion obligated (65% of combined potential). Ordering activity peaked in 2017 with six orders; subsequent years saw a single order each in 2018, 2019, and 2021. The vehicle focused exclusively on Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security requirements, with no other agencies placing orders.
All 12 task orders were awarded without set-aside designations to four prime contractors. Triple Canopy Inc. holds the largest share by value at $1.79 billion across three orders, followed by Gardaworld Federal Services LLC at $1.25 billion (three orders), SOC LLC at $1.11 billion (four orders), and Acuity - Janus Global, LLC at $373.7 million (two orders). The concentration reflects high barriers to entry for overseas protective services in high-threat regions.
Task orders funded security at U.S. embassies and consulates in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, South Sudan, and Israel. Pricing was predominantly time-and-materials; individual order ceilings ranged from approximately $56 million to $1.42 billion. The largest task order, Baghdad movement security services (SAQMMA16D0048-SAQMMA16F4675), carried a $1.42 billion ceiling with $648.2 million obligated. Most orders carried ultimate completion dates between 2020 and 2025, with some already closed.
BD professionals should evaluate pursuit under the successor vehicle, WPS III, rather than this closed ordering period.
