General Information

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personal services contract under which the personnel rendering the services are not subject, either by the contract’s terms or by the manner of its administration, to the supervision and control usually prevailing in relationships between the Government and its employees. The United States (U.S.) Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the Contractor’s employees performing the tasks herein. Such contract employees shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn shall be responsible to the U.S. Government.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform Portable Latrines, Handwashing Stations, and Roll-Off Dumpster Services as defined in this PWS except for those items specified as government furnished property (GFP) and government furnished services (GFS). The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2 Background: Marine forces are conducting sustained operations in support of border barrier construction and security missions along the United States southern border (From San Diego, CA to Arizona/ New Mexico state border). These operations require Marines to work in remote and austere environments for extended periods, often away from established base infrastructure. These operations also require disposal of class IV to include concertina wire, barbed wire, metal engineering stakes. To maintain sanitation standards, health protection, force readiness, and mission effectiveness, contractor-provided portable latrines, handwashing stations, and roll-off dumpster support are required at multiple operational locations.

Current mission requirements are centered in the Tucson Sector, specifically in Nogales, Arizona, and Naco, Arizona with a potential to relocate as mission dictates. These locations require sanitation and waste support at fixed initial grid coordinates identified by the Government, with the capability to reposition assets along the border barrier as operational needs change. Contractor support is required to ensure Marines have continuous access to sanitary field hygiene and waste disposal services in support of daily operations.

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) establishes the requirements for contractor-provided portable latrines, handwashing stations, and roll-off dumpster services in support of Marine operations in Nogales and Naco, Arizona. The contractor shall furnish, service, maintain, relocate, and remove all required sanitation and waste support assets as directed by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), while ensuring compliance with applicable health, environmental, and safety standards.

1.3 Objectives: The objective of this contract is to provide reliable, responsive, and sanitary portable latrines, handwashing stations, roll-off dumpster support, and waste disposal services in support of Marine operations in Nogales and Naco, Arizona. The Contractor shall ensure uninterrupted availability of sanitation facilities at all required locations, maintain all equipment in a clean and serviceable condition, and respond rapidly to changing operational requirements. Successful performance under this contract will support Marine health, safety, morale, readiness, and mission effectiveness in austere field environments along the southern border.

1.4 Scope: The Contractor shall provide non-personal services for portable latrine, handwashing station, roll-off dumpster, and waste disposal support. Services shall include furnishing, transporting, delivering, emplacing, servicing, cleaning, restocking, maintaining, relocating, and removing portable latrines, handwashing stations, and roll-off dumpsters in support of Marine operations in Nogales and Naco, Arizona. This includes servicing of all sanitation assets every 48 hours, servicing of roll-off dumpsters (See Section 5.5.3.1 / PRS #3), replenishment of consumable supplies, proper collection and disposal of waste, and repair or replacement of damaged or inoperable equipment. The Contractor shall provide continuous, sanitary, and fully operational support at all designated locations, while maintaining the capability to reposition assets as directed by the Contracting Officer’s Representative

(COR) and ensuring no interruption of required services.

1.5 Period of Performance: The Period of Performance (PoP) for this contract shall be as follows:

Base Period: 15 July 2026 to 14 October 2026 Option Period One: 15 October 2026 to 14 January 2027 Option Period Two: 15 January 2027 to 14 April 2027 Option Period Three: 15 April 2027 to 14 July 2027
