The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Baker Septic Tank Pumping Inc., a small business contractor, to provide vault toilet pumping services for the Mt. Baker Ranger District of the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. The $500,000 single-award BPA, which runs from May 1, 2025 through April 30, 2032, requires the contractor to fully pump and remove waste from approximately 28 vault toilets located in the North Fork Nooksack Drainage and Baker Lake Drainage areas of Washington state. The contract was awarded through a small business set-aside solicitation under NAICS code 562991, with services primarily required during the summer operating season. The contractor will be responsible for providing all necessary personnel, equipment, tools, materials, vehicles, and supervision to remove trash, pump, wash down, clean up, and dispose of waste from the toilet vaults, which range in capacity from 300 to 2,000 gallons.
The solicitation, identified as RFQ 1240BD25Q0018, provided detailed maps, location inventories, and site-specific information to assist potential contractors in preparing per-trip pricing quotes for each of the approximately 25 toilet locations, which vary in service frequency from one to three times annually and range from 3 to 46 miles from reference points. The Forest Service will utilize the firm-fixed price BPA to issue task orders for the required vault toilet pumping services across the Mt. Baker Ranger District.
