US Marshals Service IA

The Department of Justice U.S. Marshals Service is an independent component of the Justice Department that operates the federal marshal service and procures goods and services to support law enforcement, court security, and prisoner custody operations. The Marshals Service's contract portfolio totals ten awards across its entire history, with combined potential value of $2.2 million and $2 million obligated to date. Contract activity is sparse and episodic: one award in 2013, eight awards in 2016, and one award in September 2026; the most recent recorded award closed on September 21, 2026. All ten awards have gone to distinct prime contractors with no repeat awardees across the portfolio history, making the competitive landscape highly fragmented. Over the last five years, only one prime contractor appears in the awards record: Satellite Services Inc., which holds a single $8 thousand award. Seventy percent of the portfolio awards carry no set-aside designation, while the remaining thirty percent are Small Business set-asides; no awards are designated 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, or SDVOSB. The Marshals Service does not operate a grant program and funds no federal grant recipients.

The sparse and discontinuous contract volume — three awards over the last decade with long gaps between periods of activity — suggests the organization relies primarily on existing contracts, blanket purchase agreements, or schedule orders for routine procurements rather than competing new solicitations. The consistent rotation of new contractors and the absence of repeat winners indicate no established prime contractor relationships. No recent contract opportunities are recorded against the agency.
