Government contracts for security services in Virginia

Security services contracts in Virginia 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.

Virginia currently has 8 open security services contracts in our database, with 8 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 DEPT OF THE AIR FORCE (2 open posts) and Richmond Redevelopment Housing Authority (1), with the rest spread across other federal civilian agencies, DoD components, and state and local departments active in Virginia.

Beyond federal opportunities, much of the security services work in Virginia is posted through eVA (Virginia's eProcurement portal), with recurring buyers including VDOT, the Virginia public university system, and Fairfax / Loudoun / Prince William county governments. Virginia charges a small per-transaction eVA vendor fee but in exchange routes nearly all state and many local-government contracts through one portal. 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.
