Security systems government contracts
In fiscal year 2026, federal agencies obligated $704.17M on security systems contracts so far (Defense contracts arrive about 90 days late, so the year's total is still rising). Department of Defense bought the most, followed by Department of Homeland Security. 18 security systems contract opportunities are open now on SAM.gov, and 193 contracts worth $1.35B with options end in the next 12 months.
Installing, monitoring and maintaining access control, intrusion detection, video surveillance and other electronic security systems at federal facilities.
Set-asides: at least 13% of FY2026's security systems contract dollars ($94.62M) went through contracts set aside for small businesses, most through small business and 8(a) set-asides. Many orders under larger contracts carry no set-aside code, so this counts only what is reported. How set-asides work →

How the government buys security systems work
- Technicians often need background checks or security clearances, and the products may need to be on an approved list (for example, FIPS 201 approved products for access control that reads federal ID cards).
- Electronic security at military sites follows the Defense Department's construction and cybersecurity standards; read the specification sections in the solicitation.
- Installation work on a construction contract can fall under the Davis-Bacon Act; maintenance and monitoring under the Service Contract Act.
