Red Fox Environmental Services Inc.

Red Fox Environmental Services Inc. manufactures marine sanitation infrastructure equipment and sewage treatment components for naval vessels, operating as a prime contractor on 99% of its federal awards while the Military Sealift Command under the Department of the Navy accounts for 73% of its recent contracts by count and 81% by potential value. Red Fox is a small disadvantaged business headquartered in Youngsville, Louisiana, operating across NAICS categories centered on marine machinery manufacturing (22 awards), water and sewer line construction (16 awards), and ship building and repair work (7 awards); its PSC footprint is anchored in miscellaneous ship and marine equipment (41 awards) and sewage treatment equipment (10 awards).

Red Fox's federal customer base concentrates heavily on maritime sanitation. The Military Sealift Command dominates the portfolio with 59 awards valued at $1.6 million in combined potential value, followed at a distance by the Department of the Navy proper (8 awards, $178 thousand), the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Coast Guard (4 awards, $41 thousand), and the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers (4 awards, $18 thousand total across two districts). The top two customers capture 94% of awards by count and 97% by potential value. Red Fox competes full-and-open; only two of its recent awards carried set-aside designations (one Total Small Business in April 2024 for transfer pumps to Expeditionary Sea Base vessels, one Women-Owned Small Business consideration in April 2026 for the USNS William McLean eductor unit, though the latter was awarded non-competitively on proprietary grounds).

Recent representative contracts show Red Fox's equipment specialization. A $110.4 million vacuum unit contract awarded by the Military Sealift Command in March 2024 represents the largest single award in the recent portfolio. Other signature work includes a $78.9 thousand sewage pump replacement parts order from the Department of the Navy in August 2023, a $66.6 thousand award for two eductors for the USNS Richard Byrd in February 2026, and a $62.6 thousand sole-source procurement for eductor parts supporting the USNS Robert E. Peary in September 2025. Red Fox appears consistently as the exclusive original equipment manufacturer and sole source for specialized marine sanitation devices (MSD systems), vacuum manifold headers, eductor assemblies, and related components across the Navy's active fleet. The vendor operates with established contracting relationships spanning over two decades, with SAM registration dating to May 2002.

Red Fox operates as an equipment manufacturer with minimal service contract engagement; the Service Contract Inventory dataset records only one subcontractor appearance (in FY2022) with no prime service contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold. The vendor's federal footprint consists almost entirely of purchase orders for manufactured goods. One sub-award appears in the portfolio: a 2025 sub-contract role under National Steel and Shipbuilding Company for Expeditionary Sea Base hull spare parts. Activity has remained modest and stable — one award in 2022, three each in 2023 and 2024, and four in both 2025 and 2026 — with only one award (valued at $67 thousand) completing in the next twenty-four months, creating limited recompete cliff exposure in that window. Red Fox operates as a captive supplier to naval sanitation infrastructure maintenance, with proprietary technical knowledge and exclusive licensing that anchors its sole-source positioning.
