Security Guards in Florida
In Q3 2026, Florida has 16 active Security Guards Services opportunities distributed across 2 cities, but the market is top-heavy: Unknown commands 88% of all activity. Unknown, Jacksonville together hold 100% of statewide deal flow. Contractors entering Florida's Security Guards Services market should treat Unknown as the primary beachhead before expanding to secondary markets.
Two agencies shape Florida's Security Guards Services market: U.S. Marshals Service leads at 53% of awards, with Department of Veterans Affairs at 21%. Together they represent 75% of the state's 234 recorded contract actions and $1.4B in total spending. Winning with either agency provides the past-performance foundation to compete for the other's work. On the vendor side, the market is incumbent-heavy: the top 3 contractors — DOMESTIC AWARDEES (UNDISCLOSED), EXCELSIOR DEFENSE, INC, GEO TRANSPORT, INC. — hold 85% of recent awards, meaning new entrants face significant barriers unless targeting recompetes or set-asides.
The recompete pipeline across Florida shows 6 Security Guards Services contracts approaching renewal, valued at an estimated $1.4B combined. Notably, 100% of these carry high takeover signals — a rate that suggests systemic dissatisfaction with incumbent performance or deliberate agency strategies to rotate vendors. Department of the Navy drives the largest concentration of recompete activity, making it the key agency for contractors positioning for contract takeover.
