Security Guard Services

The Houston Community College (HCC) is seeking proposals from qualified firms to provide Security Guard Services and related goods and services at various HCC facilities across Harris County and the Houston area. The scope of work will range in size and complexity, and HCC reserves the right to award separate contracts to multiple contractors. The successful proposer will be expected to provide uniformed security guards, equipment, training, and management of the security services. Key requirements include experience providing security services in a higher education or similar large campus environment, and the ability to meet HCC's standards for guard qualifications and responsibilities. The contract term is 2 years with 3 optional 1-year renewals, and the RFP estimates an annual contract spend of $400,000, though there are no guaranteed annual volumes.

This procurement is subject to HCC's Small Business Development Program, which will award points to proposers based on their small business participation commitment. There are no incumbent vendors or technology integration requirements specified. The RFP has a non-mandatory pre-proposal conference with a site visit, and proposals are due on April 22, 2024.
