Security Guards Government Contracts in El Paso, TX

El Paso's Security Guards market outpaces most Texas cities, with 20 active opportunities in Q3 2026 versus a state average of 11 per city. El Paso ranks as the 2nd most active market among Texas 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 Texas pipeline.

At the state level, Office of Procurement Operations leads Texas's Security Guards procurement at 36% of awards, followed by U.S. Marshals Service (32%). Contractors should prioritize building past performance with Office of Procurement Operations and U.S. Marshals Service, which together control the majority of local awards. These statewide patterns are a strong indicator of the buying agencies active in the El Paso area. Statewide in Texas, the incumbent landscape is entrenched: the top 3 vendors hold 78% of recent awards. New entrants should target recompete windows or set-aside opportunities rather than competing head-to-head on open solicitations.

Across Texas, there are 5 Security Guards contracts approaching recompete windows, worth an estimated $95.7M combined — any of which could create opportunity for contractors based in or targeting El Paso. The largest is a $39.1M contract with Department of the Air Force, currently held by ASRC FEDERAL GULF STATE CONSTRUCTORS LLC, which carries a high takeover signal based on the agency's vendor switching history. 5 of these recompetes carry high takeover signals, suggesting real opportunity for new entrants to displace incumbents.
