About this opportunity
The Department of Energy Office of Science seeks unarmed uniformed security guard services for the Argonne National Laboratory site in Lemont, Illinois and two off-site locations within 1.5 miles, with proposals due July 7, 2026. The procurement carries no set-aside.
Place of performance encompasses the approximately 1,500-acre, 150-building laboratory campus plus two nearby off-site locations, all within the Lemont area. Services must operate 24 hours daily, 365 days annually, including Central Alarm Station operations, access control, patrol operations, incident reporting, and security response support. All contractor personnel must comply with State of Illinois security licensing requirements under 225ILCS447 and applicable DOE Directives, particularly DOE O 473.3A Protection Program Operations. CAS Operators require DOE Q clearance; not all Protective Force personnel require Q clearance. Security Officers, Sergeants, and Lieutenants may perform duties while DOE clearances are pending, provided all other qualification requirements are met. Key Personnel do not require prior direct experience at Argonne but must demonstrate understanding of the operational environment.
The contract runs 24 months from December 1, 2026, through November 30, 2028, with three optional one-year extension periods through November 30, 2031. Pricing encompasses fixed monthly salaries for key personnel (Project Manager, Field Operations Manager, Administrative Support Manager), hourly rates for security personnel across designated shifts, and transition period pricing. A collective bargaining agreement effective December 1, 2024, through November 30, 2027, covers full-time and regular part-time security officers and sergeants, with wages ranging from $22.50 to $28.75 per hour depending on position and tenure. The award is Best Value, evaluated on technical approach, experience performing similar work, qualifications of personnel, transition plan, and proposal risk. Technical evaluation is expected complete by approximately July 15, 2026, with award anticipated September 1, 2026. Contact Procurement Specialist Derrek Patton at dpatton@anl.gov or 630-252-7054.
