About the company
Pond Security Service GMBH, doing business as Pond's, a veteran-owned limited liability company headquartered in Erlensee, Germany, is the prime contractor for comprehensive guard and installation security services delivered to U.S. Department of Defense facilities across the European theater, with 100% of its federal award footprint in prime positions and no subcontractor relationships on documented awards.
Pond's operates exclusively as a prime contractor on full-and-open federal procurements with no set-aside designations across its entire portfolio. The company's concrete service offerings center on static and mobile guard forces, roving patrols, working dog teams, transportation security, access control systems, and installation protection services tailored to U.S. Army and Department of Defense requirements. Representative work includes a $101.99 million delivery order from the Department of Defense European Region for ELINS (Expeditionary Level Installation Security) services through June 30, 2027; a $999.97 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with U.S. Army Installation Management Command Europe Region (IMCOM-Europe) for Germany-wide guard services valid through February 2028; and a $76,063 delivery order from the Department of Defense Education Activity for student transportation security training services in the Kaiserslautern and Bavaria/Stuttgart districts.
Customer concentration is extreme and geographically narrow. The top five funding agencies account for 86% of awards by count and 88% by combined potential value, with IMCOM-Europe anchoring 140 awards valued at $5.7 billion—the overwhelming majority of Pond's federal footprint. The Department of the Army (26 awards, $663.2 million), the Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security (2 awards, $261.6 million), the Department of the Army European Command (17 awards, $194.3 million), and the Department of Defense Education Activity (16 awards, $85.9 million) round out the active set. All work is performed in Germany; place of performance across the portfolio is consistently Germany, with operations at major U.S. military installations including USAG Rheinland-Pfalz and USAG Bavaria.
Pond's holds four active indefinite delivery vehicles totaling approximately $1.76 billion in aggregate ceiling value. The largest is the $999.97 million single-award indefinite delivery contract W564KV19D0002 with IMCOM-Europe, which has generated 49 task orders valued at $576.9 million. A second IMCOM-Europe vehicle, the $710.37 million indefinite delivery contract W564KV19D0002 awarded August 25, 2025, has driven 9 task orders (approximately $52.89 million). The indefinite delivery contract DABN0103D0028 has supported 40 task orders valued at $1.09 billion. A blanket purchase agreement issued August 19, 2024, by IMCOM-Europe carries a $50 million ceiling for armed and unarmed security guard services across the European area of responsibility through August 2029. The Department of Defense Education Activity single-award indefinite delivery contract for student transportation security training services carries a $501,190.80 ceiling through January 31, 2030.
Activity has grown modestly but consistently over the past five years—from 8 awards in 2022 to 23 in 2025—with 19 awards issued year-to-date in 2026. Within the next twenty-four months, 11 awards (combined potential value $129.1 million) reach ultimate completion and face recompete exposure. SCI-reported invoicing on federal service contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold totaled $345.8 million across FY2022–FY2025 (FY2022: $65.3 million; FY2023: $69 million; FY2024: $106.8 million; FY2025: $104.8 million). The SCI dataset shows the vendor delivered roughly 1,148 FTEs to the federal government in FY2025, with a trajectory of 803 FTEs (FY2022) rising to 1,210 (FY2024) before settling to 1,148 (FY2025). On federal services contracts captured in SCI, median government-paid rates ran around $39.07/hr, with the 10th percentile at $35.35/hr and the 90th percentile at $43.24/hr. Pond's maintains zero subcontractor engagement across SCI-reportable prime contracts, delivering all services with internal workforce.
The vendor operates as a sole proprietorship and parent entity with one named subsidiary, Pond Security Service LLC, also foreign-owned. The company has held federal contract registrations since at least 1992, with continuous Department of Defense work spanning the past two decades, establishing it as a cornerstone security contractor for U.S. military force protection requirements in the European theater.
