United Security Inc.

United Security Inc., a woman-owned for-profit subchapter S corporation headquartered in Red Bank, New Jersey, delivers armed and unarmed corrections and detention officer staffing, prisoner transportation services, and on-site security guard services to federal law enforcement and detention agencies exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and related blanket purchase agreements, competing in full and open competition with no set-aside designation.

United Security's customer base is heavily concentrated in the Department of Justice. The top five funding entities account for 90% of combined potential value across all awards, dominated by the US Marshals Service Office of Procurement ($355.8 million across 11 awards), the Bureau of Prisons Metropolitan Detention Center Brooklyn ($95.6 million across 72 awards), the BOP Field Acquisition Office ($76.7 million from a single indefinite delivery BPA), and the US Marshals Service Prisoner Operations Division ($55.1 million across 5 awards). By award count, BOP's Metropolitan Detention Center Brooklyn leads at 72 awards, followed by Metropolitan Correctional Center New York (51 awards, $21 million), Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix (37 awards, $21.7 million), and the US Marshals Service (32 awards). The vendor's single largest vehicle is the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, which anchors 237 task orders valued at $696.2 million combined potential value and runs through February 2027. United Security also holds two high-value BPAs originating from the GSA Schedule: a $76.7 million single-award agreement with BOP's Field Acquisition Office for armed guard services at the Metropolitan Detention Center Brooklyn (completion June 2, 2026), and a $43.5 million single-award agreement with the US Marshals Service for prisoner transportation and qualified detention officers supporting USMS Regions 1 and 2 (completion October 31, 2030). Representative recent work includes a $11.8 million BPA call awarded October 1, 2025 from MDC Brooklyn for armed guard II services through September 30, 2026, a $4.98 million BPA call from US Marshals Service on May 16, 2025 for prisoner transportation and detention officers on a time-and-materials basis, and recurring quarterly delivery orders from FCI Fort Dix ranging from approximately $102,500 to $500,000 for unarmed guard services supporting inmate supervision.

United Security's award activity has remained steady over the past five years, averaging 8.8 awards per year (13 in 2022, 15 in 2023, 5 in 2024, 10 in 2025, 1 in 2026 to date). Combined potential value across all 296 awards totals $686.7 million, with $193.2 million obligated (28% of potential). Three awards carrying $37.8 million in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore enter recompete window. The vendor's capability portfolio is narrowly specialized: the source data spans 261 awards under NAICS 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services) with the remainder scattered across related codes. PSC coding reflects the operational focus — 257 awards coded under Housekeeping-Guard, with smaller volumes under Support-Professional, Special Studies/Analysis-Security, and Housekeeping-Surveillance categories.

SCI-reported invoicing shows growth: $15.5 million in FY2022 across 142 FTEs, $21.9 million in FY2023 across 182 FTEs, and $28.7 million in FY2024 across 260 FTEs. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI prime records run median $55.38/hr, with the 10th percentile at $44.82/hr and 90th percentile at $58.90/hr, reflecting the lower-wage tier of the guard and detention officer labor market. The vendor reports zero sub-engagement across SCI prime contracts, indicating full in-house delivery with no material subcontractor reliance. On its GSA Schedule, United Security offers nine labor categories ranging from Guard I at $53.07/hr to Project Manager at $185.19/hr, all requiring high school education with no security clearances offered. This pricing posture and labor structure positions the vendor as a low-to-mid-cost provider of detention and correctional facility staffing serving a narrow, stable federal customer base with minimal workforce leverage or vertical capability expansion beyond on-site security operations.
