Committee Report

This procurement seeks to provide security guard services for non‑public schools in New Jersey, covering three personnel categories: unarmed guards, armed guards, and retired police officers. Five firms submitted proposals; after evaluation, two vendors—IronRock Security and Century Protective Services, Inc.—were recommended for award to supply the armed‑guard and retired‑officer categories, while Allied Universal remains the sole responsive vendor for unarmed guards. The evaluation emphasized technical and management competence (80 % of the score) with cost accounting for the remaining 20 %. Minimum qualification was 75 % and both awardees far exceeded this threshold. The contract will be funded through each school’s security‑grant allocations and will likely be split between the two awardees. • Scope: Ongoing provision of armed security guards and retired police officers to non‑public schools, with the ability to scale guard numbers per school. • Award: Two contracts (IronRock Security & Century Protective Services, Inc.) based on highest technical/management scores and competitive hourly rates. • Evaluation: 5 proposals, 75 % pass‑mark, scoring split 40‑40‑20 (Technical‑Management‑Cost).
