Synopsis for Protective Security Officer Services throughout West Texas

The Department of Homeland Security Office of Procurement Operations is seeking to procure armed Protective Security Officer (PSO) services at various locations throughout the West Texas area. This pre-solicitation notice indicates the government's intention to issue a sole source extension of up to six months to the current Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, which permits sole source procurement when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. The extended period of performance will commence on January 1, 2026, and will provide continued armed security services while allowing time for placement of a new contract to maintain critical protective services. This is not a competitive procurement, and no Request for Proposal will be made available; instead, the government intends to negotiate directly with the incumbent contractor. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on December 17, 2025, with a deadline of December 31, 2025, and a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition has been posted to www.sam.gov.

The current contractor is Paragon Systems, Inc., located at 13900 Lincoln Park Drive, Suite 300, Herndon, Virginia 20171, which holds the existing contract number 70RFP421DE7000003. The applicable NAICS code is 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services) with a small business size standard of $29 million. While specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, the extension will cover a period of up to six months to maintain continuity of critical protective security services across multiple West Texas locations before transitioning to a new contract vehicle.
