Who buys here
How federal agencies buy security services
Guard services come as RFPs or combined synopsis/solicitations, often best value, with a performance work statement that sets posts, hours, training and, for armed posts, weapons qualifications. Guards often need state licenses, many contracts require background checks before work starts, and pay follows the Service Contract Labor Standards wage determination. Common NAICS codes: 561612 for guards and patrol, and 561621 for security systems.
Contracting officers set a purchase aside for small businesses when they expect offers from at least two capable small firms at fair prices (the rule of two). Whether a firm counts as small depends on the SBA size standard for the notice's NAICS code, in annual receipts or employees, and offerors need an active SAM.gov registration with a Unique Entity ID.
