US Marshals Service CT

The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) Connecticut office is a component of the Department of Justice responsible for providing federal judicial security, fugitive apprehension, prisoner transport, and asset management services within the District of Connecticut. The agency serves as the enforcement arm of the federal courts, protecting the judicial process by ensuring the safe and secure conduct of judicial proceedings and protecting federal judges, jurors, and other court officials. In Connecticut, the USMS maintains operational presence to fulfill its statutory responsibilities while coordinating with other federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies to execute its mission throughout the district.

The USMS Connecticut office has awarded multiple purchase order contracts for security guard services to support its prisoner operations. Five recent awards between October 2024 and December 2024, ranging from $17,500 to $31,500 each, were issued to Domestic Awardees for District Security Officer (DSO) guard support services. These labor hours contracts provide for guarding and processing federal prisoners in cellblocks, courtrooms, and during transport, as well as guarding federal, seized, or forfeited property. The contracts support specific USMS programs including the SOSA program and operations at facilities identified as Masterson and District 14.

The agency has also invested in telecommunications infrastructure to support its operations in Connecticut. In June 2024, the USMS awarded a $31,310.50 firm fixed-price purchase order to Comcast Government Services LLC for internet service supporting the District of Columbia District Court, with a potential total value of $72,499 over the base and option periods. Additionally, the USMS issued a $17,679 firm-fixed-price purchase order to Crown Castle Fiber LLC (doing business as Lightower Fiber Networks) for the FY24-28 D14 BTOOLKIT(ITD) BRIDGEPORT project, covering telecommunications services and fiber optic infrastructure in Bridgeport, Connecticut. These telecommunications contracts demonstrate the agency's commitment to maintaining robust communications capabilities essential for its law enforcement and judicial security operations.
