US Marshals Service Southern MS

The U.S. Marshals Service, Southern Mississippi, a sub-office of the Department of Justice's law-enforcement and fugitive-apprehension arm, procures operational and administrative goods and services in support of regional judicial security and fugitive operations. Since 2010, the office has awarded 278 contracts totaling $2.8 million in combined potential value, with $2.2 million obligated to date. Recent activity runs at 10 awards per year on average over the last five years (13 awards in 2022, 9 in 2023, 9 in 2024, 10 in 2025, and 9 year-to-date in 2026), with the most recent award on October 1, 2026.

The competitive landscape is highly fragmented by both award count and potential value. Undisclosed domestic awardees hold 46 of the last five years' 50 awards and account for $632 thousand of identified value; named contractors (Cellco Partnership, Wynnpro LLC, Combined Systems Inc., and Huxwrx Safety Co. LLC) each hold single awards in the thousands of dollars. The top five contractors by potential value account for 25 percent of recent combined potential value, indicating a long tail of small, one-off vendor relationships typical of regional federal purchasing. Fifty-two distinct prime contractors have been awarded since 2010.

Ninety-eight percent of awards carry no set-aside designation; the remaining 2 percent split between small-business set-asides (3 awards) and 8(a) contracting (2 sole-source and 1 competitive). The low set-aside penetration reflects the office's procurement volume and operational focus. The source does not identify recent contract opportunities or sub-office contracting offices.
