Donnell Sam

Donnell R. Sam serves as a Contract Specialist within the Isb Procurement Division of the U.S. Marshals Service, part of the Department of Justice. In this role, he manages the acquisition of critical operational assets and services essential to federal law enforcement missions, including court security, fugitive apprehension, and witness protection. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of procurement—from requirements determination and market research to solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration—ensuring compliance with FAR and agency-specific regulations. He primarily handles complex service and equipment contracts supporting technical infrastructure, personnel safety, and investigative capabilities. While specific contractor names are not publicly identified, Donnell maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses and specialized firms delivering background investigation services, computer systems, and security equipment. His procurement approach emphasizes transparency, competitive bidding, and performance-based outcomes, fostering partnerships with vendors capable of meeting stringent federal security and operational standards. Donnell demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of his contracts remain open to all competitors, his consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity and enhance vendor diversity within the law enforcement support ecosystem. His procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), 561611 (Investigation and Personal Background Check Services), and 334511 (Search and Detection System Manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in technology-enabled law enforcement solutions, forensic support services, and secure hardware systems. He routinely acquires custom software, surveillance equipment, and personnel vetting services that directly enable mission-critical operations across the U.S. Marshals Service.
