The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires Contract Security Officer (CSO) services to enhance physical security at FAA facilities. The services aim to protect employees, equipment, and government assets from various threats, including theft and terrorism. The selected contractor must provide a well-trained, armed CSO team capable of implementing the Facility Security Management Program (FSMP), which encompasses monitoring facility access, responding to alarms, and conducting screenings. Contractor qualifications include a minimum of five years of experience in armed security services across multiple states and required licenses and permit validations. Additionally, CSOs must adhere to strict medical and drug-testing protocols, and possess necessary certifications for various safety and emergency procedures. The contract emphasizes the importance of professionalism and adherence to operational protocols, including conducting patrols, managing visitor access, and documenting incidents. The FAA outlines detailed responsibilities for the contractor and requires continuous oversight by a designated Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) to ensure compliance with all security standards. The document emphasizes a collaborative approach to maintaining safety and security in government operations, reflecting the FAA's commitment to maintaining a secure environment across its facilities.
