Garda CL Northwest, Inc.

Garda CL Northwest, Inc., doing business as GCL NW, is a for-profit security logistics provider based in Renton, Washington that delivers armored car and courier services to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards), competing through full-and-open procurement with no set-aside designations. The vendor is a self-certified small disadvantaged business registered in SAM.gov since 2008, with a narrow specialization in armored vehicle transportation and secure cash-handling logistics.

GCL NW's federal customer base is heavily concentrated in two agencies. The Defense Commissary Agency dominates both dollar value and strategic importance, accounting for 29 awards carrying $8.2 million in combined potential value (85% of the vendor's total), with recent delivery orders spanning six-month performance periods at Seattle, Washington locations and prior work at Patrick Space Force Base and Malmstrom Air Force Base. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 20 represents the vendor's second-largest customer by award count (50 awards, $390 thousand combined potential value), but these are substantially smaller individual task orders. The Department of the Interior National Park Service Intermountain Region, Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 19, and the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management California Region together account for the remaining awards in smaller volumes and dollar magnitudes. These five customers cover 81% of recent awards and 98% of combined potential value, indicating extreme concentration on two federal customers.

GCL NW places task orders under two parent vehicles: a Veterans Affairs Blanket Purchase Agreement (VA26012A0059) carrying 43 task orders worth $335 thousand, and an Indefinite Delivery Contract (HDEC0519D0005) generating 9 task orders valued at $3 million. The vendor's recent DeCA work includes a $317 thousand delivery order from January through June 2026, a $275 thousand order from July through December 2025, and a $282 thousand order covering July through December 2024—all firm fixed-price, six-month performance cycles for armored car logistics at multiple commissary locations.

Activity has remained flat to modest across the past five years, averaging roughly one to two awards annually since 2022, with a combined potential value portfolio of $9.6 million and obligated dollars at 50% of that ceiling. The vendor operates with no subcontract footprint, relying entirely on prime contracting. NAICS concentration centers on armored car services (85 of 106 awards), with PSC codes split primarily across courier/messenger support (44 awards) and housekeeping/guard services (29 awards), reflecting the vendor's pure-play positioning in physical security transportation and cash logistics.
