This Limited Sources Justification (LSJ) document details a bridge Federal Supply Schedule Task Order (FSS-TO) for armed security guard services at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The current contract with Centerra Group, LLC will provide security services at USPTO facilities in Alexandria, VA and San Jose, CA from August 15, 2025 through December 14, 2025, with an optional 60-day extension through February 14, 2026. The bridge contract is urgent and necessary to maintain critical security services while USPTO develops a long-term replacement contract.

The sole-source bridge contract will be awarded to Centerra Group, LLC under their existing FSS Contract #47QSWA23D008F, with a UEI of H4H3J7SJC176. Centerra has previously held the physical security contract for USPTO since 2019 and has established staffing, procedures, and protocols. The justification emphasizes that any alternative contractor would require a lengthy transition period that could put agency assets at risk. The bridge contract is crucial for protecting USPTO employees, property, intellectual property, and physical assets, and is being pursued as an urgent and compelling need to ensure continuous security services.
