Rbex, Inc.

Rbex, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Houston, Texas, operates as a prime contractor providing towing, storage, maintenance, appraisal, and disposal services for seized and forfeited vehicles to federal law enforcement agencies under firm fixed-price delivery orders and indefinite delivery contracts. The company competes predominantly full-and-open across its customer base, with most work flowing through small business set-asides on the U.S. Marshals Service portfolio and unrestricted competition on others.

Rbex's capability footprint is narrowly specialized: asset forfeiture vehicle management spanning the full lifecycle from seizure intake through final disposition, including secure storage, condition maintenance, asset appraisal, and vehicle disposal. The company has held continuous SAM.gov registration since 2003 and maintains operational infrastructure in Houston serving nationwide judicial districts. Representative work includes a $57.4 million firm fixed-price definitive contract with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (awarded December 2021, completing December 2028) for seized vehicle management along the Southwestern Border; a $6.7 million single-award IDC with the U.S. Marshals Service Asset Forfeiture Contracts Team for the Northern, Eastern, and Western Districts of Texas and Oklahoma (ceiling through December 2027); and a $2.75 million single-award IDC with USMS covering Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont (ceiling through September 2027).

Customer concentration is severe. The U.S. Marshals Service Asset Forfeiture Contracts Team accounts for 140 of 228 awards tracked in the award-count ranking (73% coverage), representing $117.6 million of combined potential value—roughly 46% of Rbex's total $257.1 million portfolio. The Drug Enforcement Administration (35 awards, $2.3 million) and regionally-specific USMS offices in Southern Texas, Arizona, and Maryland round out the active set. The concentration divergence between award count and dollar value reflects USMS's reliance on multiple smaller delivery orders under nationwide IDCs rather than a few large blanket purchases; the DEA maintains a $1 million blanket purchase agreement (September 2021 through September 2026) for Houston-area towing and storage services, but task order values remain modest.

Rbex's parent vehicle position rests entirely on single-award indefinite delivery contracts with USMS and one BPA with DEA. The vendor holds at least thirteen active IDIQs with USMS covering distinct judicial districts—Alabama/Arkansas/Mississippi/Tennessee ($6.17 million ceiling, through March 2028), Northern/Eastern/Western Texas and Oklahoma ($6.71 million, through December 2027), Connecticut/Maine/Massachusetts/New Hampshire/Rhode Island/Vermont ($2.75 million, through September 2027), and regional contracts for Maryland/Delaware/Virginia/DC/Pennsylvania ($2.44 million), Southern Texas/Louisiana ($3.05 million), New York/New Jersey ($1.59 million), Minnesota/North Dakota/Nebraska/South Dakota/Iowa ($1.79 million), and Pacific Northwest districts (Washington/Oregon/Idaho/Montana/Alaska, multiple ceilings ranging $236,888 to $499,967), among others. Task order activity under these IDCs has remained steady, averaging 16–25 awards per year across 2022–2025.

Activity trajectory shows modest volatility: 24 awards in 2022, declining to 16 in 2023, recovering to 17 in 2024, spiking to 25 in 2025, and 13 awards so far in 2026. Seventeen awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $8.2 million—primarily renewal delivery orders under existing IDICs rather than new competitive wins. This modest recompete exposure reflects the structural reality of Rbex's business: steady-state tasking under long-lived IDC umbrellas rather than discrete project competition.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue totaled $27.6 million across FY2023–FY2024 (no SCI activity reported in FY2022). FY2023 invoiced $15.8 million across 168 FTEs; FY2024 invoiced $11.9 million across 179 FTEs. Government-paid hourly rates on federal services contracts captured in SCI ran a median of $32.40 per hour, with rates spanning the 10th percentile at $18.05 per hour through the 90th percentile at $54.29 per hour—a profile consistent with field labor (towing operators, lot attendants, maintenance technicians) anchoring the lower end and supervisory or specialized asset-appraisal labor at the upper end. Rbex self-performs all reported contractor hours with zero subcontractor engagement across its SCI-reportable prime contracts. The company operates as a 100% prime contractor across its federal award footprint with no recorded subcontract roles.

Rbex competes substantially under small business set-asides, particularly on recent USMS IDIQ awards designated total small business set-aside at the contract vehicle level (though not all downstream delivery orders carry the designation). The company's $57.4 million CBP contract explicitly carries total small business set-aside. By contrast, many non-set-aside USMS delivery orders draw on small disadvantaged business status without formal set-aside barriers. This mixed posture—leveraging SDB certification to compete in both reserved and open categories—has anchored Rbex's concentration with law enforcement agencies managing asset forfeiture inventories at scale across federal districts.
