Urgent need for aircraft at US Marshals Service

The United States Marshals Service, Investigative Operations Division, is seeking information from responsible sources and commercial agencies concerning the purchase of a used King Air 350i or Pilatus PC-12 aircraft to fulfill its unique mission objectives, according to contract documents released Tuesday. “The government is interested in communicating with industry early in the planning stages in complete transparency in an effort to satisfy this urgent government need,” the Marshals Service said in a Request For Information (RFI) document. “This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes; it does not constitute a Request for Proposal/Request for Quote or a promise to issue any kind of solicitation in the future.”

Interested parties are requested to respond to the Department of Justice no later than May 29.
