Special Security Officer (SSO) to provide Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) security management for the CG District 14 shore-side Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) in Honolulu, HI

The US Coast Guard District 14 is conducting market research to identify potential sources capable of providing a Special Security Officer (SSO) to manage Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) security for their shore-side Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) located in Honolulu, Hawaii. The contracted SSO will be responsible for comprehensive security management including physical, personnel, technical, and procedural security aspects to ensure full compliance with ICD 705 and COMDTINST M5500.27 requirements. The successful contractor must work in partnership with the SSM/Staff, USCG SSO/AO, and USCG Contracting Officer/COR to achieve and maintain accreditation of the secure facility. The opportunity falls under NAICS code 561621 (Security Systems Services) and PSC code R430 (Support-Professional: Physical Security and Badging). Responses to this market research request are due by June 25, 2025, with interested parties required to specify their business size classification relative to the applicable NAICS code.

This procurement opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting participation to qualified small business entities under the specified NAICS code. The pre-solicitation notice does not identify any incumbent contractors or provide specific contract values or budget ranges, as this appears to be an initial market research phase to assess contractor availability and capabilities. No specific quantities or service timelines are detailed in the current notice beyond the requirement for ongoing security management and facility accreditation maintenance. The Coast Guard emphasizes that successful project completion depends on collaborative partnership between multiple stakeholders, suggesting this will be a relationship-intensive contract requiring close coordination with government personnel. Interested contractors must demonstrate their capability to handle sensitive compartmented information security requirements and maintain appropriate security clearances for SCIF operations.
