About this opportunity
The United States Marshals Service (USMS), Asset Forfeiture Division, issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) on February 13, 2026, for a sole-source bridge contract extension with Delta 21 Resources Inc. to provide comprehensive national animal care services through August 31, 2026. The contract encompasses seizure support, nationwide transportation, daily kennel boarding, veterinary treatment, food, behavioral assessments, disposal services, and expert witness testimony for canines involved in illegal fighting operations, with services required to be delivered within 48 hours of notification across all federal judicial districts. The USMS justified the sole-source award based on market research findings that identified Delta 21 as the only responsible vendor capable of providing immediate nationwide coverage with 48-hour mobilization capability while maintaining custody of 88 dogs currently in federal custody and preserving evidentiary continuity for active federal court cases. The contract carries an estimated ceiling value of $499,999.99 and utilizes Firm-Fixed-Price Contract Line Items for boarding and veterinary services supplemented by reimbursable Other Direct Costs. This bridge contract maintains operational continuity until the competitive recompete award is finalized, estimated for the third quarter of FY2026, with the current task order concluding on the contract award date of February 28, 2026.
