Los Alamos National Laboratory is beginning the process of recompeting its protective forces subcontract, issuing a Request for Expressions of Interest yesterday. SOC Los Alamos, a Day and Zimmerman subsidiary, has provided security at the lab since 1992, beating out WSI (now known as G4S Government Solutions) and several other companies to retain the contract in 2010. Its contract expires Sept. 30, 2015. In the Request for Expressions of Interest, Los Alamos said the source selection criteria for the contract will include specific “pass/fail” criteria in nine key areas, requiring contractor to clear several hurdles to be considered for the contract. The criteria includes experience protecting Category I special nuclear material at a Department of Energy site, handling and protecting classified material, safely managing weapons and ammunition, as well as a host of DOE requirements. The scope of the contract is essentially the same as the current contract, with the addition of work to manage, staff and implement an Unmanned Aerial System Program. Interested companies have until July 11 to respond to the lab with their name, contact information and a “very brief description” of their capabilities and qualifications.
