Quick Summary
The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition to acquire vehicle towing, storage, maintenance, and disposal services in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. This justification supports a sole-source award to RBEX Inc. for a 12-month period, serving as an interim solution until a competitive re-competition can be completed.
Purpose & Context
This document justifies a sole-source acquisition under FAR 13.106-1(b) for essential vehicle services. The USMS requires these services for seized and forfeited vehicles but is unable to conduct a full follow-on competitive acquisition within the necessary timeline due to competing requirements and limited resources. RBEX Inc., the current contractor, possesses the established infrastructure and organizational plan to meet the government's immediate needs. A competitive re-competition effort is anticipated by Q2 2027.
Scope of Work
The required services include:
- Towing, storage, maintenance, and disposal of seized/forfeited vehicles.
- Handling a variety of vehicle types: production-sized cars, trucks, vans, motorcycles, and specialty vehicles (ATVs, golf carts, trailerable boats).
- Relocation of vehicles at the time of seizure or post-investigative custody to a storage facility.
- Immediate mobilization capability.
Contract Details
- Type: Sole-Source Justification (FAR 13.106-1(b))
- Contract Ceiling: $499,999.99
- Period of Performance: February 17, 2026, to February 16, 2027 (12 months)
- Department/Agency: Department of Justice, U.S. Marshals Service
- Place of Performance: North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia
Set-Aside
This is a sole-source justification; therefore, no set-aside is applicable.
Evaluation
The anticipated price for this sole-source award will be determined fair and reasonable through market research, comparison with previous purchases, and an Independent Government Cost Estimate.
