US Marshals Service ID

The U.S. Marshals Service, a sub-agency of the Department of Justice, procures goods and services to support federal law enforcement operations, including prisoner transport, court security, and fugitive apprehension. The Service executes contracts across domestic and international locations under DoJ acquisition authority.

Contract activity at the Marshals Service remains modest in scale. The agency has awarded 302 contracts cumulatively since 2011, with recent activity holding steady at 14 to 18 awards per year — 14 awards in 2022, 18 in 2023, 16 in 2024, 17 in 2025, and 14 year-to-date in 2026. Combined potential value across the portfolio stands at $3.7 million, of which $3 million (81%) is obligated. The most recent award closed on October 1, 2026.

Competitive concentration is highly fragmented. Domestic awardees with undisclosed names hold 77 of the most recent 79 awards (97% by count) and account for $725 thousand in combined potential value, but the top-five primes by potential value together hold only 21 percent of combined spending. The identified named primes — Cellco Partnership (1 award, $49 thousand) and Montana Armament Group LLC (1 award, $16 thousand) — represent minimal dollar presence. Thirty-eight distinct prime contractors have received awards across portfolio history, indicating that while near-term activity concentrates among a small set of undisclosed awardees, the long-tail of primes remains broad.

Set-asides are virtually absent. Ninety-nine percent of awards (300 out of 302) carry no set-aside designation; small-business set-asides account for 1 percent (2 awards). This pattern reflects the agency's procurement of specialized law-enforcement goods and services that typically flow through open competition rather than small-business reserves.
