SOC, a Day & Zimmermann security company, this week protested the Department of Energy’s recently-announced award of a $1-billion Savannah River Site security services award to a Securitas-led team.
The bid protest, dated Feb. 22, matched the DOE solicitation number for the Savannah River Site Paramilitary Security Services contract awarded Feb. 12 to the SRS Critical Infrastructure Security (SCIS) team led by Securitas.
SCIS team won the contract over two other teams, DOE said at the time. One of losing bidders is evidently led by incumbent Centerra, which earlier had challenged DOE’s solicitation process with the Government Accountability Office.
SOC is listed in DOE online procurement records as one of the companies that participated in a March 2019 briefing and site tour about the contract that involves protecting people, buildings, nuclear material, secrets and computer systems at the federal complex along the Georgia-South Carolina state line.
SOC did not respond to an email seeking comment this week. A general phone number listed on the SOC website did not offer a voice mail option.
The SOC website touts the company as a “proven provider of security services in remote and high-risk environments.”
