The Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations (OBO) requires these services to implement a Construction Security Monitoring Program (CSMP) at construction sites globally, with varying complexities ranging from new Embassy compounds to system upgrades at existing facilities. A Top Secret facility clearance is mandatory for firms, as these projects may occur in significant locations like Vietnam, China, and Russia, all requiring specialized security protocols. The Department plans to award at least two indefinite delivery-quantity contracts to qualified U.S. small businesses, emphasizing the need for firms to already possess a DOD Top Secret facility clearance. The RFP is expected to be released on or around December 15, 2025, with interested firms required to express their interest via email by December 2, 2024. This procurement reflects the government’s focus on engaging small businesses in critical national security projects abroad.
