The contractor must provide comprehensive security services including organizational structure, qualified personnel, access control, screening, vehicle inspections, static and roving patrols, and security technologies such as the Guard Electronic Monitoring System (GEMS) and walk-through metal detectors to protect U.S. personnel, dependents, property, and facilities from loss, injury, unauthorized access, and potential terrorist attacks. The contractor must comply with local labor laws and host country regulations while providing uniforms, equipment, vehicles, radio networks, and mobile phones. The contract will be awarded to the best technically acceptable proposal with the lowest evaluated price, with a statutory preference given to offerors qualifying as U.S. persons or U.S. Joint Venture entities under 22 U.S.C. § 4864.

Offerors must maintain active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) and direct all questions to the contracting officer via email, as phone calls will not be accepted.
This solicitation includes no set-aside designation and does not identify any incumbent contractors or current service providers. The specific award value is not stated in the solicitation notice. The contract will consist of one base year of performance followed by four optional one-year periods, all exercisable at the sole discretion of the Government, creating a potential five-year engagement. The contractor must provide multiple labor categories including Supervisors, Senior Guards, and Guards with specific qualifications for each role, though the exact number of personnel required is detailed in the Performance Work Statement accompanying the full solicitation documents. Services will be performed in Wellington and Auckland, New Zealand, where the contractor must maintain continuous security operations to meet all specified protective requirements for the Mission and Consulate facilities.
