About this file

This is an Amendment of Solicitation/Modification of Contract (Standard Form 30) issued by the United States Marshals Service (USMS) for RFP 15M10526RA4700002 to provide court security officer services for Circuits 1, 3, 4, 5, and 8 of the Federal Judiciary.

Amendment 0002, effective June 1, 2026, provides a corrected Section M—Evaluation Factors for Award, specifically addressing Item 2.3 Phase III, Criteria 3 regarding Price evaluation. The Government intends to award one IDIQ Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour contract for each Circuit to the responsible offeror whose proposal represents best value. Each contract consists of a twelve-month base period, four twelve-month option periods, and an additional six-month extension. Evaluation will occur across three phases: Phase I (Written Questions), Phase II (Slide Presentation/Four Elements/Interactive Dialogue), and Phase III (Pricing). Phase I and Phase II evaluations combined constitute the Technical Capability factor, which is significantly more important than price; however, award may not necessarily go to the lowest-priced proposal.

For pricing evaluation purposes, offerors must apply published Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) rates for hourly wages and benefits for October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026, for the base year and all ordering periods, with no other direct labor rates incorporated beyond September 30, 2026. Offerors must provide fully burdened hourly rates for all circuits and designated sites and submit complete pricing templates, with partially submitted or omitted price offers evaluated as unacceptable and subject to disqualification. The Government reserves the right to evaluate and award each Circuit/District independently and to analyze all offers for unbalanced pricing. The Contracting Officer is Pamela J. Sullivan; administration is by Angie Comstock at the Judicial Support Branch, Court Security Section, United States Marshals Service.

SECTION M – EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

1. Basis for Award

The Government intends to award one IDIQ Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour contract for each Circuit to the responsible Offeror whose proposal represents the best value to the Government. Each contract will consist of a twelve (12) month base period, four (4) Twelve (12)-month option periods, and the additional six (6)-month extension pursuant to FAR 52.217-8.

1. Phase I, Written Questions

2. Phase II, Slide Presentation/Four Elements/Interactive Dialogue

3. Phase III, Pricing

Phase I and Phase II evaluation criteria, when combined, constitute the Technical Capability evaluation factor.

All non-price evaluation criteria, when combined, are significantly more important than Phase III – Price. As competing proposals become more equal in non-price merit, Price will become increasingly important in the award decision. However, award may not necessarily be made to the lowest priced proposal.

2. Evaluation Criteria

Technical Capability evaluations under Phase I and Phase II will utilize the confidence assessment methodology described below.

Table 1 – Confidence Ratings

High Confidence The Government has high confidence that the Offeror understands the requirement, proposes a sound approach, and will be successful in performing the contract with little or no Government intervention.

Some Confidence The Government has some confidence that the Offeror understands the requirement, proposes a sound approach, and will be successful in performing the contract with some Government intervention.

Low Confidence The Government has low confidence that the Offeror understands the requirement, does not propose a sound approach, or will be successful in performing the contract even with Government intervention.

Offerors are strongly encouraged to submit their best technical solutions and price in response to this Request for Proposal (RFP).

2.1. Phase I and Phase II, Criteria 1

The Offeror’s technical approach will be evaluated based upon their understanding of the objectives of the Statement of Work (SOW) and planned execution of the project. This refers to the manner in which the Offeror proposes to plan, manage, control, and provide the services and deliverables. The extent to which the Offeror demonstrates a solid understanding of addressing anticipated problems, issues, constraints, organizations and system(s) involved, and the approach and methodologies proposed to ensure successful accomplishment of all tasks in the SOW will be evaluated. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s proposed technical approach based on their demonstrated understanding of the objectives of the SOW and planned execution of the project and will be assigned a confidence rating. The following elements will be evaluated:

1. Element 1- Recruitment and Vetting Program

2. Element 2- Training and Qualification Program

3. Element 3- Quality Assurance/Quality Control Plan

4. Element 4- Phase In Plan

All technical elements are of equal importance

2.2. Phase II, Criteria 2

The Government will assess its confidence that the Offeror will successfully perform the work, by evaluating the Offeror’s demonstrated performance from three contracts/orders performed within the past five (5) years (from the date of this RFP release). Prior performance will be evaluated to assess the expectation of successful outcomes based on the extent to which the Offeror has successfully performed services similar in size, scope, and complexity to the court security requirements.

1. Past performance information will be evaluated as part of the Government’s assessment of performance confidence. The past performance evaluation factor assesses the Offeror's ability to supply products and services that meet USMS' needs, based on a demonstrated record of performance. Offerors shall identify customer points of contact, contract dollar values, scope descriptions, and relevance to the current requirement.

Offerors shall submit up to (3) past performance summaries of Government projects worked on within the past five (5) years of similar size, scope, and complexity. Each narrative past performance summary shall contain the following information:

1. Contract/task order title

2. Contract/task order number

3. Type of contract (e.g., CPAF, FFP, T&M, etc.)

4. Planned period of performance

5. Actual period of performance

6. Original value

Past Performance will be evaluated on a pass/fail basis and verified utilizing assessments from the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS)

PAST

PERFORMANCE

DESCRIPTION

PASS

The offeror has demonstrated a satisfactory or better rating in CPARS for each of the past performance projects that have been submitted.

FAIL

The offeror has one or more ratings in CPARS that is less than satisfactory for one or more of the past performance projects that have been submitted

UNKNOWN

In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of Pass/Fail, “Unknown” shall be considered “Pass”

2.3. Phase III, Criteria 3, Price

The Government will perform a price analysis of the offeror’s business/price proposal in accordance with FAR Part 15. The Government will also evaluate proposals to determine price reasonableness pursuant to FAR Subpart 15.4, Contract Pricing.

For evaluation and award purposes only, the offeror shall apply the published Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBA) for hourly wage and benefit rates for the period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026, for the base year and all ordering periods. A price adjustment may be requested in accordance with FAR 52.222-43, Fair Labor Standards Act and Service Contract Act – Price Adjustment (Multiple Year and Option Contracts) as new CBA rates are published. Offerors shall not incorporate any other direct labor rates into their price proposal for any period beyond September 30, 2026.

The Government also requires the offeror to provide fully burdened hourly rates for the Circuits proposed to include all sites designated under a given Circuit.

Offerors are also cautioned that partially submitted or omitted price offers will be evaluated as unacceptable and may be disqualified from further consideration for award. The Pricing Template and Pricing Schedule shall be completed in its entirety, see Section J, Attachment 1(D) and Attachment 1(E).

For award purposes, the Government reserves the right to evaluate and award each Circuit/District independently and the offeror’s overall price for the base period and the respective four ordering periods plus one six-month option period via FAR 52.217-8. This information must be presented on the Pricing Template provided in Section J, Attachment 1(E). The total evaluated price will consist of the following:

NOTE: For evaluation purposes, the base period will consist of 12 months. Likewise, each subsequent option period will consist of 12 months.

1. Base Contract Period- The unit prices proposed for the Fully Burdened Hourly Rate, listed in Section J, Attachment 1(D), shall be multiplied by the corresponding estimated number of positions.

2. Ordering Periods- The price for each Option Period will be determined in the same manner as those for the Base Contract Period using the same CBA rates as described above.

3. Price Proposal- The Offerors’ price proposal will be used to determine whether the ceiling rates proposed for each labor category are fair and reasonable in order to establish ceiling rates for sole-source Time and Material/Labor Hour contract types per Circuit.

All offers with separately priced line items or subline items shall be analyzed to determine if the prices are unbalanced. Unbalanced pricing exists where the prices of one or more line items are significantly overstated or understated, despite an acceptable total evaluated price. Offers may be rejected if the CO determines the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

1. Exchanges- The Government does not intend to hold discussion but reserves the right to hold them if necessary.
