NP RFP Military Security Guards

The Alabama State Military Department is issuing a Request for Proposals to procure state-licensed armed security guard services for Installation Entry Control (IEC), Visitor Control Center (VCC), and Commercial Vehicle Inspection (CVI) operations at National Guard facilities throughout Alabama. The procurement encompasses nine primary posting locations including Joint Forces Headquarters in Montgomery, Fort McClellan and Clarke Range in Anniston, and Army Aviation Support Facilities in Hope Hull and Mobile, with potential for up to six additional alternate locations. The selected vendor must provide fully trained, Alabama-licensed, and certified security personnel equipped with state concealed weapons permits, along with uniforms, equipment, training, background checks, and personnel screening at the vendor's expense. Key personnel requirements include a Senior Security Guard Manager compensated at GS-11 Step 3 with a $10,000 annual travel allowance and an Anti-Terrorism Program Coordinator at GS-11 Step 5 with a $5,000 annual travel allowance. All security guards must pass comprehensive background checks including NCIC/NAC clearance, medical screening, drug testing, and physical agility testing. The initial contract term is one year with four optional one-year renewals for a maximum five-year period, contingent upon performance evaluation, fund availability, and mutual written agreement. The evaluation criteria weight experience and performance at DoD/Military/NG installations at 55 percent, resources and capability at 20 percent, budgetary information at 20 percent, and references at 5 percent. A mandatory pre-bid conference and site visit is scheduled for April 24, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at the State Military Department (1720 Cong. W.L. Dickinson Drive, Room 201, Montgomery, AL 36109), with questions due by April 28, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. CST, and sealed proposals due May 8, 2026, at 4:30 p.m. CST.

The procurement does not appear to contain specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or other restricted categories, though all vendors must be registered with the Alabama Secretary of State if foreign corporations, enrolled in the E-Verify program if employing workers in Alabama, and in compliance with the Beason-Hammon Alabama Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act regarding immigration law. Vendors must provide a completed Vendor Disclosure Statement for contracts exceeding $25,000 and accept multiple forms of electronic payment at no additional cost. No incumbent vendor or current contractor is identified in the solicitation materials. The contract is governed by Alabama law with sole venue in Montgomery, and the State reserves the right to conduct cost realism and price reasonableness analysis. The supplier must provide a lump sum cost for uniforms, equipment, and training as a one-time charge on the first invoice, plus detailed hourly rates by post for future service modifications; however, no specific contract value or budget range is disclosed in the available documentation. An Intent to Award will be issued before final award, continuing for five calendar days before the award becomes final absent protests, and the State reserves the right to cancel contracts for convenience with notice.
