Private Armed Security Officer Services

The Charleston County Aviation Authority in South Carolina is seeking private armed security officer services to protect its historic facility. The agency needs to solve security vulnerabilities by implementing access control, visitor screening, bag inspection, and incident reporting. The requested scope of work covers an average of forty-five to fifty hours per week, which includes night, weekend, religious services, and public hours. The agency requires that the work be performed offsite, though the physical security presence must be maintained at the Charleston facility. Only onshore organizations based in the United States are eligible to bid on this opportunity. Bidders must submit their proposals digitally via email or through the designated online portal. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and cost structure for these services. All clarifying questions regarding this procurement must be submitted to the agency no later than July 1, 2026. The agency will evaluate proposals based on the submitted bids, though specific weighted evaluation criteria are not detailed in the initial solicitation.
