OST-M40-2025-01 - Guard Services

OST-M40-2025-01 - Guard Services - The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is seeking to procure Armed Contract Security Officers. These officers are crucial for ensuring the physical protection and security of DOT buildings within the National Capital Region. The DOT requires these security officers to maintain a safe and secure environment for all visitors and employees conducting business within DOT facilities. Their primary role will be to deter threats, respond to incidents, and protect personnel and property, allowing the essential work of the Department to proceed with confidence. The procured services will include all necessary management, supervision, personnel, training, equipment, supplies, and administrative support required to provide comprehensive security services. This includes ensuring that all Armed Contract Security Officers are trained to the Federal Protective Service A-9 standard, which is a recognized benchmark for federal security personnel. The officers will also be considered first responders (awareness level) by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), meaning they will be prepared to take immediate action in emergency situations. This procurement is for a Firm Fixed Price agreement, meaning the cost for these services will be established upfront. The quantity of officers and the specific coverage details will be outlined in the contract, but the overarching goal is to provide continuous, high-quality security for DOT buildings. The Department of Labor considers the working title of Armed Contract Security Officer to be equivalent to a Guard II labor category. This vital service directly supports the U.S. Department of Transportation's overarching mission to promote a safe, secure, efficient, and interconnected national transportation system by safeguarding its people and assets.
