Unarmed Security Guard Services

The Atlanta Independent School System (APS) is soliciting proposals for unarmed security guard services through a competitive procurement process scheduled between June 30, 2025, and July 30, 2025. This contract opportunity, located in Fulton County, Georgia, seeks qualified contractors to provide comprehensive security services for the school district's facilities. The primary objective is to secure educational environments through professional unarmed security personnel who can maintain safety and order within school premises. Potential vendors must demonstrate expertise in providing security services specifically tailored to educational institutional settings, with an emphasis on professional, non-aggressive security approaches. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, typical assessments for such contracts often include vendor qualifications, past performance, staff training credentials, and proposed security protocols. The proposal submission deadline is firmly set for July 30, 2025, requiring interested contractors to prepare and submit comprehensive proposals that demonstrate their capability to meet APS security requirements.

The contract opportunity does not specify explicit set-aside designations or specific restrictions on responding organizations, suggesting the procurement is open to a broad range of qualified security service providers. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing security infrastructure that might require integration. While the exact budget range is not disclosed, school district security contracts typically represent significant financial opportunities, potentially ranging from $100,000 to $500,000 annually depending on the number of facilities and required coverage. Contractors should anticipate providing detailed information about their staff training, background check procedures, uniforms, communication protocols, and emergency response capabilities. Potential respondents will likely need to demonstrate compliance with local and state regulations governing security services in educational environments, including licensing, insurance, and professional certifications for security personnel.
