About the company

Rbex, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Houston, Texas, operates as a prime contractor delivering specialized asset forfeiture vehicle management services—including towing, storage, maintenance, appraisal, and disposal—to federal law enforcement agencies, with 100% of recent awards in the prime contracting posture and no subcontractor engagement across the federal portfolio.

The company's customer base is heavily concentrated with the U.S. Marshals Service Asset Forfeiture Contracts Team, which accounts for 146 awards (46% of the 320 total awards in the source data) and $122.5 million in combined potential value (47% of the $261.3 million total). The Drug Enforcement Administration and regional USMS offices—including the Southern Texas, Arizona, Massachusetts, and Eastern North Carolina divisions—represent secondary customer concentrations. This concentration in USMS asset forfeiture work reflects Rbex's position as the primary federal contractor for seized-vehicle logistics across the nation's judicial districts.

Rbex holds an extensive portfolio of single-award indefinite delivery contracts with the USMS Asset Forfeiture Contracts Team covering distinct geographic regions nationwide. Representative IDICs include a $6.7 million ceiling for the Northern, Eastern, and Western Districts of Texas and Oklahoma (ultimate completion December 2, 2027); a $6.2 million ceiling for the Districts of Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, and Kansas (March 18, 2028); a $2.4 million ceiling for the Districts of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont (September 25, 2027); a $1.8 million ceiling for the Districts of Minnesota, North Dakota, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Iowa (June 28, 2027); and a $3.0 million ceiling for the Southern District of Texas and Eastern, Middle, and Western Districts of Louisiana (February 17, 2025). Recent delivery orders under these vehicles range from $228 thousand to $1.5 million. Rbex also holds a $57.4 million definitive contract with U.S. Customs and Border Protection for seized-vehicle management along the Southwestern Border (ultimate completion December 31, 2028) and maintains a $1 million blanket purchase agreement with the DEA for Houston-area towing and storage services.

Activity has grown modestly over the past five years—from 16 awards in 2023 to 25 in 2025, with 20 awards recorded as of the source data refresh in 2026. Eighteen awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $8.9 million, representing recompete risk concentrated on USMS regional contracts and the CBP Southwestern Border vehicle program.

On federal service contracts captured in SCI, Rbex reported invoiced revenue of $15.8 million in FY2023, $11.9 million in FY2024, and $9.7 million in FY2025, declining year over year. The SCI dataset shows roughly 168 FTEs delivered to the federal government in FY2023, 179 in FY2024, and 159 in FY2025. On federal services contracts, government-paid hourly rates ran median around $32.40/hr, with junior labor pricing in the $18/hr range and senior positions through $54/hr. Rbex self-performs all SCI-reportable labor with zero subcontractor hours across the prime contract footprint, building its own field workforce of towing operators, lot attendants, maintenance technicians, and asset-appraisal staff. SCI is a strict subset of the vendor's federal services work; the full portfolio includes goods (towing equipment, storage facilities), products, and micro-purchases outside SCI reporting thresholds, and total federal revenue exceeds SCI-reported figures significantly.

The contract portfolio spans service contract vehicles under 28 CFR Section 0.111 (asset forfeiture asset management), with the bulk of recent work awarded under total small business set-aside designations on the USMS side and mixed set-aside treatment on non-USMS awards. Rbex maintains continuous SAM registration since 2003 and competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements when set-asides are not available, supplementing set-aside awards with non-set-aside delivery orders and purchase orders across the same customer base.
