Crb-Pls, LLC

Crb-Pls, LLC, a woman-owned small business based in O'Brien, Florida, provides real estate title services—including title abstracts, policies, commitments, mineral title reports, mapping, and expert witness testimony—to the federal government as a prime contractor, with 100% of recent awards held directly by the firm and zero subcontract exposure. The company operates exclusively in full-and-open federal procurements; no recent awards carry small business set-aside designations despite its woman-owned status and demonstrated small business capacity.

Crb-Pls' customer concentration is extreme and narrowly focused on Army Corps of Engineers real estate and border security work. The top five funding agencies account for 98% of recent awards by count and 99% by potential value, with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Fort Worth dominating at 121 awards and $34.3 million in combined potential value, followed distantly by the Army Corps of Engineers (standalone agency contracting) at 32 awards and $3.5 million, and the Department of the Army at 5 awards and $7.2 million. The firm also holds material exposure to a single nine-figure Corps contract: a $10 million potential-value award from the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Memphis, though this represents a single outlier in an otherwise Texas-centric, border-focused portfolio. The Department of Justice Environment and Natural Resources Division (3 awards, $921 thousand) represents the vendor's only non-Army customer of scale, through expert witness service contracts.

Crb-Pls operates almost exclusively through Blanket Purchase Agreements with the Army Corps of Engineers. The two largest parent vehicles are BPA W9126G19A0029 (61 task orders, $5.1 million combined potential value, awarded pre-2024 and now mature) and BPA W9126G24A0002 (44 task orders, $5.2 million combined potential value, the current Southern Border 2025 vehicle awarded in August 2024 through August 2029). A $7 million single-award BPA (W9126G24A0002) established in August 2024 and running through August 2029 serves as the primary vehicle for title services supporting the Corps' real estate and civil works programs, with individual task orders ranging from roughly $2,000 to $218,700. Crb-Pls also holds positions on older, lower-value BPAs including W9126G13A0046 (18 task orders, $722 thousand) and W9126G17A0004 (12 task orders, $6.5 million), though these appear largely exhausted or approaching completion.

Activity has been highly volatile. The vendor recorded 8 awards in 2022, 19 in 2023, a sharp drop to 7 in 2024, then explosive growth to 42 in 2025, before falling to 5 awarded in 2026 year-to-date through early March. This volatility reflects task-order-driven work under maturing BPA vehicles rather than steady organic growth; the 2025 spike corresponds to rapid issuance of Southern Border 2025 title calls across multiple Rio Grande Valley and Texas border counties (Starr, Hidalgo, Cameron, Maverick, Webb, Val Verde, Zapata, Kinney) in support of U.S. Customs and Border Protection border wall construction. Only 3 awards (combined potential value $133 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete cliff exposure. However, the $7 million primary vehicle runs through August 2029, and the older W9126G19A0029 BPA (61 prior task orders) is the exhausted foundation of past activity; future pipeline depends entirely on sustained demand from the Corps for border security and real estate title work.

Crb-Pls' capability portfolio, grounded entirely in award history, centers on title abstract and settlement services (181 of 184 awards classified under NAICS 541810 — Title Abstract and Settlement Offices). Representative contracts include a $218,700 Rio Grande Valley H Project title call for border wall support (September 9, 2025), a $680,062 expert witness services purchase order from the Department of Justice Environment and Natural Resources Division (January 30, 2026, time and materials through February 1, 2031), a $166,050 Southern Border 2025 title call for Webb and Zapata Counties (September 15, 2025), and a $70,390 Rio Grande Valley title abstracts and mapping call (June 22, 2023). The firm has also issued small-dollar calls for interim title binders, tax identification cards, mineral title searches, vesting deeds, and curative services, indicating a full-service real estate title shop. All work is performed at the O'Brien, Florida location; place of performance is consistent across the portfolio despite geographic spread of titled properties across Texas and select other southern states.

Crb-Pls has been registered in SAM.gov since 2012 and has built a sustained, single-customer dependency on the Army Corps of Engineers Fort Worth District over thirteen years. The vendor competes without set-aside protection, holds a single dominant BPA vehicle through mid-2029, and derives 98% of activity from a single organization. This creates acute customer concentration risk: pipeline visibility beyond the current Southern Border 2025 initiative is unclear, and the two-year recompete cliff of only $133 thousand indicates no major vehicle recontest signaled in near-term award data.
