Vantex Service Corporation

Vantex Service Corporation, a small-business-set-aside contractor headquartered in Buda, Texas, supplies portable sanitation equipment and facilities maintenance services to the Department of Defense and Department of the Army as a prime contractor across 3,077 awards totaling $205.7 million in combined potential value. The company operates almost exclusively under Total Small Business set-asides and competes in a single PSC/NAICS frame—portable latrine rental, shower trailer delivery, handwashing station placement, gray water removal, and septic tank servicing—with little diversification into other service lines.

Vantex's customer base concentrates heavily on Army Installation Management Command regional offices and operational Army commands. The top five customers by award count—United States Marine Corps (813 awards, $3.7 million), Department of the Army (581 awards, $32.8 million), Department of the Army Forces Command (404 awards, $11.7 million), Army Installation Management Command Southwest Region (345 awards, $63.8 million), and Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center (180 awards, $5.5 million)—account for 75% of recent awards. By dollar volume, Army Installation Management Command Southwest Region ($63.8 million across 345 awards), Department of the Army ($32.8 million across 581 awards), Army Installation Management Command Northeast Region ($26.4 million across 78 awards), and Army Installation Management Command Southeast Region ($23.6 million across 155 awards) represent 77% of combined potential value. The concentration difference signals a vendor whose dollars cluster in regional Army infrastructure, while award counts spread across tactical Marine Corps and operational Army commands issuing high-velocity, low-dollar purchase orders.

Vantex holds two anchor indefinite-delivery contracts. A $12.5 million IDC with Army Materiel Command's Mission and Installation Contracting Command Southeast Region, awarded July 1, 2024, and running through June 30, 2028, covers portable latrines, handwash stations, gray water and septic services, shower trailers, and laundry trailers at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, with 125 task orders yielding $1.9 million in combined potential value. A $12.65 million Total Small Business IDC with the Department of the Army, awarded May 1, 2025, running through April 30, 2030, and designated for Fort Knox, Kentucky, covers the same service scope with multiple delivery orders already issued to Army Recruiting Command, Army Reserve Command, and Army Northeast Region. Beyond these, Vantex operates a $500,000 Blanket Purchase Agreement with Army Installation Management Command Southwest Region for portable sanitation unit rentals in the Killeen, Texas area, primarily supporting Fort Hood. The top parent vehicles—Indefinite Delivery Contract M6739919D0002 (946 task orders, $3.5 million) and Indefinite Delivery Contract DAKF0401D0007 (357 task orders, $3.4 million)—are administrative references to the regional IDC and BPA universe under which individual delivery orders and BPA calls flow.

Activity peaked in 2023 with 234 awards but has contracted sharply: 190 awards in 2022, 46 in 2024, 13 in 2025, and 7 year-to-date in 2026. This steep decline, combined with only 5 awards (combined potential value $1.2 million) facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, suggests Vantex faces minimal recompete urgency but signals a broader erosion in ordering velocity or customer demand. The vendor's entire footprint rests on tactical, episodic purchase orders and delivery orders for field sanitation support at military training installations and operational bases—a transactional, non-recurring revenue model with no multi-year task order anchors or strategic customer lock-in outside the two regional IDCs. With 2,896 of its 3,078 awards classified under NAICS 562991 (Septic Tank and Related Services) and 1,669 awards under PSC lease-or-rental-of-portable-toilets codes, Vantex operates as a mission-critical but undifferentiated commodity supplier to Army real-estate and facilities commands, vulnerable to in-sourcing, consolidation with larger facilities integrators, or customer preference for bundled base-support contracts.

Vantex subcontracts minimally—one sub-award on a BAE Systems Land & Armaments contract for Bradley Fighting Vehicle and Multiple Launch Rocket System Carrier technical support (July 2025)—placing it almost entirely in the prime posture and outside teaming relationships with larger defense primes.

We provide portable toliets/latrines for military and special events that require daily/weekly/monthly servicing.
