Priorities for Use of Supply Sources
Introduction
The United States Marshals Service (USMS) welcomes all Small, Women-Owned, Hub-Zone, Disadvantaged, Service-Disabled and Veteran-Owned businesses who are interested in doing business with our agency.
General information is provided at this web site on some of the routine commodities and services which the U.S. Marshals purchase regularly, including any cutting edge or innovative technological goods and services. We continuously strive to encourage the participation of all Small, Women-Owned, Disadvantaged, HUBZone, Service-Disabled and Veteran-Owned businesses to become partners with us while we meet the goals of our agency in the 21st century.
The USMS has implemented the Purchase Card credit card program through a General Services Administration contract with Bank One. All of our district offices and headquarters divisions are now using the credit card for small buys not exceeding $2,500. We are committed to the fullest use of the MasterCard credit card for routine small purchases and payment of goods and services. We strongly urge businesses that presently do not accept MasterCard buys and payments to consider the benefits and simplicity of credit card transactions. If interested in this opportunity, please contact Bank One at 1-888/297-0781 or via facsimile at 1-888/297-0785. They will provide you with the information and documentation that you will need in order to maximize your relationship with the USMS.
The USMS, in its ongoing search for qualified products and services, extends an invitation to Small, Women-Owned, HUBZone, Disadvantaged, Service-Disabled and Veteran-Owned Business Enterprises to inform us of your supplies or services, and to participate in future requests for proposals and quotations.
