The Department of Homeland Security's Federal Protective Service is seeking to extend a sole source contract for Protective Security Officer (PSO) and related services at the Plum Island Animal Disease Center in New York. The extension, which will last up to six months, is intended to ensure the continued provision of critical armed security services while a new contract is being established. This procurement is vital for maintaining security operations at the facility, which plays a significant role in animal disease research and management. Interested parties can direct inquiries to Ryan Hessler at ryan.c.hessler@fps.dhs.gov or Thomas Schrank at thomas.schrank@fps.dhs.gov, with the extension period set to commence on January 1, 2025.
