The objective of this RFI is to engage with industry in search of a potential strategic partner to provide technical/project management support services.

MISSION BACKGROUND:

The United States Secret Service (USSS) Office of Technical Development and Applied Research (TEC) is seeking supplemental support to address mission-critical requirements associated with ongoing and future construction at the White House Complex and other protected sites in the National Capital Region (NCR). As construction activities take place within the White House complex and other NCR sites, the USSS must ensure that the protective equipment, materials, and infrastructure necessary to fulfill its protective mission are fully supported and integrated into evolving construction projects.

These construction efforts introduce significant logistical, coordination, and planning demands that require specialized support across technical, logistical, and financial disciplines to ensure all protective measures are effectively aligned with both current and future requirements. The complexity of integrating protective equipment and materials into construction projects, while maintaining operational readiness and adhering to strict security protocols, underscores the need for additional resources.

While this effort does not involve performing actual construction activities, it will require close coordination with ongoing construction projects to meet critical deadlines, address logistical challenges, and minimize disruptions to operations. Personnel with relevant backgrounds in areas such as construction management, infrastructure planning, and financial oversight will play a key role in navigating technical, logistical, and financial requirements while ensuring compliance with the agency’s stringent security protocols and operational standards.

In addition to addressing current construction plans, this requirement will also support future efforts to ensure the continued alignment of protective measures with future requirements for the White House Complex and NCR sites. Due to the sensitive nature of this work, TOP SECRET security clearances, which will require any vendor to have a TOP SECRET Facility Security Clearance, are required for all personnel involved to ensure compliance with access restrictions and confidentiality requirements. This level of clearance is critical to safeguarding the integrity of the agency’s operations and ensuring the seamless integration of protective equipment, materials, and infrastructure into the updated facilities.

MISSION NEEDS/REQUIREMENTS:

To address the mission-critical requirements associated with ongoing and future White House construction efforts, USSS/TEC is seeking support across the following labor categories. Any numbers of personnel associated with these roles are estimated and provided to help firms understand the magnitude and scope of this requirement. Personnel in these roles will play a vital part in ensuring the seamless integration of protective equipment, materials, and infrastructure into the evolving environment while maintaining compliance with the agency’s stringent security protocols and operational standards.
