FP-KING RANGE VAULT TOILETS Base plus 4OYs

The Bureau of Land Management's Arcata Field Office is soliciting quotations for on-call pumping services at twenty-four vault toilets located across the King Range National Conservation Area and seven day-use sites in California. The contractor must provide sewage pumping services for ten vault toilets at four KRNCA campgrounds and fourteen vault toilets at ARFO day-use sites, with the government estimating approximately 22 service calls annually. Key requirements include completing routine service calls within 10 days and emergency calls within 3 days of notification, pumping vaults completely dry, removing debris, and disposing of sewage only at licensed or permitted facilities with documented proof retained for three years. Work must be performed during regular business hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) unless the Contracting Officer approves alternative scheduling. Award will be made to the lowest price technically acceptable offeror using simplified acquisition procedures, with quotations due by February 27, 2026 at 3:00 PM PDT and questions due by February 20, 2026. All offerors must be registered in SAM.gov and provide a completed Standard Form 18, bid schedule, and detailed work plan demonstrating capability to meet Performance Work Statement requirements.

This is a total small business set-aside with no identified incumbent contractor mentioned in the solicitation documents. The base contract period runs from March 9, 2026 through March 8, 2027, with four optional one-year extension periods potentially extending the contract through March 8, 2031. Service Contract Labor Standards apply, with prevailing wage rates established by the Department of Labor wage determination for California counties including Humboldt County, with hourly rates ranging from $15.39 to $71.62 depending on occupation classification plus fringe benefits. The performance work statement indicates the contractor must furnish all labor, materials, equipment, transportation, and supplies necessary to complete the pumping services, with the government providing access to the vault toilet locations across northern California's coastal and inland areas. The Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan establishes zero tolerance for sewage disposal outside permitted facilities and provides for invoice deductions of 5 to 10 percent for unsatisfactory performance inspections.
