Redacted JA FY25-00151.pdf

This Justification and Approval (J&A) document supports a sole-source contract extension for Protective Security Officer (PSO) services with North American Security, Inc. The Department of Homeland Security's Federal Protective Service Acquisition Division (FPS AD) intends to extend the current contract 70RFP219DEC000010 for up to twelve months, from June 1, 2025, through May 31, 2026, at an estimated total value of $10,114,200. The extension will allow time to solicit, evaluate, and award a follow-on competitive contract while ensuring uninterrupted security services at multiple locations in College Park, Maryland within the National Capital Region.

The contract is an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) firm fixed-price arrangement, funded by Operations and Maintenance Funds for Fiscal Years 2025 and 2026. The extension is justified under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) as only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. The proposed rates were determined fair and reasonable based on comparisons with historical pricing, with slight increases to PSO and supervisory bill rates primarily resulting from mandatory service contract labor standards and collective bargaining agreement adjustments. The follow-on procurement is anticipated to be awarded by February 1, 2026, with a mandatory 120-day transition period to ensure continuous security coverage for government facilities, employees, and visitors.
