Purchase Order 127EAT26P0009

Suntiff, LLC, a small, minority-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned business based in Commerce, California, has been awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region), to provide toilet pumping services at 13 locations across the Mt. Pinos Ranger District in Los Padres National Forest. The contract, set aside for total small business participation, carries a ceiling value of $71,249.39 with an award date of January 26, 2026, and ultimate completion date of January 25, 2031. Suntiff will be responsible for furnishing all labor, materials, equipment, transportation, and related services necessary to pump vault and septic tank toilets at various campgrounds and trailheads spanning five California counties—Ventura, Kern, San Bernardino, Santa Barbara, and Monterey—with annual service volumes ranging from 1,200 to 2,400 gallons per location. The base performance period extends from January 26, 2026, through January 25, 2027, with active service delivery occurring annually from May 1 through October 31, followed by four one-year option periods.

The Forest Service evaluated proposals using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable methodology, considering past performance and price as award factors. Key contractor qualifications include the ability to operate four-wheel drive vehicles capable of navigating challenging forest roads with limited cell service, including winding mountain roads with varied surface conditions that may be icy or snowy during winter months. Suntiff's selection reflects its extensive experience in providing sanitation and facility maintenance services across federal agencies, including numerous contracts with the Forest Service and other government entities for portable toilet rental, vault toilet pumping, and waste removal services.
