This RFP evaluation document from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) details the solicitation requirements for level II armed security guard services in Lake Mary and Fort Myers, Florida. FEMA intends to award a Labor Hour contract to the responsible contractor providing the Best Value to the Government. Evaluators will utilize a trade-off analysis where Technical and Past Performance factors, combined, are significantly more important than Price.

Technical: Assesses ten subfactors, including Florida state business and security licenses, proof of commercial liability insurance, financial responsibility, weapons and equipment ownership, PWS certifications, protective service officer qualifications, and detailed plans (Working & Staffing, Project, Business Continuity, and Use of Force). Subfactors are rated on a confidence scale ranging from High to Low Confidence. 2. Past Performance: Evaluates prior performance history, specifically focusing on armed guard support within Florida. Requires three Past Performance Questionnaires; omitting this attachment results in a Neutral rating. Ratings range from Superior to Unsatisfactory. 3. Price: Evaluates the completed pricing schedule to determine fair and reasonable pricing, including base and option periods, while checking for unbalanced pricing risks. Offerors must submit questions by October 26, 2026, with final electronic proposals due to FEMA by October 28, 2026, at 14:30 PM ET. Late submissions will not be accepted.
