About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture Forest Service seeks vault toilet pumping services at multiple locations on the Ouray Ranger District within the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre, and Gunnison National Forests, with quotations due August 31 at 2:00 p.m. Mountain Time. This is a total small business set-aside, restricting competition to firms meeting SBA size standards for NAICS 562991 (Septic Tank and Related Services), with a $9 million size standard.
Place of performance is Ouray, Colorado. The contract period runs September 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027, following Amendment 0002 issued August 19, 2026, which reduced locations and pumping frequency due to budget constraints. Five locations require service: Blue Lakes Trailhead, Thistledown Campground, Angel Creek Campground, Middle Fork Upper, and Middle Fork Lower, each requiring two pumping cycles during the performance period.
The contractor must supply all labor, equipment, materials, tools, supervision, permits, transportation, and insurance. Minimum equipment includes a 1500-gallon pumper tank capacity, vacuum pump, 3-inch diameter intake valve with 200 feet of hose, long-handled grappling device, extra water capacity, and backup warning devices. All vaults must be pumped when reaching 80% capacity, with 90% of contents removed per commercial standards. The contractor is responsible for obtaining proper licensure, securing all disposal arrangements at state-approved facilities off National Forest lands, and bearing all associated disposal costs and fees; pricing must include dumping charges.
Award goes to the lowest priced, technically acceptable offer with acceptable or neutral past performance, evaluated under FAR 12.203 criteria. Technical acceptability requires detailed explanation of ability to perform the work as outlined in the Performance Work Statement. Prevailing wage determinations for Ouray County, Colorado apply. Service Contract Act provisions including Executive Order 13706 paid sick leave and Executive Order 13658 minimum wage ($13.65 per hour through December 31, 2026) apply to covered contracts. Quotations must remain firm for 90 calendar days from receipt. Questions are due by e-mail to rebecca.l.schowalter@usda.gov before August 31 at 2:00 p.m. Mountain Time. Invoices must be submitted to Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform at https://www.ipp.gov.
