🎯 Top 5 Federal Security Contract Awards
GARDAWORLD FEDERAL SERVICES LLC - $10.5M
Federal Protective Service
Awarded: Jan 28, 2026
Why this matters: GardaWorld is one of the largest security firms globally. A $10M+ award signals major federal facility expansion. If you're in their market, expect aggressive recruiting and wage pressure in the coming months.
MANAGEMENT & TRAINING CORPORATION - $7.9M
Centerville, UT
Awarded: Jan 28, 2026
Why this matters: MTC primarily operates correctional facilities. This contract likely involves detention center security staffing. Specialized market with high clearance requirements and above-average pay scales.
GEM TECHNOLOGY INTERNATIONAL, CORP - $4.0M
Dallas, TX
Awarded: Jan 29, 2026
Why this matters: Texas continues to dominate federal security spending. Dallas-based firms are well-positioned for DHS and CBP work. Watch for subcontracting opportunities.
G4S SECURE SOLUTIONS (USA) INC. - $2.4M
Phoenix, AZ
Awarded: Jan 29, 2026
Why this matters: G4S (now Allied Universal) winning in Phoenix shows continued Southwest border security investment. Smaller regional firms should track these awards for partnership or subcontracting angles.
CHENEGA GLOBAL PROTECTION, LLC - $2.1M
Edison, NJ
Awarded: Jan 29, 2026
Why this matters: Chenega is an Alaska Native Corporation with 8(a) contracting advantages. If you're competing against ANC firms, you need a different strategy. Consider teaming arrangements.
⚠️ Compliance Watch
BIG NEWS: We're now tracking disciplinary actions in THREE states: Texas, Illinois, and Florida.
This week: 100 violations in TX, 100 in IL, 543 in FL.
Florida's 543 violations stand out. With 140,000+ licensed security officers, FL is one of the largest security markets in the country. If you're operating multi-state or considering FL expansion, this data gives you a compliance edge your competitors don't have.
Companies with active violations in multiple states face compounding risk. We're now cross-referencing contract winners against violation records across all three states.
💡 How to Use This Intel
For Security Companies: GardaWorld and G4S winning $13M combined means hiring wars are coming. If you're in the same markets, either raise wages now or position on specialization they can't match (cleared personnel, niche certifications).
For Sales Teams: "Hey [Name], saw GEM Technology just won a $4M federal contract in Dallas. When companies scale that fast, compliance gaps show up quick. We've helped 3 security firms avoid violations during rapid growth. Worth a 15-minute call?"
For Investors/M&A: Track firms winning multiple federal contracts across quarters. MTC and Chenega both have repeat award patterns. That's predictable revenue. Florida's high violation count also signals potential acquisition targets who need compliance help.
