Bishop Sanitation Inc.

Bishop Sanitation Inc., a for-profit small business based in Goldendale, Washington, supplies vault toilet pumping, portable sanitation equipment, and incident-response waste management services to federal land agencies as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under small-business set-asides on task orders and BPA calls. The company operates nationwide through a $7.5 million indefinite-delivery contract with the National Interagency Fire Center and holds five single-award and multiple-award blanket purchase agreements with the U.S. Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region and the Army Corps of Engineers' Portland District.

Bishop Sanitation's customer base is concentrated in USDA Forest Service programs, primarily Region 6 (Pacific Northwest), which accounts for 27 awards valued at $2.1 million in combined potential value. The National Interagency Fire Center anchors the vendor's dollar exposure with a single $7.5 million indefinite-delivery contract (multiple-award, total small business set-aside, through June 30, 2027) for portable toilets, wheelchair-accessible units, and handwashing stations supporting wildland incident response nationwide. Additional USDA Forest Service activity totals 8 awards at $536 thousand; the Army Corps of Engineers contributes 12 awards valued at $202 thousand across two offices. Over fifty recent awards span seven distinct federal agencies, with combined potential value of $10.8 million against which $1.8 million has been obligated.

Primary vehicle positions include five blanket purchase agreements: a $500 thousand single-award BPA with Forest Service Region 6 for vault toilet pumping on the Zigzag Ranger District (through April 30, 2032, total small business set-aside); a second $500 thousand Region 6 BPA for vault septic pumping across Oregon, Washington, and California forests (through December 30, 2032, no set-aside); a $50 thousand single-award BPA with Army Corps of Engineers Portland District for vault toilet and sewage pumping at Bonneville Dam and Locks (through September 30, 2025); and the $7.5 million National Interagency Fire Center incident IDIQ. Recent representative work includes a $304 thousand purchase order for two gray water trucks for the Pioneer incident (July 2024), a $203 thousand mobile shower unit for the Pioneer incident (July 2024), a $145 thousand delivery of portable toilets and handwashing stations for the Cowlitz Complex (August 2023), and $18 thousand and $15 thousand BPA calls for on-call vault pumping on Mt. Hood National Forest's west and east zones (May 2025 and May 2026). Work is performed across eight National Forests in the Pacific Northwest (Columbia River Gorge, Deschutes, Mount Baker-Snoqualmie, Okanogan-Wenatchee, Olympic, Siuslaw, Umpqua, and Willamette) and nationwide in response to fire and all-hazard incidents. NAICS concentration is heavy in septic tank and related services (32 awards) and support activities for forestry (12 awards). Activity declined from eleven awards in 2022 to two in 2026, with minimal recompete exposure—only two awards (combined potential value $29 thousand) complete within the next twenty-four months.
