Private security functions.

Private security functions. Activities engaged in by a contractor under a covered contract as follows:
(1) Guarding personnel, facilities, designated sites, or property of a Federal agency, the contractor or subcontractor, or a third party.
(2) Any other activity for which personnel are required to carry weapons in the performance of their duties in accordance with the terms of their contract. For the DoD, DoD Instruction 3020.41, “Operational Contract Support (OCS)” (available at https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/302041p.pdf) prescribes policies related to personnel allowed to carry weapons for self-defense.
(3) Contractors, including those performing private security functions, are not authorized to perform inherently governmental functions. In this regard, armed contractors are limited in the use of force to a defensive response to hostile acts or demonstrated hostile intent.
