The United States Marshals Service (USMS) Prisoner Operations Division is conducting market research to identify qualified contractors capable of providing on-site Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) for three detention facilities: Chesapeake Detention Facility in Baltimore, Maryland; Donald Wyatt Detention Facility in Central Falls, Rhode Island; and Cibola County Corrections in Milan, New Mexico. The primary objective is to ensure compliance with contractual obligations and humane treatment standards at these facilities through on-site monitoring and support services. Interested contractors must submit capability statements not exceeding eight pages (excluding cover page and introduction letter) formatted in Times New Roman 12-point font with 1-inch margins. Responses must include company information, technical expertise, technical and management approaches, corporate experience, and documented past performance from at least three customers within the last five years, with specific details regarding contract names, contracting agencies, yearly values, periods of performance, and work descriptions. The deadline for submitting responses is Friday, April 24, 2026, at noon Eastern Time, with questions due by Friday, April 17, 2026, at noon Eastern Time; all submissions and inquiries must be directed electronically to Ms. Tara Gray, Contract Specialist, at Tara.Gray@usdoj.gov.

This procurement carries no set-aside designations and is classified under NAICS code 561210 (Facilities Support Services). No incumbent contractor names or award value ranges are disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, as this phase represents market research to assess contractor availability and capability rather than a formal solicitation. The notice does not commit the government to any expenditures or proceed to contract award. Three detention facilities will each require on-site SME support, though the specific number of SME positions per facility and the anticipated contract duration have not been specified in this sources sought announcement. Contractors should be prepared to demonstrate expertise in detention and correctional management with the capacity to provide sustained on-site presence across multiple geographic locations.
