How to bid on Managed Health Care Services for US Marshals Service
What the agency is buying and why it matters
The US Marshals Service is seeking information from companies that can provide nationwide managed healthcare services for prisoners. This includes managing medical, dental, and pharmacy claims across all 94 federal judicial districts.
A key requirement is processing and re-pricing claims to comply with federal law, specifically ensuring reimbursement rates do not exceed local Medicare Fee-for-Service or state Medicaid benchmarks. This is an opportunity for firms experienced in large-scale healthcare claims management and compliance.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This Request for Information (RFI) was published on July 15, 2026. Responses are due by August 07, 2026, at 12:00 PM ET.
At the deadline, the agency will stop accepting submissions. This RFI is for information gathering, meaning the agency is exploring the market and vendor capabilities, and it may lead to a formal solicitation later.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for professional service firms with expertise in nationwide healthcare delivery systems, particularly those with experience in managing medical, dental, and pharmacy claims.
Firms that can demonstrate compliance with government pricing rules, such as Medicare Fee-for-Service and Medicaid benchmarks, are especially encouraged to review this RFI. Small businesses capable of providing nationwide health insurance carrier services should consider responding.

Tips for preparing a competitive response
When responding to an RFI, focus on clearly articulating your firm's capabilities and experience relevant to the stated requirements. Highlight any past performance with similar nationwide healthcare claims management or government contracts.
Emphasize your understanding of and ability to comply with specific statutory requirements, such as the 18 U.S.C. § 4006 mandate for re-pricing claims. Provide concrete examples of how your system or services meet these needs. Even though it is an RFI, a well-structured and detailed response can position your firm favorably for future solicitations.
