Statewide ranked opportunities and likely upcoming recompetes for facilities contractors across Colorado.
Market Intelligence —
Security Guards in Colorado
Colorado's Security Guards Services procurement is controlled by a narrow agency base: Office of Procurement Operations and U.S. Marshals Service together account for 84% of all awards worth $229.5M in total obligated spending. This dual-agency dominance means contractors in Colorado 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 — TRIPLE CANOPY INC, DOMESTIC AWARDEES (UNDISCLOSED), IDS INTERNATIONAL, LLC — hold 92% of recent awards, meaning new entrants face significant barriers unless targeting recompetes or set-asides.
Colorado's Security Guards Services recompete pipeline contains 6 contracts approaching renewal windows in Q3 2026, valued at an estimated $334.7M combined. 6 of these (100%) carry high takeover signals, indicating agencies with a pattern of switching vendors at contract renewal. Federal Acquisition Service accounts for the largest share of upcoming recompetes, making it the priority agency for displacement-focused contractors.
