Greg Rankin

Greg Rankin, doing business as Cordova Septic Service, operates as a sole proprietorship providing septic tank pumping, wastewater transportation, portable toilet maintenance, and grease trap cleaning services to federal agencies in remote Alaska as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides and full-and-open procurements. The company is self-certified as a small disadvantaged business and operates from Palmer, Alaska, serving the Cordova area accessible only by ferry, barge, or air.

Cordova Septic Service works exclusively in the wastewater and sanitation services space for federal facilities. The company holds two active IDV vehicles: a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service's Alaska Region (USDA IDC 12012018D0001) valued at $65,351 through March 2027 for vault and portable latrine pumping across the Cordova Ranger District of the Chugach National Forest, and a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of Homeland Security Coast Guard valued at $150,000 through April 2029 for seasonal septic tank and grease trap maintenance at the Coast Guard Aviation Support Facility in Cordova. Recent delivery orders include an $11,800 order from USDA Forest Service for vault pumping services (April 2024), a $6,900 Coast Guard BPA call for septic services at the Cordova air facility (May 2025), and a $13,717 order from the Department of Interior Alaska Region for vault pumping services with funding added in April 2026.

Customer concentration is tight and geographically localized. The top three funding agencies account for 82% of all awards: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Alaska Region (21 awards, $333 thousand combined potential value), the Department of Homeland Security Coast Guard (8 awards, $196 thousand), and the Alaska Army National Guard (2 awards, $23 thousand). Combined potential value across all thirty-eight prime awards totals $552 thousand, with $310 thousand obligated to date. The company's award footprint spans septic tank and related services (35 awards) and janitorial services (3 awards), predominantly under PSC Housekeeping–Waste Treatment/Storage.

Activity has remained modest and steady, averaging fewer than one award per quarter over the past five years (two in 2022, one in 2023, four in 2024, five in 2025, one in 2026 year-to-date). Only one award is scheduled for completion in the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $14 thousand), presenting minimal recompete exposure. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime and maintains no subcontractor relationships in the federal space.
