RIX Industries

RIX Industries, a Benicia, California-based small business manufacturer and subsidiary of Crestt, LP, specializes in pneumatic energy storage and transfer control systems, high-pressure and medium-pressure air compressors, and specialized pneumatic components for naval and defense platforms, operating as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards) across full-and-open and selective small business set-aside vehicles.

The company's federal customer base concentrates heavily on the Navy and defense logistics. The top five funding agencies account for 74% of recent awards by count and 95% by combined potential value. Naval Supply Systems Command leads by dollars ($147.3 million across 455 awards), followed closely by Naval Sea Systems Command ($124.9 million across 479 awards). Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime ($23.2 million across 831 awards) and DLA Aviation ($11.5 million across 273 awards) round out the primary customer set. This concentration underscores RIX's foundational role as an Original Equipment Manufacturer and repair-service provider for naval pneumatic systems, from high-pressure air compressors aboard submarines and destroyers to liquid-surge suppressors and moisture separators across the fleet.

RIX's capability portfolio aligns with its primary NAICS—Air and Gas Compressor Manufacturing (673 awards)—and its dominant Product Service Code, Compressors and Vacuum Pumps (1,158 awards). Representative prime work includes a $4.737 million electronic control definitive contract with Naval Supply Systems Command (May 2026), a $3.547 million compressor-unit delivery order (June 2026), a $1.8 million electronic-controls definitive contract (January 2025), and ongoing delivery orders for reconditioned compressor units, motor shafts, valve assemblies, filter elements, and technical maintenance services. The company also holds a $1.999 billion total small business set-aside Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Aviation for APS desiccant filters running through August 2029, and a $250,000 IDC with DLA Aviation for corrosion prevention anodes through February 2030. RIX maintains standing Basic Ordering Agreements with Naval Sea Systems Command (technical services, valid through March 2030) and Naval Supply Systems Command (high and medium pressure air compressors, through March 2030), which serve as the contracting framework for dozens of task orders annually.

Vehicle positioning shows RIX sitting on five primary IDVs and BOAs. The largest parent vehicles by task-order volume are Indefinite Delivery Contract SP070000D9723 (130 task orders) and SPE7MX22D0087 (91 task orders, $3.7 million combined potential value), followed by IDC N0010499GA004 (69 task orders), BOA N0010410GA003 (51 task orders, $12.6 million), and IDC SPE7MX22D0091 (39 task orders, $1.4 million). These vehicles anchor RIX's ability to deliver components and services across multiple Naval and DLA platforms on an indefinite-delivery, call-order basis.

Award activity has remained steady. Over the past five years, RIX averaged roughly 150 awards per year, with 155 in 2022, 200 in 2023, 184 in 2024, 157 in 2025, and 56 year-to-date in 2026. The recompete cliff presents material exposure: 35 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $51.5 million, representing firm renewal or competitive replacement obligations.

RIX operates as a prime on the vast majority of its portfolio but maintains active subcontracting relationships with major shipbuilders and aerospace contractors. Named subcontract primes include Huntington Ingalls Incorporated (multiple DDG 51-class ship construction and carrier overhaul awards for compressor and LPAC components), The Boeing Company (recurring aerospace-support pallets and P-8A aircraft work), BAE Systems Maritime Solutions Norfolk Inc. and San Diego Inc. (destroyer and cruiser maintenance and modernization), East Coast Repair & Fabrication LLC (USS Donald Cook and USS Gravely destroyer overhauls involving high-pressure air compressor assembly and testing), and HII Fleet Support Group LLC (carrier maintenance and LPAC commissioning support). Sub work typically involves supplying OEM components, performing technical labor on ship pneumatic systems, or providing overhaul and test services on naval air and liquid-surge systems.

The Service Contract Inventory dataset carries minimal RIX activity—only one sub-award record in FY2025 with 0.4 FTEs reported. This reflects the fact that RIX's federal revenue footprint is dominated by goods procurement (compressors, valves, filters, mechanical assemblies) and products, which fall outside the SCI reporting threshold and scope.

RIX Industries is a child entity of Crestt, LP, a for-profit partnership or limited liability partnership headquartered in Sparks, Nevada. The subsidiary structure allows RIX to maintain its Benicia manufacturing base and brand identity while operating under Crestt's parent holding.
