Government contracts for security services in Georgia

Security services contracts in Georgia 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.

As of October 20, 2026, Georgia has 5 open security services contracts in our database, with 5 added in the last 30 days. That's a steady cadence — enough flow to make automated alerting worthwhile rather than manual portal-checking. The most active buyers are Chatham County (3 open posts) and City of Atlanta (1), with the rest spread across other federal civilian agencies, DoD components, and state and local departments active in Georgia.

Beyond federal opportunities, much of the security services work in Georgia is posted through the Georgia Procurement Registry (GPR), with recurring buyers including the Georgia Department of Transportation, the University System of Georgia, and the Georgia Technology Authority. GPR posts almost all state-agency contracts in one feed — a vendor account with proper NIGP codes is essential. 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.
