Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
The prior contract 36C78620A0034-36C78625F0016 awarded to Culpepper & Associates Security Services (approximately $155,564 for 08/01/25–07/31/26) appears to be a closely related effort providing security services at Fort Rosecrans under a BPA order. Given the current requirement for unarmed security services at Ft Rosecrans National Cemetery and the Q&A/amendment focus on security at the same site, the work likely represents a continuation of the incumbent’s prior coverage.
