Greg Rankin

Greg Rankin, doing business as Cordova Septic Service, is a sole-proprietorship septic and waste-services vendor that operates as a 100% prime contractor providing vault pumping, portable toilet rental, grease trap cleaning, and wastewater transportation to three federal agencies in remote Alaska, registered as a self-certified small disadvantaged business and competing predominantly under total small business set-asides.

Cordova Septic Service delivers wastewater treatment, sanitation, and portable facilities rental for federal operations in Cordova and Palmer, Alaska. The vendor's capability footprint centers on NAICS 562991 (septic tank and related services) and aligns with PSC 4300 (housekeeping and waste-treatment services). Recent representative work includes a $60.5 thousand single-award indefinite-delivery contract from the USDA Forest Service Region 10 (awarded April 2024, running through March 2027) for vault and portable latrine pumping across the Cordova Ranger District on the Chugach National Forest; a $150 thousand single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Coast Guard (established May 2025, running through April 2029) for barracks, hangar, and galley grease-trap cleaning at the Coast Guard Aviation Support Facility in Cordova; and a $13.7 thousand delivery order from the Department of Interior Alaska Region (April 2026) for vault pumping services. The Forest Service IDC and Coast Guard BPA together anchor the vendor's recurring revenue pipeline.

Customer concentration is acute and geographically specific. The USDA Forest Service Region 10-Alaska Region accounts for 59% of awards (21 awards, $333 thousand combined potential value), the Department of Homeland Security Coast Guard accounts for 23% (eight awards, $196 thousand), and the Department of the Army Alaska National Guard accounts for 9% (three awards, $32 thousand). These three agencies cover 100% of combined potential value across the vendor's federal footprint. The source data show a total of 39 prime awards with a combined potential value of $561 thousand, of which $319 thousand (57%) has been obligated.

Cordova Septic Service holds positions on five active parent vehicles: the USDA Forest Service IDC 12012018D0001 (five task orders, $45 thousand combined potential value), the Coast Guard BPA 70Z04525AKODI0002 (one task order, $7 thousand), the Forest Service IDC 1240BF24D0004 (three task orders, $37 thousand), and two additional Forest Service BPAs (two and one task orders respectively, combining to $6 thousand). All vehicles are either single-award IDCs or single-award BPAs; the vendor does not participate in government-wide acquisition contracts or multi-agency vehicles.

Activity has grown modestly in the past three years — two awards in 2022, one in 2023, four in 2024, and five in 2025 — with only one award (combined potential value $14 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore facing recompete exposure before October 2028. As a sole proprietorship operating exclusively in geographically constrained federal work in coastal Alaska (accessible by ferry, barge, or air), the vendor's competitive footprint is defined by isolation and local logistics capability rather than by broad government-wide vehicles or multi-agency presence.
