Portable Toilet Services, Cape Cod Canal, Buzzards Bay, MA

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers, New England District, seeks portable toilet supply, service, and maintenance at three Cape Cod Canal recreational sites (Buzzards Bay, Sagamore Beach, and Sandwich, Massachusetts) for a seven-month period beginning upon contract award, with proposals due October 7, 2026, at 2:00 PM Eastern. The procurement is a total small business set-aside; however, Amendment 0003 issued September 30 clarifies that this is a women-owned small business (WOSB) 100-percent set-aside under NAICS 562991 (Septic Tank and Related Services), with a $9 million size standard.

The contractor must supply and service six portable toilets—three standard units (approximately 60 gallons each) and three ADA-accessible units (approximately 40 gallons each)—with three cleanings per week (Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays) during daylight hours. Site A (Buzzards Bay, 90 Main Street) requires gate key access; Sites B and D are accessible without keys. All placements must be on unpaved surfaces suitable for rebar anchoring. The contractor is responsible for a written Spill Prevention Plan, all water resources, and off-site waste disposal in compliance with applicable regulations. Emergency cleaning service for up to 10 instances must be delivered within 24 hours of notification, including weekend and holiday response.

All contractor personnel must hold active SAM.gov registrations and certifications in First Aid and CPR (minimum one certified employee per shift, or two per shift, depending on work configuration). The contractor must comply with EM 385-1-1 safety standards, EPA CPG toilet paper requirements, USDA BioPreferred hand sanitizer, and DFARS cybersecurity clauses 252.204-7012, -7019, and -7020, though no CMMC assessment is required. Billing for Items 1 and 2 is monthly firm-fixed price per unit; cancelled or rescheduled services receive proportional billing adjustments based on actual completion percentages. The seven-month period includes six full months plus one partial month of compensation. Evaluation criteria are technical capability, price, and past performance. A mandatory pre-work conference must occur within seven business days of award. Named small-business subcontractors are permitted under signed teaming arrangements, with the prime retaining full contract responsibility.
