About this file
This Sources Sought document is a comprehensive questionnaire for potential security guard service providers seeking to support FEMA's Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for Armed Protective Security Officers during disaster response scenarios. The document requests detailed information from potential contractors regarding their capability to deploy licensed, armed guards within 24-48 hours across CONUS and OCONUS locations, including all 50 states and several U.S. territories. Key evaluation areas include guard deployment capabilities, personnel qualifications, training programs, operational support technologies, compliance with regulations, and insurance coverage.
The associated federal contract opportunity requires a vendor capable of providing 35 armed security guards within 24-48 hours of a CALL under the BPA, specifically for disaster-related sites following a major disaster declaration. Contractors must exclusively utilize Department of Labor category 27102 Guard II security personnel who meet all local and state qualification requirements. The solicitation targets security service providers with extensive geographic coverage, robust personnel vetting processes, rapid deployment capabilities, and the flexibility to support emergency response missions across multiple states and territories.
