The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) intends to extend the current contract for Armed Protective Security Officer (PSO) services in the New York Metropolitan area on a non-competitive basis. This extension, required from October 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025, is necessary to ensure continuity of security services critical for protecting federal facilities during a transition to a new contract, following delays in the competitive bidding process. The existing contractor, Paragon Systems, Inc., is uniquely positioned to provide these services without interruption, as they are already familiar with the operational requirements. Interested parties can reach out to Melissa Hally at Melissa.Hally@fps.dhs.gov or Thomas Schrank at thomas.schrank@fpa.dhs.gov for further information, with the intention to award a new competitive task order by December 1, 2024, for services commencing on April 1, 2025.
