Marilyn Klasen

Marilyn Klasen, doing business as Klasen Septic Pumping, is a small, woman-owned business located in Dillon, Montana, specializing in sanitation and waste management services for federal agencies. Registered in SAM.gov since 2003, the company provides essential services including septic pumping, portable toilet servicing, handwashing stations, and waste removal primarily to federal land management agencies such as the USDA Forest Service and Department of the Interior. As a sole proprietorship, Klasen Septic Pumping has established itself as a critical service provider for wildland fire response, recreation area maintenance, and emergency incident support across multiple western states.

The company has consistently secured federal contract awards from agencies like the USDA Forest Service Northern Region, DOI Fish and Wildlife Service, and Bureau of Reclamation, with contract values ranging from $4,100 to $243,706. Many of these contracts have been set aside for small businesses, highlighting Klasen Septic Pumping's status as a preferred vendor for specialized sanitation services. The majority of contracts focus on vault pumping, janitorial services, and providing critical infrastructure support for wildland fire and all-hazard incidents. Specific service locations have included the Madison River area, Clark Canyon Reservoir, Barretts Diversion Dam, and various national forests and recreation areas in Montana and surrounding regions.

Klasen Septic Pumping holds two critical Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts with the USDA Forest Service, each with a $250,000 ceiling value and set aside for small businesses. These multiple-award IDIQ contracts cover Regions 1, 2, and 4, enabling the company to provide potable and gray water truck/handwashing stations on a trailer-mounted basis for wildland fire suppression and emergency response efforts. The contracts, awarded through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, allow for on-call availability of water and sanitation support resources, with task orders ranging from $7,400 to $48,000. These IDVs are designed to support not only the Forest Service but potentially other federal agencies like the Department of the Interior, providing a centralized source of essential emergency response services.
