This Justification and Approval (J&A) document details a contract extension for Protective Security Officer (PSO) services by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Office of Procurement Operations, Federal Protective Service. The extension is for Patronus Systems, Inc. to continue providing armed PSO services throughout the State of Kentucky from January 01, 2026 through February 28, 2026, under Contract 70RFP119DE4000001. The two-month modification will allow for a seamless transition period and ensure uninterrupted security services at federal facilities, with the current contract set to expire on December 31, 2025.

The contract is an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) type with a firm fixed price, funded by Operations and Support Funds for Fiscal Year 2026. The extension is being justified under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) as only one responsible source can satisfy the agency's requirements. The contracting officer determined the proposed pricing to be fair and reasonable based on historical pricing comparisons. The extension is critical to maintaining security at federal facilities, with Patronus Systems having demonstrated satisfactory performance and being the only vendor capable of providing PSO services in Kentucky without causing unacceptable delays or potential safety risks to government employees, facilities, and visitors.
