About the company
Metropolitan Security Services, Inc., operating as Walden Security, a woman-owned small business headquartered in Chattanooga, Tennessee, provides armed and unarmed court security officer and special security officer staffing to the federal judiciary as a prime contractor, competing exclusively full-and-open with no subcontracting. The vendor's federal footprint concentrates on direct-delivery labor-hour security staffing across approximately 430 federal court facilities nationwide, with secondary customer relationships at the Department of Justice U.S. Marshals Service and the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys.
Walden Security's customer concentration is extreme: the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts (AOUSC) accounts for 735 of 949 recent awards (90% of award count) and $7.66 billion of the $10.63 billion combined potential value across all awards (94% of dollars). The Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention anchors secondary exposure via two orders valued at $776.1 million and $948.9 million, the Department of Justice U.S. Marshals Service Office of Finance holds 86 awards worth $377.5 million, and the U.S. Marshals Service Office of Security Contracts holds 34 awards worth $200.1 million. The Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys places 59 awards valued at $83.5 million, primarily for special security officer services.
Walden Security holds six single-award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts with the AOUSC covering Circuits 1 through 12, with individual ceilings ranging from $121.3 million to $564.8 million and collective ceiling value exceeding $1.64 billion, all extending through March 31, 2029. The Circuit 9 IDIQ carries the highest ceiling at $564.8 million; Circuit 6 ceiling is $267.7 million; Circuit 12 ceiling is $284 million; Circuit 7 ceiling is $121.3 million. Walden Security also holds a General Services Administration OASIS+ Unrestricted multiple-award IDIQ (issued December 17, 2024, ceiling $999,999,999,999, through December 16, 2029) and sits on five Department of Justice U.S. Marshals Service indefinite-delivery vehicles (DJMS11D0504 with 68 task orders worth $195.5 million; 15M10522DA4700005 with 64 task orders worth $338 million; DJM15A32V0048 with 64 task orders worth $236.6 million; 15M10522DA4700007 with 60 task orders worth $192.4 million; 15M10523DA4700068 with 58 task orders worth $429 million).
Activity ran at 96–110 awards per year across the past five fiscal years (FY2022–FY2026), with 98 awards worth $537.5 million reaching completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure in the near term. On federal service contracts captured by the Service Contract Inventory, Walden Security reported invoiced revenue of $216.6 million in FY2022 across 2,119 FTEs and $516.4 million in FY2025 across 5,319 FTEs, with a median government-paid rate of $49.22 per hour and a range from $41.84 to $58.13 per hour at the 90th percentile—standard for federal security labor. The SCI dataset shows zero FTE and zero revenue for FY2023 and FY2024, indicating a possible transition or reporting gap. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Walden Security engaged zero subcontractor hours—the vendor operates exclusively as a direct-labor prime, building and deploying its own security workforce to federal court facilities with no material subcontracting. The vendor's federal contracting posture is full-and-open competition across all recent awards, with no set-aside designations; the woman-owned small business designation is noted in awards but does not anchor procurement strategy. Primary NAICS coding is 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services); primary PSC coding is S206 (Housekeeping-Guard).
