All agencies of the government with high security needs have long depended upon the Federal Protective Service (FPS) to provide security service protection. There was no central clearing house for the approval of private security contractors.

Since 9/11, the FPS was placed under the Department of Homeland Security. The GSA has intensified the search, approval, and provision of private security contractors for facility managers at government sites. In order to provide a consistent and quality selection, a qualification process was established for all applicants to attain.

In fact less than 1% of all the private security companies in the world will qualify for a GSA contract in order to provide security service for offices of the US Government. There are stringent qualifications to reach and maintain. Only the best of the best will meet these qualifications.

The stringent qualifications include:

Passing a review of financial quality and stability

Ability to meet training requirements of government clients

Cost efficient operational standards

Ability to handle stringent start-up requirements

Passing a review of business references
