Jewelry, Art, Antiques & Collectibles (JAAC)   3

Background
The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) is responsible for managing assets seized through law enforcement actions. The DOJ's Asset Forfeiture Program (AFP) aims to provide services related to the custody, management, and disposal of seized assets.

The United States Marshals Service (USMS) is seeking to increase the funding ceiling for an existing contract with Gaston & Sheehan Auctioneers, Inc. to ensure continuity of services while a re-competition effort is underway.

Work Details
The contract includes national and international transportation, storage, appraisal, and disposal services for seized and forfeited assets categorized under Jewelry, Art, Antiques, and Collectibles (JAAC). Specific tasks include:
1) Transportation of seized assets;
2) Travel arrangements related to asset management;
3) Storage solutions for various asset types;
4) Disposal services for forfeited items;
5) Appraisal services to determine the value of assets.

The contractor must maintain custody management control throughout the process and ensure compliance with legal requirements during seizures and disposals.

Period of Performance
The current contract period spans from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027.

Place of Performance
TX 78660 UNITED STATES

Bidder Requirements
The incumbent contractor, Gaston & Sheehan Auctioneers, Inc., has over 30 years of experience in providing similar services. They must demonstrate capabilities in life cycle management of assets including pre-seizure services and must have an established infrastructure for immediate response during asset seizures.

Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent, as it is tied to existing contract 15M50022DA4400016 with Gaston & Sheehan Auctioneers, Inc. (awarded value $15,700,073; 07/01/22–06/30/27), which provides national JAAC services for DOJ/USMS custody management of seized and forfeited assets. The prior work includes transportation, storage, appraisal, and disposal of JAAC items across USMS districts under 28 CFR 0.111, and the current effort is described as increasing the funding ceiling for that same JAAC scope—indicating continuity of the same mission-critical asset handling activities.
