Quick Summary

The Federal Protective Service Acquisition Division (FPS) has issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a non-competitive extension of Armed Protective Security Officer (PSO) services to Triple Canopy, Inc. This action ensures continuity of critical PSO services in Minnesota and Wisconsin for up to five months, from March 1, 2026, through July 31, 2026, while a competitive follow-on contract is solicited and awarded.

Action Details

This J&A facilitates a modification to an existing indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract, allowing for the placement of a task order to Triple Canopy, Inc. (13530 Dulles Technology Drive, Ste 500, Herndon, Virginia 20171). The extension is strictly limited to the necessary duration, not exceeding five months.

Purpose of Action

The primary purpose of this non-competitive extension is to prevent a lapse in essential PSO services. It provides adequate time for the FPS to complete the solicitation and award process for a new, competitive contract, as well as to ensure a smooth transition period to the new contractor.
