Government contracts for security services in Alabama

Security services contracts in Alabama typically cover armed and unarmed guard services at federal courthouses, X-ray and magnetometer screening, perimeter patrols at DOE sites, and access-control staffing at military installations. Federal posts in this category fall under NAICS 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), and the bulk of the work flows to the U.S. Marshals Service, GSA Federal Protective Service, DoD, and the Department of Energy. Many guard contracts are SDVOSB set-asides and require a state-issued private-security license in the place of performance.
