AMENDMENT 0003 _Sol_70FBR427R00000001 Level II Armed Guard Security Services

FEMA Region 4 seeks Level II armed guard security services for its Long Term Recovery Office in Lake Mary and Fort Myers, Florida, under a Total Small Business set-aside, with questions due October 29, 2026 at 2:30 PM ET and proposals due November 4, 2026 at 2:30 PM ET. Under FAR 52.226-3, the prime must reside or primarily conduct business in Florida, hold its own current Florida Class B Security Agency License, and perform at least 50 percent of contract costs for personnel. A Florida subcontractor's qualifications cannot substitute for prime eligibility.

Place of performance is Lake Mary (701 International Parkway) and Fort Myers (12651 Gateway Blvd.), Florida. The requirement covers 11 Level II armed Protective Security Officers: four primary and two standby at Lake Mary, and three primary and two standby at Fort Myers. Guard Task Orders may add armed services at any FEMA facility in Florida issued a major disaster declaration, with mobilization within 24 hours. Only primary officers are billable.

The contract is Labor Hour, with a base period of November 16, 2026 through November 15, 2027 at an estimated 19,926 hours and one option period through December 31, 2027 at an estimated 3,440 hours. Hours are estimates with no guaranteed minimum. Overtime is not authorized. Travel is included in the hourly rate, and invoices are validated against GSA Form 139 duty registers. Service Contract Act wage determinations 2015-4529 (Lee County) and 2015-4553 (Seminole County) apply. The NAICS code is 561612 and the PSC is S206.

Each armed officer must be a U.S. citizen at least 21 years old, hold Florida Class D and Class G licenses, and maintain current firearms qualification, CPR/First Aid/AED certification, and baton or OC certification. Officers must have two years of qualifying security, police, or military experience. Weapons are 9mm or .40 caliber semiautomatic handguns supplied by the contractor. All 11 officers must be identified in the proposal and complete FEMA suitability vetting (Tier 2 suitability investigation minimum) and receive Entry-on-Duty approval before beginning work. Offerors must hold active SAM.gov registration at proposal submission and award.

Award is best value, with technical and past performance combined significantly more important than price. Technical subfactors cover state and county licensing, commercial general liability insurance of $500,000 per occurrence, financial responsibility, weapons and equipment with a Master Authorization List, officer certifications, a working and staffing plan (5 pages maximum), a project plan (5 pages maximum), a business continuity plan (2 pages maximum), a use of force policy (25 pages maximum), and a set-aside and local area determination that gives highest priority to responsible Florida small businesses. Past performance requires three questionnaires on Florida Level II armed contracts with at least 11 personnel over one year; missing questionnaires result in a neutral rating. Price is evaluated for fair and reasonable pricing with unbalanced pricing analysis. Proposals lacking required documentation are non-responsive.

Amendment 0003, dated October 29, 2026, replaces the Amendment 0002 evaluation factors, adds Q&A 002 covering questions 31–59, and uploads omitted Section J attachments.
