The procurement is managed by the Court’s Procurement Department based in Washington, DC, with primary point of contact available via email and phone.

Responses will not be treated as formal offers or proposals, and no award is guaranteed. The agency, part of the Judicial Branch, is seeking to better understand the availability and scope of services in the private sector to enhance its procurement efficiency and vendor diversity.
