US Marshals Service DC

The Department of Justice US Marshals Service DC is a civilian federal law-enforcement sub-agency that procures equipment, supplies, and services to support marshal operations, fugitive apprehension, witness security, and courthouse security nationwide. The Marshals Service has awarded 1,041 federal contracts since 2008, with recent activity running at 73 to 80 awards annually through 2023, declining to 69 in 2024, rebounding to 76 in 2025, and 55 so far in 2026. Combined potential value across the portfolio stands at $34 million, with $26.2 million obligated to date.

The contracting landscape is highly fragmented. Over the last five years, domestic awardees with undisclosed identities captured 291 awards and $8.9 million in combined potential value—87 percent of recent award volume but only 31 percent of recent combined potential value—indicating a broad base of small transactions distributed across numerous vendors. Among disclosed primes, Hornady Manufacturing Company leads by recent award count with 8 awards totaling $796 thousand, followed distantly by Lionheart Alliance, LLC with 6 awards and $84 thousand and Aardvark with 3 awards and $40 thousand. Hornady also ranks second by recent potential value at $796 thousand; Cellco Partnership leads among disclosed primes by single-award value at $363 thousand. The 143 distinct prime contractors awarded across the all-time portfolio reflects sustained distribution across a deep vendor base. Across the five-year window, the top five disclosed and undisclosed awardees together account for approximately 31 percent of combined potential value, underscoring the dominance of the undisclosed domestic-awardee category and the absence of any named prime with material market share.

Set-aside activity is minimal. Ninety-three percent of awards carry no set-aside designation; small-business set-asides account for 7 percent of awards (68 total), with woman-owned small business and 8(a) sole-source each representing a single award.

The Marshals Service publishes no recent contract opportunities in the source record. No grant-making activity or recent grant opportunities are recorded against the agency.
