District of Alaska - Guard Transportation Services

The United States Marshals Service (USMS), District of Alaska, is soliciting capability statements from qualified contractors to provide secure prisoner transportation support services in Anchorage, Alaska. The services require armed transportation officers and contractor-owned secure vehicles to transport federal detainees between detention facilities and U.S. Federal Court locations during regular business hours (Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM). Contractors must demonstrate extensive qualifications, including background investigations for all personnel, firearms and less-than-lethal device certifications, comprehensive training on restraint protocols and prisoner handling procedures, and an existing operational presence in Anchorage. The evaluation criteria emphasize timeliness, safety, security protocol compliance, and responsiveness to last-minute transport requests. Interested parties must submit written capability statements by November 24, 2025, at 5:00 PM Eastern Standard Time to arness.harris@usdoj.gov as a Microsoft Word or PDF attachment; this pre-solicitation notice is not a formal solicitation but rather an opportunity for responsible sources to express capability and demonstrate how competition would benefit the Government.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and does not identify any incumbent contractor or potential award value in the pre-solicitation notice. The contract will operate on a time-and-materials basis with a 12-month base period followed by a 12-month option period, providing flexibility for the Government to extend services as needed. Transportation services are expected to occur during regular court hours with availability required on short notice, and the contractor must maintain monthly reporting and invoicing procedures while adhering to detailed quality control measures established by the USMS. The NAICS code is 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), and the Product Service Code is V127 (Transportation/Travel/Relocation—Security Vehicle). All costs associated with preparing and submitting capability statements are the sole responsibility of the respondent and will not be reimbursed by the Government.
