Wastewater Pumping 2025, Lassen VNP

The National Park Service (NPS) at Lassen Volcanic National Park (LAVO) is soliciting quotations for wastewater pumping services across Lassen, Plumas, Shasta, and Tehama Counties in California. The solicitation (RFQ No. 140P8425Q0036) requires a contractor to provide comprehensive wastewater management, including supervision, labor, equipment, testing, and supplies for pumping approximately 85,000 gallons of wastewater from over 50 septic tanks and vault toilets. The government will evaluate quotations using simplified acquisition procedures outlined in FAR Part 13.106, selecting the most advantageous quote based on price and other factors. Quotations must be submitted electronically by May 26, 2025, with questions to be submitted via email to the designated contract specialist. The anticipated contract will result in a firm-fixed-price purchase order for services.

This acquisition is a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 562991, with a size standard of $9 million, meaning only small business concerns may submit quotations. The current incumbent is Big Valley Septic, and the contract performance period will run from June 1 to December 31, 2025. The contractor must be prepared to respond within three days of notification for standard pumping and within 24 hours for emergency services, with tank sizes ranging from 1,200 to 16,000 gallons. The project requires transporting waste to a state-approved disposal site and maintaining leak-free equipment while following specific directions from park staff. Pricing will include both standard wastewater pumping and additional emergency pumping services, with the government anticipating a competitive selection process that considers both cost and technical capabilities.
