                CHAPTER 1--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION

 

PART 37_SERVICE CONTRACTING--Table of Contents

 

                 Subpart 37.1_Service Contracts_General

 

Sec. 37.109  Services of quasi-military armed forces.



    Contracts with Pinkerton Detective Agencies or similar organizations 

are prohibited by 5 U.S.C. 3108. This prohibition applies only to 

contracts with organizations that offer quasi-military armed forces for 

hire, or with their employees, regardless of the contract's character. 

An organization providing guard or protective services does not thereby 

become a quasi-military armed force, even though the guards are armed or 

the organization provides general investigative or detective services. 

(See 57 Comp. Gen. 524).
