Quick Summary

The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) Justice Prisoner and Air Transportation System (JPATS) is soliciting proposals for the purchase of one (1) Boeing 737-700 or 737-800 aircraft. This acquisition is a combined synopsis/solicitation and requires offerors to also provide an offer to purchase a JPATS-owned Boeing 737-400 aircraft and spare parts as a mandatory requirement. The estimated total value for the new aircraft is $30 Million. Proposals are due by April 20, 2026, at 1:00 p.m.

Scope of Work

Offerors must propose either a Boeing 737-700 or 737-800 aircraft that meets detailed technical specifications, including 14 CFR Part 25 compliance, a current FAA Standard Airworthiness Certificate, less than 40,000 cycles, a minimum of 132 "Tourist Class" seats, a comprehensive Collins Avionics Suite, and specific CFM56 engines with at least 5,000 cycles remaining. The new aircraft must be delivered within 12 weeks after contract award. A critical component of this solicitation is the mandatory requirement for offerors to submit an offer to purchase a JPATS-owned Boeing 737-400 aircraft and its associated spare parts, sold "AS IS, WHERE IS." The Q&A clarifies this offer can be as low as $1.

Contract Details

  • Solicitation Number: 15M30026RA3700011
  • Contract Type: Firm Fixed-Price (FFP)
  • Set-Aside: Unrestricted
  • NAICS Code: 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing)
  • Size Standard: 1500 employees
  • Issuing Office: US Marshals Service JPATS FSD, Kansas City, MO

Evaluation Criteria

Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal represents the best value to the Government, considering price and other factors. The evaluation factors are:

  • Factor 1: Technical (Aircraft) and Delivery Schedule (More important than Factor 2)
  • Factor 2: Aircraft Sales Experience
  • Factor 3: Purchase of Existing JPATS Boeing 737-400 Aircraft and Spare Parts (Go/No-Go requirement; failure to provide an offer makes the proposal unacceptable)
  • Factor 4: Price of New Boeing 737-700 or 737-800 Aircraft Factors 1 and 2 combined are significantly more important than Factor 4 (Price). The Government may award to a higher-priced offeror to achieve a superior solution.

Submission Requirements & Key Dates

  • Proposals Due: April 20, 2026, 1:00 p.m. (CST)
  • Questions Due: April 6, 2026, 1:00 p.m. (CST)
  • Submission Method: All proposals must be submitted via email to Sheila.nimrod@usdoj.gov. No mail-in proposals will be accepted.
  • Proposal Format: Proposals must include a "Technical Proposal" (not to exceed 100 pages, excluding Maintenance Status Report) and a "Business/Price Proposal." Offerors other than small businesses must submit a small business subcontracting plan.
  • Contact: Sheila Nimrod, Sheila.nimrod@usdoj.gov, (816) 912-8068.

Additional Notes

Offerors must have an "Active" registration in SAM.gov prior to the offer due date. The Q&A document clarifies that physical inspection of the JPATS 737-400 aircraft is limited to visual inspection prior to the closing date, and physical inspection of spare parts is not permitted. The government has provided extensive documentation for the 737-400, including maintenance status reports and life-limited parts lists.
