PHF Unarmed Security Officer and Patrol Services - Newport News/Williamsburg Airport

Peninsula Airport Commission is soliciting proposals under RFP 2026-1 for unarmed security officer and patrol services at Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport (PHF), with questions due November 6, 2026 and proposals due December 1, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. EST. Addendum 2 moved the proposal deadline from the November 18 date set in Addendum 1 and replaced the October 29 question deadline. The procurement is not a small or micro-business set-aside. It carries Disadvantaged Business Enterprise provisions, and employers with more than 50 employees must participate in E-Verify on contracts over $50,000.

The scope is two unarmed security officers per overnight shift, up to seven nights per week, generally 2000 to 0430 hours. Work covers the terminal fixed post, terminal, roadway, parking, curbside, and perimeter patrols, camera monitoring, two documented security rounds per patrol rotation, incident documentation, and emergency support as directed. Officers are observe-and-report only with no law enforcement authority. Personnel must hold Department of Criminal Justice Services licenses and training, SIDA and Non-Movement Area Driver Training, and pass background checks. Up to eight primary personnel and prequalified backups may be deployed. Contractors receive limited access to existing airport camera, access-control, and door-alarm monitoring systems, and they furnish their own radios, mobile devices, incident-reporting resources, and communications equipment. One patrol vehicle is required per shift.

Pricing is based on 6,205 officer-hours annually (two officers, 8.5 hours, 365 nights), with holiday and overtime rates stated as complete hourly billing rates rather than multipliers. The term is up to one year, with one successive one-year renewal by mutual written agreement, and Addendum 2 permits proposed renewal-year price increases. No contract value is stated. The Commission covers screening, badge, and training charges for up to eight initial personnel. Additional badges cost $105.00 each, and the contractor bears lost badge ($35), failure-to-return ($100), failure-to-notify ($100), and renewal ($75) fees. Required insurance includes $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate general liability, $1 million combined single limit auto liability, and $1 million to $5 million umbrella coverage. Bonds are not required. Monthly invoices in arrears are paid within thirty days of receipt and acceptance through eVA. Place of performance is Newport News, Virginia. Addendum 2 states that the Davis-Bacon Act, Copeland Anti-Kickback Act, Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, and Service Contract Act do not apply, superseding the RFP's earlier federal wage provisions.

This is the Commission's initial procurement of these services, with no incumbent contract or existing staffing level. Evaluation uses a 100-point scale: experience (20), staffing and personnel capabilities (15), staffing continuity and response capabilities (15), past performance (15), training programs and certifications (10), ability to respond to operational changes (10), price (10), and proposal quality (5). The Commission will select two or more fully qualified offerors for negotiations and award to the best value. It may hold oral presentations, interviews, or site visits, or award on written proposals alone. No group preproposal conference is scheduled, but individual site inspections may be requested through the Procurement Contact by November 6. Proposals are submitted through the eVA portal or by sealed delivery, and email submissions are not accepted. Service commencement is anticipated within 30 calendar days of receipt of order, with an optional 15-day administrative extension for credentialing.
