East Carolina University is seeking security guard and patrol services for its Campus Living residence hall communities.
- **Buyer:** State of North Carolina; East Carolina University, Campus Living; procurement through the ECU Department of Materials Management.
- **Requested services:** Visible roving patrols focused on residence hall exteriors and public areas, monitoring for suspicious activity and hazards, incident reporting, emergency assistance, and coordination with ECU Police.

- **Personnel requirements:** Guards must be certified, pass background checks, wear uniforms, and carry no weapons. Pricing is requested as all-inclusive hourly rates by role.
