Security Guards Government Contracts in Arizona
Statewide ranked opportunities and likely upcoming recompetes for facilities contractors across Arizona.
Market Intelligence —
Security Guards in Arizona
Arizona's Security Guards Services procurement is controlled by a narrow agency base: U.S. Marshals Service and Office of Procurement Operations together account for 72% of all awards worth $360.5M in total obligated spending. This dual-agency dominance means contractors in Arizona must build relationships with both to access the majority of contract dollars. On the vendor side, the market is incumbent-heavy: the top 3 contractors — DOMESTIC AWARDEES (UNDISCLOSED), PARAGON SYSTEMS INC, CULPEPPER & ASSOCIATES SECURITY SERVICES INC — hold 89% of recent awards, meaning new entrants face significant barriers unless targeting recompetes or set-asides.
The recompete pipeline across Arizona shows 3 Security Guards Services contracts approaching renewal, valued at an estimated $370.9M 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.
