This J&A facilitates the continuation of armed Protective Security Officer (PSO) services at various locations in Washington, DC.

Evaluation
This document is a justification for a non-competitive action and is not a solicitation for proposals. The future follow-on contract will be awarded competitively. Market research indicated that while other firms could provide services, they could not do so by the required February 1, 2026, start date without unacceptable delays or interruptions, necessitating this extension.
Additional Notes
The extension is required due to unexpected delays in the pre-solicitation process for the upcoming competitive follow-on contract. KR Contracting, Inc. is the incumbent and is familiar with the requirements, ensuring a seamless transition and uninterrupted security services.
