SOC Awarded Fluor Federal Petroleum Operations Contract

 SPR GraphicFluor Federal Petroleum Operations (FFPO), the management and operating contractor for the Department of Energy Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), has awarded SOC, A Day & Zimmermann Company, a $123 Million [3 year base with two- 1 year options] contract to serve as the Protective Force (Proforce) for the Reserve with Critical Infrastructure Security Services. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is the world's largest supply of emergency crude oil established primarily to reduce the impact of disruptions in supplies of petroleum products, in order to carry out U.S. obligations under the international energy program. The SPR is a tool used to alleviate the market impacts of both domestic and international disruptions, caused by weather, natural disasters, labor strikes, technical failures/accidents, political disputes, or conflicts. 

With the addition of the SPR contract, SOC now leads security for five U.S. Department of Energy sites, providing protection of personnel and facilities. SOC’s teams of highly trained and qualified security personnel safeguard client personnel, equipment, facilities, and assets around the clock.
