Description
Background The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) serves to protect, defend, and enforce the American justice system and is a key component within the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Asset Forfeiture Program (AFP). Asset forfeiture plays a critical role in disrupting and dismantling illegal enterprises, depriving criminals of the proceeds of illegal activity, deterring crime, and restoring property to victims.
As a component of the AFP, the USMS provides vital support to U.S. Attorney’s Offices and investigative agencies by assisting with pre-seizure planning and investigations. Additionally, the USMS serves as the primary custodial agency of the AFP. As part of its custodial responsibilities, the USMS inventories, manages, safeguards, and handles the disposition of seized and forfeited assets.
Requirement and Request for Information The USMS has a specific requirement for the transport, intake, appraisal/authentication, storage, and disposal of seized and/or forfeited jewelry, art, antiques, and collectibles (JAAC) throughout the United States. The coverage area for these assets includes the 94 USMS Districts within the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands.
