US Marshals Service MT

The Department of Justice US Marshals Service Montana is a sub-agency within the federal law-enforcement apparatus that procures goods and services to support U.S. Marshals operations, fugitive apprehension, court security, and asset forfeiture activities in the Montana field office. The office transacts through its parent agency's acquisition authority and procurement channels.

The Montana field office has awarded 440 federal contracts since 2007, with a combined potential value of $42.4 million and combined dollars obligated of $41.6 million (98% of potential value). Contract activity has remained steady over the last five years: 27 awards in 2022, 23 in 2023, 26 in 2024, 29 in 2025, and 23 year-to-date in 2026. Recent awards (last five years) include 12 of 128 with no reported potential value, typical of Schedule task orders, BPA calls, modifications, or below-threshold purchase orders that characterize federal law-enforcement procurement in field offices.

The competitive landscape is highly fragmented. Among the top five primes by award count over the last five years, "Domestic Awardees (Undisclosed)" account for 118 awards worth $931 thousand in combined potential value, while The Kinetic Group Sales LLC, General Dynamics – OTS, Inc., Cellco Partnership, and Aardvark each hold one to two awards. These five entities cover 97 percent of recent awards by count but only 3 percent of combined potential value, indicating that the portfolio is dominated by small-dollar, high-count transactions scattered across many vendors. The distribution reflects typical federal law-enforcement field-office procurement patterns: numerous small contracts for supplies, services, and minor equipment across a fragmented vendor base rather than large prime-contractor relationships.

The set-aside mix skews heavily toward unrestricted competition: 92 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation, while Small Business awards account for 8 percent and Woman-Owned Small Business for less than 1 percent. This composition suggests that most requirements fall outside traditional set-aside criteria or are below-threshold transactions.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded against the Montana office in the digest. Prospective vendors should monitor the Marshals Service's parent procurement channels and the GSA Schedule vehicle, which appears to be the primary acquisition mechanism for field-office requirements.
