US Marshals Service Office of Finance

The Department of Justice US Marshals Service Office of Finance is a sub-agency procurement office within the Justice Department that executes contracts primarily for facility security, protective services, and administrative operations supporting the US Marshals Service mission. The Office of Finance centralized contracting activity for the parent organization and issues awards against its own authority.

The Office of Finance has obligated $618.6 million across 184 contract awards since 2014, with combined potential value of $633.6 million. Recent award volume has been volatile: 29 awards in 2021, 78 in 2022, 7 in 2023, 42 in 2024, and 1 award year-to-date in 2025. The most recent recorded award date is August 2025. Over the last five years, the Office of Finance contracted with 30 distinct prime contractors; the competitive landscape is highly concentrated, with the top five primes holding 94 percent of recent awards by count and 85 percent of combined potential value.

Metropolitan Security Services, Inc. dominates the portfolio with 80 awards totaling $363.6 million in potential value, capturing more than half of all activity. Centerra Group, LLC is the distant second performer with 29 awards worth $148.4 million. Paragon Systems Inc. holds six awards valued at $21.1 million. The remaining 27 primes account for very limited volume and value. Ninety-three percent of awards carry no set-aside designation; the remaining awards are 8(a) Sole Source (6 awards, 3 percent) or Competitive 8(a) (1 award, 1 percent). The Office of Finance has issued no recent contract opportunities on record. Pursuit is not recommended pending renewed solicitation activity; the heavy concentration among two incumbent contractors and the sharp decline in 2025 awards suggest either contract consolidation or a pause in new procurements.
