Unarmed Security Guard Services, SAFR

The Department of the Interior National Park Service Pacific West Region is procuring unarmed security guard services for the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park (SAFR), specifically to provide one uniformed security guard primarily stationed at Hyde Street Pier. The contractor will be responsible for conducting security patrols of the pier, buildings, historic ships, and an active sailing educational program, including inspections inside ships, bilges, waterlines, moorings, and dock lines using a computerized tracking system across 26 locations. The security guard must be a US citizen or legal resident who can pass background investigations, wear standardized uniforms with company identification, and be available for graveyard shifts and weekend swing shifts while operating NPS-provided two-way radios. The government will evaluate offers based on technical capability, past performance, and price, with quotations due by 10:00 AM PDT on August 11, 2025. An organized site visit was scheduled for July 22, 2025, and the solicitation has been amended three times to include Q&A documents and site visit materials.

This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services) with a $29 million size standard. The contract structure includes a base period from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2026, with two one-year option periods and an additional option period that could potentially extend the contract through March 31, 2029. The scope requires 3,888 hours of regular security service annually plus 500 hours for holidays and staff leave coverage, with additional provisions for up to 60 hours per year of fire watch services and emergency call-out services. The government anticipates awarding a firm-fixed-price purchase order with pricing structured through multiple Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) for base security services, leave/holiday coverage, and specialized fire watch duties. Performance will occur at Hyde Street Pier within the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, where the contractor must coordinate with NPS and U.S. Park Police personnel while following strict protocols for handling intruders, unauthorized docking attempts, and emergency situations such as fires or ships taking on water.
