About this file

This is a Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13 Single Source Justification document from the United States Marshals Service (USMS) Asset Forfeiture Division. The document seeks to sole-source a contract to RBEX Inc. for towing, storage, maintenance, and disposal of seized/forfeited vehicles in the districts of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and Alaska for a 12-month period from January 7, 2026 to January 6, 2027. The contract has a ceiling of $499,999.99 and will cover various vehicle types including cars, trucks, vans, motorcycles, and specialty vehicles like all-terrain vehicles and jet skis.

The justification for single-source procurement stems from the current purchase order ending on January 6, 2025, and the Procurement Unit's inability to conduct a follow-on acquisition due to competing requirements and limited resource allocation. RBEX Inc. is deemed the only viable contractor due to its existing infrastructure, organizational capabilities, industry knowledge, and ability to immediately mobilize and support law enforcement agencies during vehicle seizures. The document includes certifications from the technical/requirements lead, a supervisory contracting officer, and the contracting officer, who approve proceeding with the single-source acquisition under FAR 13.106-1(b).

Applicable to procurements exceeding the Micro-purchase threshold but less than or equal to the Simplified Acquisition Threshold as authorized by FAR 13.106-1(b).

FAR Part 13 – Soliciting from a Single Source for Towing, Storage, Maintenance and Disposal of Seized and/or

Forfeited Vehicles – purchase order for the execution of the above stated services is ending on , 2025, and due to competing requirements and the Procurement Unit has been unable to conduct a follow-on acquisition . The current contractor RBEX Inc. successfully provides the ongoing services and has an existing infrastructure and organizational plan established to process this asset type. The incumbent has the capability to be at relocation sites with law enforcement agencies at time of seizure or post investigative custody to move the required motor vehicle to its existing storage facility. The incumbent has the industry knowledge to provide these services to the USMS, along with superior service. In addition, the vendor can provide all services and supplies immediately as it has an existing footprint and can mobilize immediately, as needed. This ability is invaluable from a law enforcement, governmental, and logistical perspective. This ability allows the USMS to act nimbly in any given situation and provide seamless services to the United States Government.

As previously stated, the incumbent is the only source that can provide the required services on an ongoing basis without unacceptable delay and interruption, which would otherwise result in significant adverse impact to the agency’s mission.

Therefore, the Government minimum needs can only be satisfied by RBEX Inc. until the re-competition effort gets underway for the new award to be released by QTR 202 .

I hereby certify that the anticipated price to the Government for this action will be determine fair and reasonable using the methods listed in FAR 13.106-3(a)(2) via market research, via comparison of the proposed price with prices found reasonable on previous purchases, and via comparison to an Independent Government Cost Estimate.

CERTIFICATIONS:

I certify that the facts and representation under my cognizance which are included in this justification are complete and accurate to the best of my knowledge and belief.
