The Department of Defense's NAICS 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services) market: incumbents, spending trend, set-asides and open solicitations — from FY2026 USAspending awards and live SAM.gov notices.
Contract data as of Oct 18, 2026 (USAspending) · recent coverage verified weekly
| Quarter | Awards | Obligated | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 FY2026 | 21 | $59.2M | — |
| Q2 FY2026 | 39 | $63.3M | +7% |
| Q3 FY2026 | 12 | $3.6M | -94% |
| Q4 FY2026 · partial | 9 | $64.2M | +1659% |
Federal fiscal quarters (Q1 = Oct–Dec). Awards are counted in the quarter they start; obligations are the award's obligated amount. The Department of Defense publishes contract awards to USAspending with a 90-day delay, so Q4 FY2026 is still missing most DoD awards — treat that quarter as incomplete, not as a spending decline.
| # | Contractor | Obligated | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | POND SECURITY SERVICE GMBH | $108.7M | 57.1% |
| 2 | JOEUN SYSTEM CORP. | $17.5M | 9.2% |
| 3 | HANA TECHNOLOGIES & SYSTEMS, INC. | $11.7M | 6.2% |
| 4 | PROTECTION UNIT | $11.6M | 6.1% |
| 5 | MERITUS SOLUTIONS GROUP LLC | $10.9M | 5.7% |
Registrations are rolled up to their corporate parent (USAspending parent UEI), so a company with several SAM registrations ranks once.

| Small business set-aside | $5.0M | 23.1% |
| 8(a) | $2.1M | 9.8% |
