Security Guards in Washington, DC
In Q4 2026, Washington shows above-average Security Guards procurement activity with 20 open opportunities — compared to 11 per city statewide. Washington ranks as the most active market among District of Columbia cities for federal Security Guards contracting. Above-average activity suggests growing federal investment in this area, making it a strong market for contractors building a District of Columbia pipeline.
At the state level, District of Columbia's Security Guards awards are dominated by U.S. Marshals Service, which accounts for 84% of all contract awards totaling $38.5M. Contractors targeting Washington should expect U.S. Marshals Service to be the primary buyer in this market. Statewide in District of Columbia, the incumbent landscape is entrenched: the top 3 vendors hold 97% of recent awards. New entrants should target recompete windows or set-aside opportunities rather than competing head-to-head on open solicitations.
Across District of Columbia, there are 10 Security Guards contracts approaching recompete windows, worth an estimated $555.2M combined — any of which could create opportunity for contractors based in or targeting Washington. The largest is a $253.3M contract with Department of the Navy, currently held by SERCO INC, which carries a high takeover signal based on the agency's vendor switching history. 10 of these recompetes carry high takeover signals, suggesting real opportunity for new entrants to displace incumbents.
