About this file
This is a Soliciting from a Single Source Justification under FAR Part 13, issued by the United States Department of Justice, United States Marshals Service, Asset Forfeiture Division. The United States Marshals Service (USMS) requires towing, transporting, appraisal, storage, maintenance, and disposal services for seized and forfeited motor vehicles—including production-sized cars, trucks, vans, motorcycles, and specialty vehicles such as all-terrain vehicles, golf carts, jet skis, and trailer-able boats—in the Eastern, Middle, and Western Districts of Louisiana and the Southern District of Texas. The contract period runs for twelve months from February 18, 2026 through February 17, 2027, with a contract ceiling of $499,999.99. The sole-source awardee is RBEX Inc.
The justification cites FAR 13.106-1(b), establishing that only one awardee is capable of providing the required supplies or services. The primary rationale for single-source procurement is that the incumbent contractor's current purchase order expires February 17, 2026, and due to competing requirements and limited resource allocation, the Procurement Unit cannot conduct a follow-on competitive acquisition within the available timeline. RBEX Inc. is identified as the only source capable of providing required services on an ongoing basis without unacceptable delay or interruption, possessing existing infrastructure, organizational capabilities, established storage facilities, and industry knowledge essential to support law enforcement agency seizures. Fair and reasonable pricing will be determined through market research, comparison with previous purchase prices, and comparison to an Independent Government Cost Estimate. The Supervisory Contracting Officer and Contracting Officer have approved this justification, with re-competition anticipated by the second quarter of 2027.

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 , 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.
