About this opportunity
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is soliciting proposals for Level II Armed Security Guards to provide security services across 25 counties in North Carolina in response to Hurricane Helene disaster declaration DR-4827-NC. The contract will require armed security personnel to safeguard federal employees, visitors, and property at both temporary and fixed facilities during the disaster response period. Proposals will be evaluated using a best value tradeoff process with four factors in descending order of importance: Capability, Management Approach, Past Performance, and Price. Technical factors will be significantly more important than price, and a 10% price preference will be given to local area businesses.

The solicitation is set aside for total small business participation and allows both local and non-local firms to submit proposals. The contract will require up to 80 armed guards working across 7 FEMA facilities in locations including Hickory, Durham, Charlotte, Greensboro, and Asheville, with potential for up to 1,200 hours of guard service per day. Guards must be U.S. citizens with at least 2 years of security, police, or military experience, current firearms permits, and the ability to carry contractor-authorized semiautomatic weapons. The total labor hours across all contract periods are estimated at approximately 132,712, with hourly rates to be determined by offerors using the provided pricing worksheet. While no specific incumbent is named, the contract supports ongoing disaster response efforts with historical deployment of over 100 guards and peaks of up to 150 Level II Armed Guards.
