SSA Guards Services Notice

The Social Security Administration (SSA) has issued a Special Notice on March 10, 2026, documenting its formal determination to substantially bundle contract requirements for guard services into a single consolidated contract. This presolicitation notice was published in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 7.107-2, which requires federal agencies to notify interested parties of significant bundling decisions within a seven-day notification period. The notice serves as an advance announcement to the contracting community regarding the SSA's decision to consolidate its guard services requirements rather than issue multiple separate contracts. The NAICS classification for this opportunity is 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), and the PSC category is S206 (Housekeeping-Guard). This notice indicates that a formal solicitation for these bundled services will be released to the public at a future date.

The SSA's primary objective in bundling these guard services requirements is to achieve significant operational and financial benefits, including improved operational efficiency, cost savings, and enhanced management oversight in support of the agency's mission objectives. While this presolicitation notice does not provide specific contract performance dates, pricing information, response deadlines, or detailed service requirements, it establishes the agency's commitment to the consolidated contracting approach. The notice functions as an advance alert to potential contractors and interested parties that a formal solicitation will follow. At this stage, no specific eligibility criteria or participation instructions have been detailed, as the formal solicitation process has not yet commenced. Interested contractors should monitor federal contracting portals for the release of the full solicitation announcement, which will contain all necessary requirements, evaluation criteria, and submission instructions for this bundled guard services contract opportunity.
