Centerra Group, LLC

Centerra Group, LLC, a for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Herndon, Virginia, delivers armed security personnel, court security officers, paramilitary protective force services, facility management, and base operations support to federal agencies as a prime contractor across full-and-open competition vehicles with no set-asides. The company operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of parent entity Centerra-Tdi Group Holdings, LLC, and carries six named operating subsidiaries including Centerra Integrated Construction Services, Centerra Services International, and Gregg Protection Services, positioning the group to serve diverse mission sets spanning security, facilities, and logistics.

Centerra's federal footprint is concentrated overwhelmingly in security services and facilities operations. The company's largest customers—measured by combined potential value across all contract vehicles—are the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts ($1.85 billion across 100 awards), the Department of Army Installation Management Command Headquarters ($542.7 million across 56 awards), and the Department of Homeland Security Office of Procurement Operations ($418.3 million across 118 awards). However, by award count, the Department of Navy Installations Command leads with 712 awards worth $226.8 million, followed by Naval Facilities Engineering Command with 347 awards worth $332 million. This divergence signals that Centerra places numerous small task orders with Navy real-estate and facilities teams while anchoring higher-dollar commitments to judicial security and Army installation work. Across 114 distinct customer agencies, Centerra has accumulated 3,192 prime awards totaling $87.84 billion in combined potential value over its source data span, though only $7.21 billion (8 percent) has been obligated to date, reflecting the long-duration nature of IDIQs and the reliance on task-order drawdown.

Award activity has contracted sharply in recent years. Centerra recorded 72 awards in 2022, 27 in 2023, 25 in 2024, 15 in 2025, and 2 in 2026 to date. This trajectory suggests either a consolidation of the award footprint into larger vehicles or a shift toward task-order execution under existing IDIQs rather than new prime awards. Within the next twenty-four months, fourteen awards with combined potential value of $276.5 million face ultimate completion and recompete exposure.

Centerra's capability portfolio clusters around three named NAICS codes. Security Systems Services (1,470 awards) dominates the footprint, reflecting the company's armed and unarmed guard, access control, and checkpoint screening work. Facilities Support Services (972 awards) captures maintenance, repair, custodial, and emergency-response work across Navy installations, Army posts, and courthouse complexes. Security Guards and Patrol Services (590 awards) reflects court security officer (CSO) staffing and protective force operations. Federal PSC coding confirms this profile: Housekeeping–Facilities Operations Support leads with 1,080 awards, Housekeeping–Guard follows with 578, and Maintenance/Repair/Alteration spans 432–308 awards depending on building type.

Centerra holds a portfolio of strategic indefinite-delivery vehicles. The $5.3 billion Transportation Security Administration Screening Partnership Program (SPP) IDIQ, awarded June 1, 2026, represents the company's newest and largest vehicle, positioned to generate task orders for privatized airport screening services nationwide through May 2036. The National Nuclear Security Administration's $1.49 billion single-award contract for Savannah River Site paramilitary security services (expiring May 2028) anchors protective force delivery at a nuclear complex. The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts' $312 million Circuit 5 CSO services IDIQ (through September 2026) and a companion $72 million Circuit 12 vehicle fund court security staffing across the Fifth and Twelfth Federal Judicial Circuits. Under Navy's Worldwide Expeditionary Multiple Award Contract TITUS (WEXMAC TITUS), Centerra holds a $65.7 billion multiple-award vehicle (January 2025–December 2029) for base operations and life support across Department of Defense. The company also maintains position on GSA's OASIS+ Unrestricted GWAC (awarded December 2024 with a placeholder ceiling), the General Services Administration's Federal Supply Schedule MAS program (ceiling $750,000, expiring August 2028), and multiple single-award BPAs with the Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection for armed facility guards at Southwest border facilities (combined potential value approximately $20.6 million–$20 million, expiring December 2023–2025). The company also holds a $1.18 billion BPA with the Administration for Children and Families for facility management services at emergency influx shelter sites (through September 2026). Two Navy vehicles—the Global Husbanding Support Services IDIQ and Naval Facilities Engineering Command's facility maintenance contract N6274216D3600—each carry multiple decades of execution history with cumulative task-order activity in the tens of thousands.

Recent concrete award work exemplifies the portfolio. On June 1, 2026, Centerra received its initial $5,000 delivery order under the SPP IDIQ from the Transportation Security Administration for privatized screening services at airports nationwide (firm fixed price, completion May 31, 2027). The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts issued ten labor-hour delivery orders totaling approximately $51.9 million on October 1, 2025, under the Circuit 5 CSO IDIQ for court security staffing across districts in Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi (FY2026 funding, completion September 30, 2026). The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office awarded a $6.59 million labor-hour delivery order on August 15, 2025, under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule for armed and security guard services at its Alexandria, Virginia facility (completion February 14, 2026). A $2.78 million definitive contract from the Bureau of Diplomatic Security on February 5, 2025, funded emergency medical services and fire services in Riviera Beach, Florida (firm fixed price, completion August 4, 2026). Customs and Border Protection awarded three 2023 delivery orders totaling approximately $79.3 million for armed facility guards across the Southwest border (McAllen, Laredo, and Tucson regions, labor-hour pricing, completions December 2023–March 2025).

Service Contract Inventory data for FY2022–FY2024 reveals that Centerra invoiced $627.5 million across 102 reportable prime service contracts, a subset of the company's full federal services work. Annual SCI invoicing peaked in FY2023 at $270.6 million (2,217 FTEs) before declining to $168.8 million in FY2024 (1,657 FTEs); FY2022 recorded $188.1 million (1,632 FTEs). On SCI-reportable federal services contracts captured in the dataset, median government-paid hourly rates ran around $54.61/hr, ranging from a 10th percentile of $38.02/hr for entry-level support roles to a 90th percentile of $70.73/hr for senior protective force and supervisory labor. The company subcontracts minimally—averaging 3 percent of total contractor hours performed by subcontractors across its SCI prime contracts, with only six named subcontractors reported, indicating that Centerra delivers the large majority of its services with in-house personnel.

GSA Schedule labor categories span 45 roles at rates from $55.68/hr to $218.67/hr, all at high school education level with no security clearance requirements. The rate band reflects a labor spectrum from Badging Clerk ($55.68/hr, one year experience) through TAS Guard II ($97.20/hr), TAS Lieutenant ($113.67/hr), Lieutenant with M4 ($135.96/hr), to Fire Chief ($218.67/hr, ten years experience). This pricing posture and the absence of cleared labor confirms Centerra's positioning as a non-classified industrial-base provider focused on facility hardening, uniformed security operations, and everyday protective services rather than intelligence or cyber work.

Centerra operates entirely as a prime contractor in its recent federal award activity—100 percent of the 3,192 awards in the source data are prime vehicles with zero sub-award positions. The company does not pursue set-aside contracting across 8(a), SDVOSB, WOSB, or other small-business categories; all active IDIQs and delivery orders use full-and-open competition. This posture reflects Centerra's size, financial capacity, and strategic positioning as a large, full-capability provider competing at the prime level across civilian and defense agencies.
