01 / The Real Problem
What actually
goes wrong in Hamilton County.
Every sector has its own failure modes — the incidents that repeat, the complaints that show up on every RFP. Here’s what we’ve learned watching government sites in Hamilton County since 1998.
Cleared-personnel requirements
Some posts require Secret-level officers with active clearances. We maintain a dedicated cleared-officer roster across TN.
GSA & NAICS alignment
561612 primary, plus 561621 and 561990. GSA MAS experience, with teaming-partner references available.
Flow-down compliance
FAR, DFARS, and agency-specific flow-downs integrated into our post orders and officer training pipeline.
02 / What We Deploy
Six government-specific
disciplines.
Generic guard companies offer the same six SKUs to every sector. We deploy government-tuned services with training, SOPs, and post-orders built for the environment.
G·01
Federal facility officers
Armed and unarmed officers at federal sub-contracts under DHS, GSA, USPS, and VA coverage.
G·02
State & municipal contracts

G·03
Cleared-personnel support
Secret-level officers for sensitive sites, with pre-approved substitution roster for continuity of coverage.
G·04
Federal fleet & courier escort
Secure-transport escorts for federal fleet vehicles, mail-handling routes, and inter-facility transfers.
G·05
Contracting-officer liaison
Named senior officer as primary CO liaison — monthly QA reviews, CPARS-ready reporting, audit-prep support.
G·06
Surge & continuity coverage
72-hour surge activation for incident-response needs, and dedicated continuity staffing for multi-year IDIQ contracts.

passes audit.
Your contracts, certifications, and compliance obligations become ours. Here are the industry-specific credentials every government officer carries before first shift.
