Section C - Description/Specifications/Statement of Work
Statement of Work – National Special Security Events (NSSEs)
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
A. Title of Project / Identification of the Requirement
National Special Security Events (NSSEs) Perimeter Security Assets and Services.
B. Background
The United States Secret Service (USSS) provides protection to the President, Vice President, their families, foreign dignitaries, former presidents and spouses, major presidential and vice presidential candidates, as well as, other individuals.
Additionally, the USSS is the lead coordinating agency for the security operations of NSSEs. The Secretary of Homeland Security designates events as NSSEs after considering various attributes including the size and duration of the event, number of attendees, significance of the event, and/or potential threats.
In its role as lead coordinating agency for NSSEs, the USSS is responsible for working with local, state, and federal partners to develop and implement operational security plans to ensure the safety of event attendees and the local community.
Given the increasing threat of attacks on major events, it is critical that the USSS has access to the latest physical security perimeter materials and technology to ensure the safety and security of protectees, event attendees and the broader public.
C. Scope / Purpose & Objective
The overarching objectives of the support described in this Statement of Work (SOW) are to:
Facilitate the planning, acquisition and coordination of various types of temporary security perimeter solutions.
Ensure that security operations supporting the range of protective missions described above are executed on schedule, within budget, and in accordance with technical requirements.
The contractor shall provide temporary perimeter security assets, coordinate set-up, break down, and transportation of various perimeter security assets. Additionally, the contractor shall provide technical consultation services and recommendations on state of the art security equipment during the planning period for an event. The planning period for NSSEs may begin months in advance of execution of the event.
The contractor must have the capability, capacity, and proven experience to successfully interpret, implement, and integrate temporary law enforcement event physical security resource requirements, timelines and planning sequences in support of designated venue requirements. The contractor must also be aware of, and establish rapport with, local (city/state) labor unions to increase the likelihood of securing appropriately credentialed/certified craftsmen capable of executing security operations requirements, often on short, critical, time-sensitive timelines.
The temporary perimeter security assets and comprehensive security coordination services, as required, shall achieve the following for major event venues and surrounding event zones:
Prevent unauthorized individual access Prevent unauthorized vehicle access, including heavy equipment trucks Facilitate crowd control
Secure and support controlled screening areas
NSSEs may include up to hundreds of thousands of attendees. In any given year, there may be between two and five NSSEs at different times in the year and occurring in different locations across the country. These are considered large-scale, of high significance, and require significant quantities of, and a wide variety of, perimeter security assets. These events also require substantial coordination services along with technical consultation. Example events include:
Presidential Nomination Conventions (Republican and Democratic Conventions) International Summits (hosted domestically) Presidential Inaugurations State Funerals
D. Security Requirements
The clearance level for this contract is unclassified. However, all personnel working under this contract must be U.S. citizens. This includes both the prime and subcontracted personnel.

The USSS Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) or their USSS designee is responsible for determining the contract employee’s position description level as being either Non-Sensitive, Low Risk, Moderate Risk, or High Risk. The COR or their designee will also make the determination when contract employees require access to USSS controlled Information Technology systems, unless otherwise stipulated within the Statement of Work.
The contractor shall submit to the COR the following completed documentation for each contract employee requiring access to USSS’s controlled access facilities, in order to satisfy initial and/or recurring (as requested by the COR) Suitability Assessments:
