1 GENERAL

1.1 Introduction

The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) serves to protect, defend, and enforce the American justice system and is a key component within the United States (U.S.) Department of Justice (DOJ) Asset Forfeiture Program (AFP). Asset forfeiture plays a critical role in disrupting and dismantling illegal enterprises, depriving criminals of the proceeds of illegal activity, deterring crime, and restoring property to victims. The effective use of both criminal and civil asset forfeiture is an essential component of the DOJ’s efforts to combat the most sophisticated criminal actors and organizations including terrorist financiers, cyber criminals, fraudsters, human traffickers, and transnational drug cartels.

The USMS is the primary custodian of seized assets for the DOJ AFP. Such assets include, but are not limited to real estate, jewelry, art, antiques, collectibles, vehicles, vessels, aircraft, animals, cash, financial instruments, and cryptocurrency. In addition to core fiduciary responsibilities associated with the management and disposal of assets, the USMS also provides vital support to the United States Attorney’s Offices (USAO) and seizing agencies (SA) by assisting with pre-seizure planning and financial investigations. As a world leader in asset management and disposal, the USMS also receives requests for technical assistance from countries around the world.

As the DOJ custodian of all seized and forfeited assets, this contract will support the USMS in providing national and international relocation, storage, maintenance, assessment, consultation, and disposal services for unforeseen, emerging, or specialized asset categories. Such assets include, but are not limited to:

• Chemicals

• Pharmaceuticals

• Hazardous materials

• Electronic cigarettes (e-Cigarettes) and vaping products

• Domain names

• IP addresses and digital assets

• Rare livestock

• Racehorses

• Exotic animals

• Heavy equipment

• Gambling Machines

• Specialized vehicles and aircraft (e.g. e-Bikes, Drones)

• Negotiable Instruments (including checks, promissory notes, and money orders)

• Derivatives

• Real estate with encumbrances

• Commodities (including natural resources)

• Rights

• Titles

• Specialized business holdings

• Proprietary technology

1.2 Objective
