About this opportunity
The Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region 9 is seeking Level II Armed Guard services for disaster declaration 4724 in Hawaii through this urgent Request for Quotation (RFQ 70FBR925Q00000024). The procurement requires armed security guards to provide comprehensive protection services at various FEMA disaster-related facilities on the Island of Maui, including Joint Field Offices, Disaster Relief Centers, and logistical staging areas. Guards must be U.S. citizens with at least two years of security or military experience, pass background investigations, and maintain active firearms permits while performing duties such as access control, security screening, visitor processing, and emergency management. The evaluation will use a best value approach with technical approach being most important, followed by past performance, then price, with technical and past performance combined being significantly more important than price. Questions are due by September 1, 2025 at 4:00 PM PT, and proposals must be submitted by September 5, 2025 at 2:30 PM PT.
This solicitation does not utilize any set-aside designations and identifies Paragon Systems as the incumbent contractor currently providing these services. The contract structure is a Labor-Hour arrangement with a base period of 365 days (17,764.5 hours) starting September 16, 2025, followed by two 365-day option periods and one 181-day option period, with the total contract duration not exceeding four years through March 15, 2029. The Service Contract Act applies with wage determination 2015-5739 (Rev.-25), requiring minimum wages of $17.75 per hour plus health and welfare benefits. FEMA intends to make a single award under NAICS code 561612 for Security Guards and Patrol Services, with services performed exclusively in Hawaii and potentially extended to support presidentially declared disasters in California. The contract allows for rapid deployment flexibility, permitting currently vetted officers to work while obtaining new contract clearances to ensure continuous security coverage during disaster response operations.
