Best Pots, Inc.

Best Pots, Inc., doing business as A & B Septic, a small business based in Albany, Oregon, operates as a prime contractor (100% of awards) providing portable toilet rentals, pumping services, vault toilet maintenance, and waste removal to federal agencies across the Pacific Northwest. The vendor competes under small business set-asides in roughly half its prime awards; recent contracts span both Total Small Business set-aside and unrestricted full-and-open competitions.

The company's customer base is heavily concentrated in land and resource management. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region accounts for 60 of 93 awards and $1.6 million in combined potential value — 64% of the vendor's footprint by award count and 64% by potential dollars. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington (5 awards, $323 thousand), the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Portland District (5 awards, $188 thousand), the Forest Service Job Corps (4 awards, $30 thousand), and the National Interagency Fire Center (2 awards, $143 thousand) round out the top five, covering 82% of recent awards. The rankings align closely — the Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region dominates both volume and dollars — with minimal tension between award count and potential value concentration.

Best Pots, Inc. operates under five active blanket purchase agreements. The largest is the single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement 1240BD22A0006 with the Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region, holding a $100,000 ceiling and valid through April 2032, from which three task orders have been exercised ($29,620 in July 2022 for toilet pumping in Springfield; $56,275 in July 2023 for portable toilet pumping and waste removal; $19,000 in January 2026 for recreational site toilet pumping on the Hebo Ranger District). Four other BPAs support smaller task order streams, ranging from $23 thousand to $79 thousand in single orders. The vendor holds no position on government-wide acquisition contracts, schedules, or multi-agency IDIQs; work flows exclusively through agency-level or region-level BPAs and direct purchase orders.

Award activity declined markedly after 2022. The vendor recorded six awards in 2021, three in 2022, four in 2023, then one in 2025 and one in 2026 — a contraction reflecting completion of time-limited task orders and incident-response work rather than loss of existing relationships. Three awards (combined potential value $49 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will require recompete to sustain. The vendor's award portfolio spans 93 prime contracts with combined potential value of $2.5 million and $2.1 million in obligated dollars, grounded in two primary NAICS codes: Support Activities for Forestry (38 awards) and Septic Tank and Related Services (37 awards). Vault toilet pumping, portable toilet rental and maintenance, grease pump services, and emergency sanitation support for wildland fire response define the capability set. The vendor has worked with the Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Army Corps of Engineers, Job Corps, and National Interagency Fire Center since at least 2003.
