    Frequently Asked Questions

    What government security services contracts are available?
    The federal government spends billions annually on physical security services across thousands of facilities. Contract types include: uniformed guard services (armed and unarmed), access control operations, surveillance and monitoring, security systems installation and maintenance, mobile patrol, executive protection, and port of entry security. GSA, DHS, DOD, VA, TSA, and federal courthouses all contract extensively for security services.
    How do security companies win government guard contracts?
    Government security guard contracts are typically awarded through competitive bidding based on technical capability (guard qualifications, training program, management approach), past performance, and price. Most are Service Contract Act (SCA) covered, requiring compliance with prevailing wages. Key factors include guard training standards, supervisor ratios, response procedures, and quality control. SamSearch helps security companies find relevant solicitations, analyze requirements, and build compliant proposals.
    What clearances do security guard companies need for government contracts?
    Clearance requirements vary by facility type. Federal civilian buildings often require guards with basic background investigations. Classified facilities (DOD, intelligence community) may require guards with Secret or Top Secret clearances. Border security and TSA contracts have their own training and background standards. SamSearch lets you filter security opportunities by clearance requirement to find contracts your workforce can support.
    What is the Service Contract Act and how does it apply to security contracts?
    The Service Contract Act (SCA) applies to most federal security guard contracts and sets minimum wages and fringe benefits based on Department of Labor wage determinations for specific locations and labor categories. Guards may be covered by different wage determinations depending on their classification (Armed Guard, Unarmed Guard, Guard Supervisor). Proper SCA compliance is critical for contract performance and profitability, SamSearch AI extracts wage determination details from solicitations.
    What NAICS codes do security companies use for government contracts?
    Key security NAICS codes include: 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), 561611 (Investigation, Guard, and Armored Car Services), 561621 (Security Systems Services, except Locksmiths), 561613 (Armored Car Services), and 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation) for airport security. Registering with the correct NAICS codes is essential for finding relevant opportunities and set-aside eligibility.
    Can small security companies win federal guard contracts?
    Yes, many federal security guard contracts are set aside for small businesses. The 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, and WOSB programs create security contract opportunities for qualifying small security firms. Even without set-aside status, local security companies frequently win because agencies value geographic proximity, local knowledge, and responsive management. SamSearch identifies small business set-aside security opportunities and geographic opportunities in your service area.
