R430--Contracted Security Guard Services for VA Pacific Islands Health Care System

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Notice to identify qualified contractors to provide contracted security guard services for the VA Pacific Islands Health Care System in Honolulu, Hawaii. The services include unarmed, uniformed security personnel to provide coverage at multiple VA facilities across the Hawaiian islands, including clinics in Honolulu, Kaneohe, Kapolei, Hilo, Kona, Kahului, and Lihue. Security guards must meet strict qualifications, including a high school education minimum, at least two years of prior security experience, no felony convictions, demonstrated physical fitness, and the ability to handle challenging patient interactions professionally. The contract requires fixed shift coverage between 0600-1730 hours Monday through Saturday, excluding federal holidays, with specific duties encompassing entry control, roving patrols, traffic control, and emergency response. Interested contractors must respond to this Sources Sought Notice by November 10, 2025, at 12:00 PM Pacific Standard Time via email to Michael Alston at michael.alston@va.gov, providing company information, business size classification under NAICS Code 561612, point of contact details, and any current GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract status. This is market research only and does not constitute a formal solicitation or commitment to award a contract.

This procurement is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), as indicated by the set-aside designation and NAICS Code 561612. The Performance Work Statement specifies that one to two Security Guard I personnel will be required per location, though no specific total contract value, budget range, or overall service timeline has been disclosed in the pre-solicitation materials. Responses must include comprehensive company information, including business size, address, and point of contact information, to allow the government to assess organizational qualifications and capabilities. No incumbent contractor information or current contract details are provided in this notice, as this represents the initial market research phase. The government reserves the right to use submitted information for any legally appropriate purpose and has emphasized that responses will be treated as proprietary and not shared with competing organizations.
