About this opportunity
The National Park Service is seeking quotes for vault toilet and septic tank pumping services at Yosemite National Park in California through solicitation number 140P8526Q0014. The contract requires comprehensive pumping and maintenance of 54 vault toilets and 1 septic tank across 21 locations along Tioga Road from Crane Flat to Lee Vining, with service delivery occurring over an 18-week period from June through October annually. The contractor must provide all labor, materials, tools, and removal of non-disposable items from vaults, while disposing of collected sewage at the Yosemite Creek Lift Station during specified weekday hours. Award will be made on a best-value basis evaluating price, technical capability, and past performance, with price being the primary consideration alongside the contractor's ability to deliver similar services and demonstrated past performance on comparable contracts. The solicitation closing date is March 25, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. Pacific time, with questions having been due February 25, 2026; two amendments have been issued, the most recent on March 23, 2026, correcting the service schedule for Parsons Lodge and extending the deadline.
This is a 100% total small business set-aside under NAICS code 562991 (Septic Tank and Related Services) with a small business size standard of $9.0 million in average annual receipts, and there is no current incumbent contractor, though services have been performed under a previous contract for the past three years. The contract is structured as a firm-fixed price Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement with a one-year base period from June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2027, followed by four one-year option periods through May 31, 2031, with a maximum contract value of $1,200,000 over the entire performance period and a minimum guaranteed amount of $150,000. The service locations span 21 facilities across Yosemite National Park's high country region, with vault capacities ranging from 50 to 600 gallons per unit and service frequencies varying from weekly to twice-weekly depending on facility usage. Performance will take place primarily at the El Portal Wastewater Treatment Plant (5083 Foresta Road, Building 750, El Portal, CA 95318) and at various designated service locations throughout the park along the Tioga Road corridor.
