About the company
The CBE Group, Inc., a for-profit division of CBE Companies, Inc. headquartered in Cedar Falls, Iowa, provides outsourced private debt collection, accounts receivable collections, and administrative resolution services to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) under full-and-open, non-set-aside contract vehicles.
The CBE Group operates entirely on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, competing without set-aside designation. Its primary capability portfolio centers on accounts receivable collections, credit bureau reporting, administrative wage garnishment, rehabilitation funding, consolidations, and administrative resolutions supporting federal debt collection efforts. The vendor delivers these services under firm fixed-price pricing from its Cedar Falls facility. Representative work includes a $400 million Federal Supply Schedule contract awarded by GSA Federal Acquisition Service on March 29, 2024, running through March 28, 2029; a $60 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Bureau of the Fiscal Service through January 4, 2031, awarded August 18, 2025; an $11.4 million delivery order from the Bureau of the Fiscal Service for Private Collection Agency Services Bridge Contract work awarded May 18, 2025; and a $12 million BPA call from the Bureau of the Fiscal Service for PCA services awarded January 5, 2026. The CBE Group holds NAICS classifications spanning Offices of Certified Public Accountants (14 awards) and Collection Agencies (10 awards), with primary PSC coding in debt collection support and financial/administrative services.
Customer concentration is pronounced. The Department of Education Office of Federal Student Aid anchors $668.6 million (41% of combined potential value) across five awards; the GSA Federal Acquisition Service holds $435 million across two vehicle awards; the Internal Revenue Service commands $356.7 million across five awards; and the Bureau of the Fiscal Service accounts for $167.8 million across eleven awards. These four customers represent 100% of the vendor's combined potential value. The top customers by award count (89% coverage) track closely with the top-customer dollar ranking, with slight variation driven by the GSA vehicle's large ceiling values.
Recent activity shows task-order velocity under the Multiple Award Schedule framework (21 task orders, $786.8 million combined potential value). The vendor's recompete exposure is minimal: only one award ($12 million combined potential value) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. SCI-reported federal service contract invoicing shows zero dollars across FY2022–FY2025, reflecting that the vendor's activity is structured as products and delivery orders under fixed-price GSA schedules rather than time-and-materials service contracts subject to SCI reporting thresholds. The vendor operates as a captive prime with no subcontractor engagement, building all delivery internally against federal customer requirements across debt collection and educational loan recovery programs.
