Worldwide Protective Services 2 (WPS-2)

The Worldwide Protective Services 2 (WPS-2) is a Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle awarded by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Diplomatic Security to provide comprehensive armed protective, static guard, and emergency response security services worldwide. The contract primarily focuses on meeting security requirements for diplomatic missions in high-threat areas, replacing the original WPS contract. With a shared ceiling of $10.2 billion, the vehicle enables the rapid procurement of protective services across multiple global locations, emphasizing flexibility and immediate responsiveness to diplomatic security needs.

The task orders under WPS-2 consistently demonstrate a pattern of large-scale, time and materials or firm-fixed-price contracts supporting U.S. diplomatic facilities in complex international environments. Prime contractors including GardaWorld Federal Services, Triple Canopy Inc., Acuity - Janus Global, and SOC LLC have been awarded significant delivery orders ranging from $56 million to over $1.5 billion, with performance periods typically spanning 2-5 years. These contracts cover critical security operations in locations such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Central African Republic, Jerusalem, and South Sudan, with no standard set-aside designations. The Bureau of Diplomatic Security remains the primary funding agency, focusing on providing armed protective services, static guard coverage, emergency response capabilities, and integrated security solutions for U.S. diplomatic missions in high-risk regions.
