Quick Summary
The Department of the Army (ACC-RI) has issued a Justification for Exception to Fair Opportunity (JEFO) for Armed Security Guard Services at Subic Bay, Philippines. This JEFO outlines the urgent need for security support for controlled/weapon storage and identifies Continuity Global Solutions (CGS) as the sole qualified vendor due to immediate operational readiness and local compliance. This is not a competitive solicitation, but future requirements are anticipated to be competitive.
Scope of Work
This requirement is for an Armed Security Response Force for controlled storage and weapon systems at two separate sites in Subic Bay. Services include providing Site Guard Managers and Armed Mobile Guards.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Justification for Exception to Fair Opportunity (JEFO)
- Identified Vendor: Continuity Global Solutions (CGS)
- Duration: 12-month base period (March 2026 - March 2027) with two 6-month option periods.
- Set-Aside: None (sole-source justification)
- Published: April 3, 2026
Rationale for Sole Source
An urgent need exists for a fully operational armed security force prior to the arrival of sensitive military assets in Subic Bay. CGS is identified as the only qualified vendor capable of meeting this urgent timeline due to its existing footprint, corporate licensing, established local relationships, and vetted workforce in the Philippines. A competitive procurement process would exceed the critical asset arrival date.
Future Opportunities
Limited market research was conducted, and while other vendors had technical abilities, only CGS demonstrated immediate operational readiness. Future requirements are anticipated, and market research will be conducted for a competitive follow-on procurement once current needs are better defined.
