Securityhunter Awarded Social Security Administration Blanket Purchase Agreement

  • Dec 11, 2020

Securityhunter Inc., located in Baltimore, MD, received a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to continue providing security systems and support services for Social Security Administration (SSA) locations nationwide.

Securityhunter was competitively awarded a BPA against its General Services Administration (GSA), Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contract, to provide security systems and support services to various SSA locations nationwide. The Period of Performance is Oct. 30 through Sept. 29, 2025, and is estimated at $87 million. This BPA provides standardized video surveillance systems, intrusion detection systems, duress alarms, and physical access control systems, and consists of equipment, installation, maintenance, and support services at SSA offices.

The initiative is referred to as Physical Security Systems Standardization and Support Services.

“This is a very significant win for Securityhunter, which will soon be an employee owned company,” said Michael S. Rogers, founder and CEO. “This award means the employees can continue on our path to success in securing our Nation.”

The award of the BPA allows Securityhunter, Inc. to save the government funds by reducing the administrative costs of acquiring commercial services from the GSA Federal Supply Schedule.

“We’re extremely happy to be able to continue supporting the SSA, our entire staff is excited about this award.” said Ross Nelson, executive director.

"This is a team win. Over the last five years, Securityhunter’s team of dedicated employees, subcontractors, and the SSA have worked together in a synergistic environment to support the physical security requirements of SSA,” said Brian Vanderhoof, program manager. “I know that all of us will bring that same level of team performance and success to the follow-on contract. Any contract win is sweet, but as the incumbent, it is that much more so.”

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
