Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically the National Cemetery Administration, is seeking Unarmed Security Guard services with a patrol vehicle for the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona in Phoenix, AZ. This opportunity is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Set-Aside. An amendment has been issued to publish answers to vendor questions and the site visit sign-in sheet. Quotes remain due by June 5, 2026.
Scope of Work
Provide unarmed security guard services, including vehicle patrol, at the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona. Services encompass access monitoring, patrols, incident response, visitor assistance, and ceremony support. One unarmed guard per shift will perform multiple security functions, prioritizing incident response and funeral/ceremony support over vehicle patrol and main gate monitoring.
Key Clarifications from Amendment
- Guard Duties: One unarmed guard per shift performs multiple functions; incident response and ceremony support are highest priorities.
- Breaks: Guards may take breaks while maintaining radio monitoring; no dedicated physical relief is required.
- Equipment: Government-issued radios are for Administration Office hours only; contractors must maintain security operations without them during other times.
- Patrols: Attachment 3's patrol frequencies are an estimated baseline, subject to contractor adjustment.
- Technology: GPS tracking, geofencing, QR/NFC checkpoint systems, and electronic guard management systems are optional.
- Incident Reporting: Response is expected as soon as reasonably possible; emergency reports are due at the earliest practical opportunity.
- Law Enforcement: Security officers are not to detain individuals; they must contact local law enforcement for emergencies.
- Medical Emergencies: Personnel should notify emergency services and secure the area; CPR/AED certification is not required.
- Overtime: This is a fixed-price contract; the Government does not pay for overtime.
- Supervision: The Supervisor can also serve as the on-duty guard and is included in the one-guard-per-shift requirement.
