About this opportunity
The Department of Homeland Security Office of Procurement Operations intends to solicit Armed Protective Security Officer services for the state of Arkansas as a sole-source action with North American Security, Inc., through a modification to extend an existing IDIQ contract under FAR 6.130-1, with task order placement effective July 1, 2026. The Government is seeking noncompetitive authority to extend performance through October 31, 2026 (four months), with the J&A posted June 30, 2026.
Performance occurs throughout Arkansas. The extension provides continuity of protective security operations at federal facilities while the Government conducts competitive procurement and transition planning for the follow-on effort, including a mandatory 120-day transition period. The Government determined that North American Security, Inc. is the only contractor capable of mobilizing uninterrupted PSO services by July 1, 2026 without causing security jeopardy to federal facilities, personnel, and visitors; competing firms cannot meet the mobilization deadline without unacceptable operational delays.
The underlying contract (70RFP419DE7000002) is an IDIQ with firm fixed pricing. The J&A document indicates the full extension request covers six months (July 1 through December 31, 2026) and encompasses both Basic/TAS and Employment Service Services categories, funded through Operations and Support appropriations in FY 2026 and FY 2027. Pricing was determined fair and reasonable based on rate comparisons to similar PSO contracts in Delaware, Ohio, and Indiana; no certified cost or pricing data is required. NAICS 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), PSC S206 (Housekeeping–Guard).
Notice text
The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of RFO FAR 6.130-1 for Armed Protective Security Officer (PSO) services with North American Security, Inc., (1701 S. Kelly Avenue, Edmond, OK 73013) for up to four (4) months, July 01, 2026, through October 31, 2026, to allow time to solicit and award the follow-on contract, as well as to provide adequate time for the 120-day transition. This action will result in a modification to extend the ordering period of the existing indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity type contract to allow placement of a task order to continue critical PSO services throughout the state of Arkansas. Task orders(s) will only be issued under this contract for the necessary length of time required, but not to exceed four (4) months. As such, this extension will allow time to complete the solicitation and award as well as provide an adequate transition period to the new effort for this requirement.
