US Marshals Service Northern IL

The Department of Justice US Marshals Service Northern Illinois is a field office of the federal law enforcement agency responsible for fugitive apprehension, witness security, court operations, and prisoner transport, procuring goods and services in support of regional investigative and detention operations.

The Northern Illinois office has awarded 423 federal contracts since 2007, with $13.6 million in combined potential value and $8 million obligated to date. Recent activity shows 17 awards in 2022, 54 in 2023, 27 in 2024, 28 in 2025, and 25 year-to-date in 2026. Among 151 awards in the last five years, 13 (9 percent) carry no reported potential value, indicating transactional activity through Schedule task orders, BPA calls, modifications, or below-threshold purchase orders typical of operational spending at this scale.

The competitive landscape is highly fragmented across 97 distinct prime contractors. The top five by recent award count, led by Domestic Awardees (Undisclosed) with 124 awards worth $2.6 million combined potential value, cover 91 percent of recent awards by count. By potential value, however, the top five cover only 27 percent of combined value, with Domestic Awardees again leading at $2.6 million, followed by Interactive Design Inc. at $562 thousand and Brock Construction Inc. at $198 thousand across their respective awards. This divergence suggests a mix of small-dollar operational purchases and occasional larger projects distributed across the contractor base.

The award portfolio is heavily skewed toward unrestricted competition: 96 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation, 3 percent are small-business set-asides, and single awards appear under HUBZone, Woman-Owned Small Business, and partial small-business categories. The contracting activity reflects the office's operational mission — facilities support, communications equipment, and law enforcement consumables — rather than major systems integration or development work.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded in the source data. Businesses seeking work at this office should monitor GSA Schedules, federal BPA vehicles, and spot solicitations posted through SAM.gov or the Northern Illinois procurement office's local channels, as the award pattern suggests reliance on standing contracts and task order issuance rather than large open competitions.
