Security Guard Services BPA

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Army Contracting Command is seeking capability information from security guard services providers interested in establishing a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to provide non-personal armed and unarmed security guard services at sites within the European Area of Responsibility (AoR) of U.S. Army Europe and Africa (USAEUR-AF). The procurement falls under NAICS 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services) and PSC S206 (Housekeeping-Guard). Key requirements include installation access control, surveillance, monitoring, and safeguarding of installations using human and non-human means on both short and long-term bases, with contractors potentially requiring a Secret Facility Clearance at certain locations. The government's evaluation will focus on relevant past performance within the area of responsibility including Kosovo, Poland, Romania, and Bulgaria, security clearance status, mobilization timelines, experience with international permits and licenses, and contractor preferences regarding contract types and order lengths. The deadline for responses to the Request for Information (RFI) is March 7, 2024, with the projected three-year ordering period under the anticipated BPA expected to begin October 31, 2024.

This procurement includes no set-aside designations, and no incumbent contractors or award values are specified in the pre-solicitation materials. The RFI contains fifteen questions designed to assess contractor capabilities, including inquiries about relevant experience in the European area of responsibility, current security clearance status, ability to mobilize personnel within specified timelines, and willingness to participate in the BPA structure. The government has indicated preference for firm fixed price contracts with economic price adjustment clauses, though contractor preferences on contract types and order lengths are being solicited as part of the capability information gathering process. The scope of the BPA covers multiple countries beyond the specifically mentioned Kosovo location, as further detailed in the draft Performance Work Statement. Contractors interested in responding should submit their capability information by the March 7, 2024 deadline to the identified contracting officer and contract specialist via email.
