Murray County Sheriff's Office

Murray County Sheriff's Office, a division of County of Murray doing business as Sheriff's Department, provides law enforcement services to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at federal recreation areas as a prime contractor under full-and-open purchase orders. As a U.S. local government entity (county sheriff's office) based in Chatsworth, Georgia, Murray County Sheriff's Office does not carry SBA designations and operates as a sole-source primary law enforcement provider for Carters Lake and subordinate federal recreation zones in Murray County.

The vendor's federal footprint is narrow and geographically focused. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers accounts for 20 of 22 total awards across the past several years, split between the Engineering District Mobile office (16 awards, $236 thousand combined potential value) and the broader Army Corps of Engineers structure (4 awards, $54 thousand combined potential value). A single $250 thousand five-year Project Grant award from the Department of Justice's Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) under the COPS Hiring Program (CFDA 16.068), effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2030, represents the only non-USACE federal engagement; this grant funds hiring and rehiring of career law enforcement officers and supports community policing capacity expansion, planned community partnerships, problem-analysis projects, and personnel management changes aligned with community policing strategies.

On the contract side, Murray County Sheriff's Office holds a recurring pattern of small firm-fixed-price purchase orders from USACE for patrol, enforcement of federal regulations, and public safety management at Carters Lake recreation areas. Recent awards include a $22 thousand May 2026 purchase order covering law enforcement services at nine recreation areas on Carters Lake (six within Murray County) with completion by September 7, 2026; a $19.2 thousand May 2025 purchase order for similar services with completion by September 8, 2025; a $28 thousand April 2024 contract covering weekends and holidays through October 27, 2024; and a $19.2 thousand May 2023 contract with completion by September 4, 2023. Annual award velocity has been flat at one award per year in 2022–2024, rising to two awards in 2025 and one in 2026. Combined potential value across all 22 awards stands at $318 thousand, though combined dollars obligated total $555 thousand, indicating historical de-obligations and closeouts. One award ($22 thousand) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The vendor operates entirely as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint and no parent contract vehicles, IDIQs, or GWACs listed in the source data.
