Transition Security Guard Services — CDC Facilities, Metro Atlanta, Georgia and Fort Collins, Colorado

The requirement is not merely to perform security guard services for one month. It is to assume full coverage of the security of multiple CDC campuses, including a BSL-4 select-agent laboratory and Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) posts on January 1, 2027 with no lapse, and to relinquish those posts to the follow-on contractor on February 1, 2027. Guard personnel at these posts must already hold the requisite security clearances, CDC facility credentials and access badges, site- and post-specific certifications, and current weapons qualifications. The incumbent’s workforce is already fully cleared, credentialed, badged, post-certified, and in place. Any source other than the incumbent would first have to complete its own transition-in — clearances, credentialing, badging, post certification, and weapons qualification — before January 1, 2027, and then immediately execute a transition-out thirty days later. The Government has determined, and has structured the follow-on contract to reflect, that a new contractor requires the full period of January 1–31, 2027 to complete transition-in alone. Any lapse, gap, or partial coverage would create an unacceptable risk to life safety, to the physical security of select agents at the BSL-4 laboratory, and to classified national-security information within the SCIF. Accordingly, for this limited period, only one responsible source can satisfy the agency’s requirement. Capability Statements All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which the agency will consider. To be responsive, a capability statement should address how the respondent would complete transition-in at the identified CDC facilities — including security clearances, credentialing, badging, post certification, and weapons qualification — so as to assume full post coverage effective January 1, 2027, and complete transition-out to the follow-on contractor by January 31, 2027, with no lapse or degradation in coverage at any point during the period.
