About this opportunity
The Department of Homeland Security's Federal Protective Service has issued a sole source justification to extend the current contract with North American Security, Inc. for armed Protective Security Officer (PSO) services throughout Arkansas. The extension provides up to seven months of continued security services from July 1, 2025, through January 31, 2026, under existing contract 70RFP419DE7000002. The sole source extension is justified under FAR 6.302-1 as only one responsible source exists that can provide uninterrupted PSO services without creating security gaps at federal facilities throughout the state. This extension allows the Federal Protective Service time to complete a competitive procurement process for a follow-on contract, including solicitation, evaluation, and a 120-day transition period. The agency plans to award the new competitive contract no later than October 3, 2025, with performance beginning February 1, 2026. While the specific award value is not disclosed, the justification indicates that hourly rates have been determined fair and reasonable through price comparisons with similar contracts, accounting for market conditions, inflation, and increased labor costs.
