The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science (SC) requires a single contractor to provide security support services for the Office of Safety and Security (OSS), the SC Consolidated Service Center (CSC), and the Oak Ridge Office of Environmental Management (OREM). The work location is in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The mission of the support service contractor is to provide an array of site-wide security support functions that support Safeguards and Security (S&S) responsibilities in a secure environment protecting critical national security assets.
S&S support services must be both effective and efficient. An effective system is robust, resilient, adaptive, and consistent with the changing mission needs.

An efficient system operates at reasonable cost and imposes minimal burdens on the organizations carrying out primary missions at the facilities. Therefore, the objectives of this contract are to provide skilled and trained personnel to perform an array of support services to assist the OSS in the execution of the S&S mission.
