Purchase Order 140L6326P0002

Burnham Construction Inc., doing business as J D Refuse System, was awarded a $52.7K firm fixed price purchase order by the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management Alaska Region on March 27, 2026, to provide annual outhouse pumping and waste removal services along the Taylor Highway in Alaska. The contract, which is designated as a total small business set-aside, runs through September 30, 2031, with a base period from September 17, 2026 to September 30, 2027, followed by four option years. Under the solicitation (140L6326Q0003), the contractor must service 20 outhouses and septic systems with vault capacities ranging from 500 to 2,000 gallons, distributed across two primary areas: five units near Eagle, Alaska, and 15 units along the Taylor Highway between mile 35 and mile 112.5. All pumping services must be completed within a two-day window each September and disposed of at an Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation-approved facility in compliance with applicable environmental regulations.

Burnham Construction Inc./J D Refuse System is an experienced vendor in this space, having maintained active federal contracts since at least 2019 for similar outhouse pumping services on Alaska highways. The contractor's selection represents a continuation of the Bureau of Land Management's efforts to maintain sanitation infrastructure across remote recreational and field station areas in Alaska, where these facilities serve campgrounds, wayside areas, and government operational sites. The small business set-aside designation supports economic development among qualified small enterprises providing specialized waste management services in Alaska's challenging operational environment.
