In Q2 2026, Minnesota has 6 active Security Guards Services opportunities distributed across 2 cities, but the market is top-heavy: Unknown commands 83% of all activity. Unknown, Appleton together hold 100% of statewide deal flow.

Together they represent 63% of the state's 51 recorded contract actions and $93.0M 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 — TRIPLE CANOPY INC, TWIN CITY SECURITY INC, DOMESTIC AWARDEES (UNDISCLOSED) — hold 87% of recent awards, meaning new entrants face significant barriers unless targeting recompetes or set-asides.
