Quick Summary
The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts (AOUSC) is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to identify vendors capable of performing a staffing analysis for its Court Security Officers (CSO) program. This RFI seeks to assess the current staffing posture, review standards, and recommend improvements for the program, which involves over 6,000 armed contract guards in approximately 420 courthouses. RFI responses are due January 30, 2026, by 2:00 PM Eastern Time.
Scope of Work
The selected vendor will be required to:
- Access the staffing posture of the CSO program.
- Review the staffing standard, job tasks analysis, and technical requirements.
