Armed Security Guard Services

The Louisiana government authority is seeking armed security guard services to ensure the safety of its office building and parking lot. The agency needs guards to perform security checks, enforce safety and emergency procedures, and respond to fire alarms, bomb threats, or other emergencies. Guards must arrive on duty at 8:00 AM daily to sign in, unlock entry doors, and inspect the parking area and building perimeter. The scope of work requires guards to inspect all visitor bags to prevent weapons or harmful objects from entering the premises. Guards must remain alert at all times, stand by during client interviews, and periodically monitor the Child Welfare lobby and receptionist areas. Additional duties include monitoring the handicapped parking spaces, state vehicle parking areas, and designated fire lanes. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency specifies that the performance of the work will be offsite, though the guards will operate at the Louisiana facility. The authority is currently looking for proposals and has not disclosed a specific budget or key dates in the initial solicitation.
