The Department of Transportation, specifically the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), is conducting a market survey to identify qualified vendors for Contract Security Officer (CSO) services in the Western Service Area, which includes states such as Alaska, California, and Hawaii, as well as Guam. The FAA seeks to procure armed CSO services to ensure the safety and security of its employees and facilities, requiring contractors to have a minimum of five years of experience in similar roles, along with necessary licenses and compliance with federal and state regulations. The services will encompass access control, visitor processing, and emergency response, with a focus on maintaining operational readiness and mitigating security risks. Interested parties must submit their past performance information and capability statements by March 26, 2025, to Timothy Thannisch at timothy.g.thannisch@faa.gov, adhering to specified formatting guidelines.
