Government contracts for security services in Delaware

Security services contracts in Delaware 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.

Delaware currently has 1 open security services contract in our database, with 1 added in the last 30 days. Volume in smaller markets is lumpy: a single base or facility can drive a quarter of annual postings. The most active buyer is DEPT OF THE ARMY (1 open posts), but contracts also come from federal civilian agencies and state-level departments operating in Delaware.

Beyond federal opportunities, much of the security services work in Delaware is posted through the Delaware bid solicitation portal (MyMarketplace), with recurring buyers including the Delaware Department of Transportation and the University of Delaware. Most state-level work is centralized through the Office of Management and Budget Government Support Services division. ContractRadar pulls federal postings from SAM.gov alongside state and local feeds so a security-services firm doesn't have to monitor each portal manually.
