Security Guard Services contracting in Georgia
Unarmed and armed security guard programs for government sites. We hold the contract; licensed guard companies provide the officers where state law requires.
No special license required to bid or hold the prime. No professional or trade license is required for AXA South to bid or hold the prime contract in this category. Any work that requires a state-issued trade, professional, or specialty license is performed by a properly licensed subcontractor in the project jurisdiction. AXA South does not self-perform licensed trade work and does not represent itself as a licensee of any trade or profession.
This categoryGuard companies operate under their own state guard licenses and officer registrations. We coordinate the program where the state permits the broker/prime model.
GeorgiaGeorgia requires a state contractor license for general and utility work. Qualifying work is performed by a licensed contractor of record.
AXA South is a contracting and program-management firm, not a licensed trade.
The market, honestly.
Georgia carries the second-largest defense footprint in the Southeast after Virginia. Cyber and IT demand at Fort Eisenhower, depot work at Robins, and the Atlanta state market combine into a deep agency buyer base.
Air cargo and passenger volume through Atlanta, the Port of Savannah, aircraft maintenance at Robins, Army training at Fort Benning and Fort Stewart, and a large film and logistics sector.
For security guard services specifically in Georgia, our model is direct: AXA South responds to the solicitation, holds the contract, and runs the program. Local crews and licensed trade partners in Georgia perform the work that requires their license or specialized credentials.
Robins Air Force Base hosts an Air Logistics Complex, which means depot-level maintenance, tooling, and industrial supply requirements at a scale most bases never generate. Georgia DOAS runs statewide contracts, and the University System of Georgia and county school systems buy separately.
State fiscal year ends June 30. Depot workload at Robins follows aircraft induction schedules, so supply requirements there track production planning rather than the fiscal year. The federal fiscal year closes September 30, so August and September carry the heaviest volume of simplified-acquisition and micro-purchase activity at every installation in the state.
Georgia does not operate a statewide minority set-aside for general procurement. GDOT runs a federal DBE program, and Atlanta enforces its own EBO participation requirements on city contracts.
Treating the Port of Savannah's authority as a state agency. The Georgia Ports Authority procures independently, with its own registration and bid process.
