The U.S. Marshals Service, a component of the Department of Justice (DOJ), has obligated $24,006,239.51 to Saliense Consulting LLC under contract 15M10423FA4700085 for IT security support services. The task order was signed August 18, 2023, with a period of performance running from September 30, 2023 through September 29, 2027 and a potential end date of March 29, 2029, according to federal award data published on USAspending.gov.

The award was made through full and open competition, drawing six offers under a multiple-award fair opportunity process, and was issued against parent indefinite-delivery vehicle 47QRAA18D00C0, a General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Acquisition Service Multiple Award Schedule contract. Saliense Consulting LLC is certified as a woman-owned small business (WOSB), and the award record notes the task order followed the vendor's proposal dated June 20, 2023.

The contract is classified under NAICS code 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services) and product/service code R699 (Support — Administrative: Other), and carries a time-and-materials pricing structure. The award record describes the work as IT security support services for the Marshals Service, procured through the agency's Office of Support Services.

The award illustrates a common path for small businesses into DOJ IT security work: rather than a stand-alone solicitation, the task order was competed among holders of an existing GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract, a route that lets agencies move faster than a full open-market procurement while still requiring documented competition among qualified schedule holders — in this case, six of them.
