US Marshals Service Northern AL

The Department of Justice US Marshals Service Northern AL is a civilian field office within the federal law enforcement and judicial support hierarchy, procuring goods and services to support the Northern Alabama region's marshals operations. The Northern AL office has issued 194 federal contract awards since 2008, with combined potential value of $4.7 million and $3.1 million in obligated dollars across 42 distinct prime contractors. Recent activity shows 9 awards in 2022, 4 in 2023, 12 in 2024, 11 in 2025, and 10 so far in 2026, with the most recent award issued on 2026-10-01.

The competitive landscape is highly concentrated by award count but highly fragmented by potential value. Over the last five years, unnamed domestic awardees dominate by count with 36 awards worth $740 thousand combined potential value, covering 91 percent of recent award activity. By contract value, these same domestic awardees represent only 22 percent of recent combined potential value, with Architects Group Inc. emerging as a secondary value leader at $142 thousand across a single award. Raven Services Corp, Charter Communications Operating LLC, Cellco Partnership, and Comcast Government Services LLC round out the recent top tier, each with one to three awards valued between $9 thousand and $64 thousand. The unnamed domestic awardees' high award count with relatively low reported value suggests the office transacts frequently through small or below-threshold purchases that may obscure vendor concentration.

The set-aside mix is minimal, with 97 percent of awards issued with no set-aside designation and only 3 percent (6 awards) falling under Total Small Business set-asides. No recent contract opportunities are recorded against this office in the current solicitation pipeline. For business development purposes, this office represents low-volume, tactical procurement activity with a working vendor base of occasional repeat awardees rather than established primes. Firms should monitor for small-dollar task orders and supply requisitions rather than expect solicited competitions.
