Baker Sanitary Service, Inc.

Baker Sanitary Service, Inc., a for-profit small business headquartered in Baker City, Oregon, operates as a prime contractor providing portable sanitation services—including portable toilets, wheelchair-accessible units, handwashing stations, waste removal, and cleaning—to the U.S. Forest Service and interagency wildland fire response programs across the Pacific Northwest and nationwide. The company competes entirely under small-business set-asides, with all 34 awards in the source record issued to Baker Sanitary Service as a prime; the vendor holds no subcontract work and serves no role as a subcontractor to larger primes.

Baker Sanitary Service's customer base is heavily concentrated within the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The top three funding entities account for 91% of awards by count and 98% of combined potential value: the Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) represents 29 awards worth $626 thousand combined potential value; the National Interagency Fire Center represents one award—the cornerstone indefinite-delivery contract—valued at $7.5 million; and the broader Forest Service entity represents one additional award worth $2 thousand. This concentration is not tension between volume and dollars; rather, the dollars are anchored by a single multi-year vehicle, while the transaction count derives from repeated task order execution under that vehicle and from smaller regional orders.

The vendor's primary vehicle is an indefinite-delivery, multiple-award BPA awarded July 1, 2022, by the National Interagency Fire Center with a $7.5 million ceiling, set-aside for small business and running through June 30, 2027. Under this IDIQ, Baker Sanitary Service has received 20 task orders valued at $410 thousand combined. The contract covers portable sanitation services nationwide in response to fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed fire work across USDA Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and state wildland fire agencies. The remaining task order activity flows from direct Forest Service Region 6 awards, including delivery orders ranging from eight hundred dollars to $108,186 issued between August 2023 and September 2026 for operations at Baker City, John Day, and Pendleton, Oregon. Recent examples include a $108,186 delivery order (August 23, 2026) for portable sanitation infrastructure, a $71,021 delivery order (July 9, 2026) under the NIFC IDIQ, and a $37,087.80 purchase order for garbage dumpster and container service (August 24, 2026).

Activity has grown from one award in 2021 to nine awards in 2024, with six awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date through September. Combined potential value across all 34 awards is $8.3 million; combined dollars obligated is $547 thousand, representing 7% drawdown against potential. Baker Sanitary Service operates under NAICS 562991 (Septic Tank and Related Services) for 23 of the 34 awards, with secondary classifications under Support Activities for Forestry (8 awards). Work is performed nationwide in incident response contexts, with administrative oversight through Missoula, Montana, and place-of-performance concentrated in Oregon locations supporting Forest Service operations and wildland fire response.
