Security Guards in North Carolina
In North Carolina, Security Guards Services procurement concentrates in two primary agencies: U.S. Marshals Service (63%) and Office of Procurement Operations (19%). With 82% of 67 total awards between them and $174.1M in obligated spending, these agencies define the competitive landscape. Contractors should align their capability statements and teaming strategies to these agencies' acquisition preferences. On the vendor side, the market is incumbent-heavy: the top 3 contractors — DOMESTIC AWARDEES (UNDISCLOSED), PARAGON SYSTEMS INC, METROPOLITAN SECURITY SERVICES, INC. — hold 89% of recent awards, meaning new entrants face significant barriers unless targeting recompetes or set-asides.
The recompete pipeline across North Carolina shows 3 Security Guards Services contracts approaching renewal, valued at an estimated $75.0M 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.
