About this opportunity
The Department of State Office of Acquisition Management is seeking Secured Courier Services for its Passport Services Division, with a focus on armored car and armed guard transportation for funds, passport books, and other controlled items. The pre-solicitation notice indicates a requirement for daily weekday transportation services between passport agencies/centers and designated banks, utilizing at least two armed, uniformed guards for each transport. This opportunity is currently in a Request for Information (RFI) phase, where the agency is soliciting capability statements and industry feedback on service requirements, operational procedures, and performance measurement options. Interested businesses are invited to submit responses to a series of detailed questions by December 15, 2024, with the procurement strategy still under development. The RFI seeks input on critical operational aspects such as guard shortage management, fund handling procedures, insurance coverage, and contract authorization protocols.
The contract is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, targeting businesses in the Armored Car Services NAICS category (561613). While specific award values are not disclosed in the current documentation, the service requires comprehensive security measures including varied pickup times, incident reporting mechanisms, and a mandatory Continuity of Operations Plan. The contractor must demonstrate 100% compliance with scheduled pickups and deliveries, suggesting rigorous performance expectations. The opportunity represents a second announcement, indicating potential prior market research or previously unsuccessful procurement attempts. Interested firms will need to demonstrate robust security protocols, operational flexibility, and the capability to handle sensitive financial and document transportation needs for a federal agency with critical mission requirements.
