US Marshals Service Eastern LA

The Department of Justice US Marshals Service Eastern LA is a civilian sub-agency within the Justice Department that procures goods and services to support federal law enforcement operations in the Eastern Louisiana district. The Service carries out fugitive apprehension, prisoner transport, court security, and asset-management functions and sources contracts to support these core missions.

The Eastern LA office has awarded 235 federal contracts since 2010, with combined potential value of $5 million and $4.7 million in obligated dollars (94% of potential value). Recent activity runs at a steady pace: 12 awards in 2022, 14 in 2023, 12 in 2024, 10 in 2025, and 11 so far in 2026. Forty-three distinct prime contractors have been awarded over the portfolio lifetime.

Over the last five years, competitive concentration is highly fragmented by both award count and by-value metrics. Domestic awardees—recorded in the source as undisclosed—account for 50 recent awards worth $759 thousand in combined potential value and represent the largest award-count leader. Patton Contractors Inc. ranks first by potential value at $1.5 million across 2 awards, followed by the domestic awardee block at $759 thousand across 50 awards. The top five primes by award count control 95 percent of recent awards; the top five by value control only 48 percent of combined potential value, reflecting a long tail of smaller contractors and transaction-level suppliers. Five recent awards carry no reported potential value, typical of Schedule task orders, BPA calls, modifications, or below-threshold purchase orders.

Set-asides are minimal in this portfolio: 94 percent of awards use no set-aside designation, 6 percent are small-business set-asides (13 awards), and 1 award (0%) is an 8(a) sole-source. The remaining 1 award carries no set-aside data.

No recent contract opportunities or grant opportunities are recorded against the Eastern LA office in the source data. The most recent recorded award date is October 1, 2026.
