- Description
- The Internal Revenue Service has a requirement for security services at major IRS facilities in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area. Primary locations are 1111 Constitution Avenue, NW, and the New Carrolton Federal Building, with a combined work population of approximately 9,000 employees. 53 guard posts, split between the two sites, are required. Of these, most posts will require armed guards and are operational 12 hours a day, 5 days a week. The total includes 15 posts that are operational 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Relief guards will also be required to cover lunch periods and breaks. Customary background and weapons permit checks will be required prior to performance and at designated renewal intervals, along with IRS background investigations. The small business size standard for this requirement is $10.5 million average annual sales over the last three fiscal years. Duties include, but are not limited to, individual and vehicular access control, visitor center processing, internal, external and vehicular roving patrols, alarm monitoring, operating x-ray and magnetometer equipment, as well as responding to incidents and writing incident reports. The work is expected to start on October 1, 2003, for twelve months, with four one-year options to follow. These services have been acquired in the past under a small business set-aside. We are publicizing this acquisition in this manner to determine whether there are firms with the interest and capabilities to warrant continuing to set this acquisition aside under one of the applicable programs, or whether services should be solicited on an unrestricted basis. If you are interested in performing these services and believe you are capable of meeting the requirements, please respond by return e-mail with a brief (no more than 10 pages) Statement of Capabilities identifying (1) Your experience with requirements of this magnitude and scope, (2) Your current guard force employee turn-over rate, (3) Your experience with dealing with a guard force union, (4) Your Quality Assurance Program, (5) Your program and capabilities for start-up and recurring training, (6) Your capabilities in using technology to improve the administrative support and types of service you would provide to a customer of this nature, (i.e. equipment inventories, personnel attendance, incident reports, officer logs, trouble reports), (7) Your socioeconomic status (small business, 8(a), HUBZone, small disadvantaged business, women-owned small business, veteran-owned small business, service disabled veteran-owned small business, etc.), and (8) Your ability to staff and perform a requirement of this nature on top of your present workload. For our decision-making purposes, responses must be received within 10 days of this notice. No telephonic communications are authorized. Questions and responses must be delivered by electronic mail or facsimile.
