US Marshals Service MA

The United States Marshals Service Massachusetts District operates as a component of the Department of Justice, serving as the federal law enforcement agency responsible for judicial security, fugitive apprehension, prisoner transport, and asset forfeiture within the Massachusetts federal judicial district. The service provides security for federal courts, protects federal judges and other court personnel, apprehends federal fugitives, transports federal prisoners, and manages seized assets. As part of the broader United States Marshals Service mission, the Massachusetts district maintains operational capabilities to support federal law enforcement activities and ensure the proper functioning of the federal judicial system within its geographic jurisdiction.

Recent contracting activity demonstrates the Massachusetts district's focus on security infrastructure, operational equipment, and personnel support services. The largest single award involved facilities improvement, specifically a $146,229 contract with The Aulson Company for guard shack replacement at the Moakley Federal Courthouse in Boston. Additionally, the district procured specialized operational equipment including mission-critical launchers valued at $17,077 from Huxwrx Safety Company for fugitive apprehension operations, and binoculars worth $10,169 from Pixametric Solutions LLC under a General Services Administration Federal Supply Schedule contract.

The predominant contracting pattern involves multiple awards for district guard support services, with thirteen separate purchase orders ranging from $17,500 to $29,750 awarded primarily to undisclosed domestic contractors for fiscal year 2025 operations. These labor-hour contracts support essential security functions including guarding and processing federal prisoners in cellblocks and courtrooms, prisoner transport services, and protection of federal, seized, or forfeited property. The consistent awarding of these guard support contracts indicates ongoing operational requirements for supplemental security personnel to support the district's core law enforcement and judicial security mission throughout the Massachusetts federal court system.
