About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Rock Island Arsenal awarded a task order to GardaWorld Federal Services, LLC on a limited-source basis under the Global Protective Services (GPS) IDIQ contract on September 10, 2026, for immediate, contractor-furnished armed guard services in the vicinity of Erbil International Airport, Erbil, Iraq.
The justification cites urgent operational need under FAR 16.507-6(b)(1), which permits exceptions to fair opportunity when agency need is so urgent that providing fair opportunity would result in unacceptable delays. U.S. Army Central and Combined Joint Task Force - Operation Inherent Resolve determined that approximately 20 days were available to complete mobilization actions and obtain necessary approvals for lawful armed performance. Market research conducted via Request for Information to current GPS IDIQ contractors on September 2, 2026, identified GardaWorld Federal Services as presenting the most immediately executable mobilization approach based on their existing capability and operational posture within Iraq. The awarded task order is W519TC-26-F-A-649. A Notice to Proceed was issued on September 10, 2026. Period of performance and pricing details are redacted.
