Background: The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Division of Police, is responsible for providing and administering contract guard services at specific buildings and entrances both on and off the NIH campus in the Washington-Baltimore area to supplement security systems and law enforcement personnel.

This surveillance function is critical to validating that contract security guard services are performed at a continuous, acceptable quality level, helping prevent weaponized vehicles and unauthorized personnel from entering the NIH main campus and satellite facilities. There are currently 22 separate posts/locations on the main campus and 9 off-campus sites with contract guards assigned, several staffed 24 hours a day, located throughout the greater Washington-Baltimore region including Bethesda, Baltimore, Fort Detrick, Poolesville, and Rockville, Maryland. Purpose and Objectives: The purpose of this acquisition is to procure surveillance and quality assurance services of NIH's contract security guard force, consistent with the Guard Force Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan / Performance Requirements Summary (QASP/PRS). Project requirements: Independently, and not as an agent of the Government, the Contractor shall perform the following: Conduct random, scheduled, and unscheduled inspections/surveillance of the contract guard force at all NIH facilities in the Washington-Baltimore area with assigned contract guards, during all hours of the day and night, including holidays, weekends, and periods of inclement weather. Evaluate guard force performance across five categories: Access Control; Roving Patrols; Training and Recruitment; Professional Guard Service and Complaint Monitoring; and Continuous Improvement/Contract Reporting.
