RFI - Ballistic Resistant Equipment Disposal/Recycle Requirement

The US Marshals Service Procurement Division is conducting market research on ballistic resistant equipment disposal and recycling services, with responses due by July 31, 2026, under a total small business set-aside.

USMS Training Division seeks vendors capable of disposing of and recycling soft armor, rifle plates, helmets, shields, ballistic blankets, armor carriers, pouches, and patches, including execution of Certificates of Disposal. The service supports the agency's mission to outfit Deputy U.S. Marshals with body armor for courthouse protection, fugitive apprehension, and witness security operations.

The submission must include company name, GSA Schedule contract number (if applicable), Entity ID and CAGE Code, physical and mailing addresses, business size classification for NAICS 562211, suggested NAICS and PSC codes, verified or certified socioeconomic status, and point of contact.
