Portable toilet service - blri highlands

The National Park Service Pacific West Region is soliciting portable toilet services for the Blue Ridge Parkway National Park's Highlands District near Blowing Rock, North Carolina. The contract requires a contractor to place and service temporary restroom facilities at five specific locations: Linn Cove Visitor Center, Price Park Boat Rental, Price Lake Dam/Trailhead, Price Park Picnic Area, and Moses Cone Manor Parking Area. The service is needed due to facility closures from Hurricane Helene and increased park visitation, requiring the contractor to maintain portable toilets in safe, sanitary, and accessible conditions throughout the visitation season. The government will award a firm-fixed price commercial contract based on the quote representing the best value, evaluating technical approach, qualifications, and price. The original solicitation deadline was September 4, 2025 at 4:00 PM EST, but this has been amended to September 9, 2025 at 1:30 PM EDT.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 562991 (Septic Tank and Related Services) with a small business size standard of $11.5 million. The requirement involves providing 6-8 portable toilet units per location, including a mix of regular and ADA-accessible units, with maintenance services three times weekly on recommended service days of Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. The base performance period runs from September 11, 2025 to November 30, 2025, with five additional option periods potentially extending the contract through September 15, 2026. No incumbent contractor is mentioned as this is identified as a new requirement with no existing contract in place. Performance will occur at the Blue Ridge Parkway National Park locations in North Carolina, with contractors required to remove all waste from the park for proper disposal and coordinate unit placement with the local NPS field supervisor.
