Synopsis for Protective Security Officer (PSO) services in various locations throughout Kentucky

The Federal Protective Service Acquisitions Division within the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Procurement Operations intends to issue a sole source contract extension for armed Protective Security Officer (PSO) services at various locations throughout Kentucky. This extension will extend the current indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract for up to six months, beginning July 1, 2025, to ensure continuity of critical security services while a new contract is procured. The procurement is being conducted under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, which allows for sole source procurement when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. The solicitation notice was posted on June 20, 2025, with a due date of June 30, 2025, though this is not a competitive solicitation and no Request for Proposal will be issued. A Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition has been posted to sam.gov to support the sole source determination.

The current contractor is Patronus Systems, Inc., located at 3000 North Wickham Road, Suite 8 Melbourne, FL 32935-2330, who will receive the sole source extension of existing contract 70RFP119DE4000001. The extension period is limited to six months and is specifically designed to bridge the gap until a new contract can be awarded to maintain uninterrupted PSO services. All services will be performed at various locations throughout Kentucky, and the contract falls under PSC category S206 (Housekeeping-Guard). The indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity structure allows for flexible ordering of services as needed during the contract period.
