About this opportunity
The USDA Forest Service, Procurement & Property Services, Intermountain Zone, has issued a Special Notice for vault toilet pumping services at the White River National Forest in Colorado. This notice relates to a BPA Call Order exceeding $25,000 that will be awarded competitively against an existing Blanket Purchase Agreement. The contract covers septic pumping services for 66 vaults across 32 recreation sites located in Eagle, Garfield, Pitkin, and Summit Counties. The work is classified under NAICS code 562991 (septic tank and related services) and is set aside for small businesses. The Forest Service is seeking contractors to provide comprehensive vault toilet pumping services including labor, equipment, supervision, transportation, operating supplies, and incidentals. The service areas are divided into three geographical districts: Eagle/Holy Cross Ranger District, Aspen/Sopris Ranger District, and Dillon Ranger District.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to comply with USDA policy regarding Blanket Purchase Agreement notifications and to gauge contractor interest and capacity for the vault toilet pumping requirement. Interested parties must respond by August 25, 2025, providing specific organizational information including company details, Unique Entity Identifier from SAM registration, and tailored capability statements demonstrating their ability to perform the work. The contract period extends from May 28, 2024, through October 30, 2027, with services required during summer seasons from May 1st to October 30th annually. Contractors must be capable of accessing remote locations, some requiring 4WD vehicles and auxiliary pumps, while meeting specific waste disposal and cleaning requirements. Only current BPA holders are eligible to submit quotes, and evaluation will be based on technical capabilities, past performance, and price, with technical factors weighted more heavily than cost considerations.
