DHS Homeland Security Contracts — May 08, 2026

Universal Protection Service won a firm-fixed-price delivery order for statewide Illinois protective security officer services (performance 2025-12-01 to 2030-11-30) via full and open competition, with $31.4M obligated and base + options at $198.2M but $0 outlayed to date.

Self-certified small disadvantaged business Monkton Inc. received a firm-fixed-price delivery order for Individual Assistance Modernization IT services (NAICS 541512) from FEMA, spanning 2025-09-30 to 2029-09-29 with $27.5M obligated and potential $49.4M ceiling via full and open competition.

Booz Allen Hamilton secured a time-and-materials delivery order for National Exercise Division support (NAICS 541330) with $21.6M obligated ($33.6M potential), $16.4M outlayed, and $12.5M in subawards through potential 2027-07-14.

MLU Services' firm-fixed-price small business set-aside delivery order for DR-4611-LA housing operations carries high pricing risk despite $16.8M outlayed on $31.9M obligation (potential $49.7M), tied to event-specific disaster relief through 2026-05-01.

High firm-fixed-price risks prevalent in top awards like MLU Services $31.9M logistics, Universal Protection $31.4M PSO, Ardent Group $28.4M ICE pharmacy, and Monkton $27.5M IT, with many showing low/zero outlays (e.g., Universal $0, Ardent $0).

Newer contracts like Sev1Tech $19.3M CISA CEEOSS and Monkton $27.5M FEMA IT show $0 outlays despite recent awards (2025), vulnerable to DHS budget shifts amid CR uncertainty for Oct-Dec awards.

Universal Protection Service $198M option ceiling on $31.4M Illinois PSO contract offers multi-year security services expansion through 2030-11-30.

Monkton Inc. $49.4M potential on $27.5M FEMA IT modernization delivery order supports 4-year Individual Assistance upgrade.

Small business set-asides like Potawatomi Training $24.1M (8(a)/HUBZone) FEMA CDP training and MLU Services $31.9M disaster logistics signal policy-driven wins with $41.7M/$49.7M potentials.

FEMA awards emphasize IT modernization (Monkton $27.5M Individual Assistance) and training/exercise support (Potawatomi $24.1M CDP, Booz Allen $21.6M exercises, Guidehouse $14.9M financial PMO), with obligations totaling over $88M across 4 contracts.

ICE/CBP/CISA focus on security (Universal Protection $31.4M PSO, Anasec $20.9M background checks, Sev1Tech $19.3M CISA engineering) and pharmacy/investigative (Ardent $28.4M, LexisNexis $22.1M) totals ~$122M, mostly full/open competition.
