Executive Office for US Trustees

The Executive Office for U.S. Trustees, a sub-agency within the Department of Justice, manages federal contracts supporting the bankruptcy trustee program's administrative operations and technology infrastructure. The office has awarded 1,446 federal contracts since October 2009, totaling $1.34 billion in combined potential value with $872.4 million obligated to date. Recent activity has averaged 51 awards per year over the last five years, with 58 awards in 2022, 53 in 2023, 53 in 2024, 45 in 2025, and 45 year-to-date in 2026.

The competitive landscape is highly fragmented. The top five primes by award count cover 36 percent of recent awards but represent minimal dollar concentration; Cox Subscriptions, Inc. leads by count with 33 awards over the last five years but carries only $14 thousand in combined potential value, suggesting the office transacts heavily through Schedule task orders, BPA calls, or below-threshold purchases. Ardelle Associates, Inc. follows with 26 awards and $2.1 million combined potential value. Among the same five-year window, by-value concentration is negligible at 1 percent, with Centricity Technology Partners, Inc. reporting the highest potential value at $4.7 million across four awards. Across the portfolio history, 424 distinct prime contractors have been awarded, underscoring the absence of a dominant supplier base.

The vast majority of awards carry no set-aside designation: 85 percent of all awards are competed unrestricted. Small-business set-asides (all categories combined) account for 8 percent of awards, with 8(a) sole source and competitive 8(a) together representing 3 percent. Service-disabled veteran-owned small business, woman-owned small business, and HUBZone awards each represent 1 percent or less of the portfolio.

The office issues awards regularly but in modest volumes, averaging fewer than 50 per year. Recent contract opportunities are not recorded in the current digest. The agency's acquisition profile reflects routine operational and technology procurements supporting bankruptcy administration rather than large-scale or specialized defense-technology work; the granular award pattern and minimal top-vendor concentration suggest a distributed procurement model across many smaller service and supply vendors.
