US Marshals Service DE

The Department of Justice US Marshals Service Delaware is a sub-agency of the Justice Department that contracts for operational support, equipment, and facility services in direct support of federal law enforcement and prisoner-custody missions. The Marshals Service has awarded 72 contracts cumulatively since October 2009, generating $1.2 million in combined potential value with $1.1 million obligated. Recent activity is sparse: the agency issued 2 awards in 2022, 3 in 2023, 1 in 2024, 2 in 2025, and 1 year-to-date in 2026, with the most recent award dated September 18, 2026.

The contract portfolio is highly fragmented across 39 distinct prime contractors. Over the last five years, no single vendor dominates: the top five primes by award count — Domestic Awardees (Undisclosed) with 3 awards totaling $22 thousand, Sage International LTD, Executive Wood Products Inc., Cellco Partnership, and Glock Inc., each with 1 award — account for 78 percent of recent awards but only 9 percent of combined potential value by recent transactions. The low-dollar value profile and thin competitive concentration by value reflects the agency's procurement pattern: individual contracts are small, typically in the tens of thousands of dollars or below. Cellco Partnership leads by recent potential value at $41 thousand.

Contract awards show minimal set-aside activity. Eighty-one percent of awards carry no set-aside designation, while 18 percent are Total Small Business set-asides and 1 percent are Partial Small Business set-asides. The Marshals Service does not transact heavily through small-business carve-outs relative to unrestricted awards.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded against the agency. The procurement cadence and low transaction volumes suggest the Marshals Service Delaware conducts its contracting through routine operational needs — uniforms, equipment, facility maintenance, telecommunications — rather than through formal competitive solicitations open to the broader contractor community. Business-development professionals should monitor the agency for sporadic small-value opportunities or consider engagement if pre-positioned under relevant GSA Schedules or supply-agreement vehicles; however, sustained pursuit of this sub-agency alone is unlikely to generate material pipeline activity.
