Bucks Sanitary Service Inc.

Bucks Sanitary Service Inc., operating through its Bucks Sanitary Service Division based in Eugene, Oregon, is a family-owned small business that provides portable sanitation infrastructure and waste removal services as a prime contractor to federal agencies, competing exclusively under total small business set-asides on smaller purchases and task orders while holding several large indefinite-delivery vehicles that support wildland fire suppression, emergency response, and routine public lands operations across the Pacific Northwest and nationwide.

Bucks Sanitary Service operates entirely as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint. The company specializes in portable toilet rentals (standard and ADA-accessible configurations), hand washing stations, potable and gray water truck services, vault septic pumping, and solid waste collection and removal. Representative recent awards illustrate the scope: a $102,628 firm fixed-price purchase order from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) on May 1, 2026, to supply and service portable toilets at McKenzie River Ranger District through October 31, 2030, comprising a base year plus four one-year option periods; a $622,458.60 delivery order from Region 6 on September 10, 2024, for portable toilet and hand washing station rentals supporting wildland fire operations in Springfield, Oregon; a $64,582.04 purchase order from the National Park Service Pacific West Region on July 13, 2023, exercising option year 3 of a portable toilet rental and pumping contract at Crater Lake National Park; and a $17,169.26 purchase order from the Federal Emergency Management Agency on September 26, 2022, to provide nine sanitary units at a staging yard in Gardiner, Oregon.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to a single agency. The top five funding entities account for 94 percent of recent awards, with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region dominating at 145 awards totaling $12.2 million combined potential value. The Department of Agriculture Fire and Aviation Management's National Interagency Fire Center ranks second with 6 awards valued at $8.8 million combined potential value. This divergence—where NIFC carries substantially more dollar value despite far fewer awards—reflects the larger ceiling values on Bucks' incident and disaster-response vehicles versus the smaller, short-cycle task orders typical of Region 6 routine maintenance work. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers, the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington, and the National Park Service Pacific West Region round out the customer base with minimal exposure.

Bucks Sanitary Service holds four primary contract vehicles. The largest is a $7.5 million multiple-award Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement (1202RZ22T0062) from the National Interagency Fire Center, awarded July 1, 2022, with ultimate completion June 30, 2027, for portable toilets and hand washing station services supporting wildland fire suppression and emergency response nationwide; 64 task orders have been drawn from this vehicle totaling $7.3 million in combined potential value, predominantly by Region 6 for performance in Oregon and Washington locations including Springfield, Roseburg, Medford, and Corvallis. A $500,000 single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (1204H118T7292) with Region 6, awarded May 18, 2022, and extending through April 30, 2032, procures vault septic pumping services for National Forest facilities across the Pacific Northwest; six task order calls total $471,000 in potential value. Two additional indefinite-delivery contracts—one valued at $500,000 (1202SB21T7598) from the National Interagency Fire Center for potable and gray water trucks and trailer-mounted hand washing stations, awarded February 6, 2026, and another at $250,000 (1204H124T7081) from the National Interagency Fire Center under the same scope, awarded May 28, 2024—support incident response across Region 6 through May 28, 2029. Task order activity under these vehicles runs from less than $325 to $973,769.75, with performance periods typically ranging from weeks to months.

Award activity has declined in recent years. Bucks received 38 awards in 2022, 30 in 2023, 25 in 2024, and only 5 each in 2025 and 2026 to date. This sharp drop reflects the completion of high-volume incident-response and wildfire suppression cycles rather than a loss of core contract standing; the underlying BPAs and IDIQs remain active through 2027 and 2032. Within the next twenty-four months, only one award—the $64,582.04 Crater Lake National Park contract with ultimate completion July 15, 2028—carries a recompete exposure signal in the source data, though the larger BPAs and IDIQs will face recompete activity in the 2027–2029 window as the source does not carry data beyond October 2026.

The vendor's award footprint centers on NAICS 562991 (Septic Tank and Related Services) with 107 awards and NAICS 331400 (Support Activities for Forestry) with 58 awards, reflecting core capability in portable sanitation and incident response work. PSC codes align: Lease or Rental of Equipment—Toiletries (72 awards) dominates, followed by Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (58 awards) and Housekeeping services (26 combined awards). Set-aside posture mirrors customer patterns: roughly 40 percent of awards by count carry total small business set-aside designation, typically on smaller purchase orders and shorter-term task orders, while the larger indefinite-delivery vehicles compete under the same set-aside framing but anchor most of the contract ceiling value.
