Security Services RFP FAQ
What certifications do security guards need for federal contracts?
FPS (Federal Protective Service) contracts typically require guards to meet LESO (Law Enforcement Security Officer) standards, including criminal background checks, drug testing, and specific training hours. Some facilities require Secret or Top Secret clearances.
How do I get started in government security contracting?
Start with local and state contracts: courthouses, city buildings, and school security. Build a track record and guard workforce. Then pursue federal contracts through FPS or direct agency solicitations. SDVOSB certification is especially valuable in security.
What's the difference between armed and unarmed security contracts?
Armed contracts pay significantly more but require additional licensing, insurance, and training. Many federal facilities require armed guards. Unarmed contracts are more accessible for newer firms. BidSparq shows these requirements in the RFP details.
