Little Stinker Septic, LLC

Little Stinker Septic, LLC, a Payson, Arizona-based limited liability partnership, provides vault toilet pumping, portable toilet rental and servicing, and septic tank management to the U.S. Forest Service and National Park Service as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) and has maintained a federal procurement footprint since 2005.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on sanitation infrastructure support for federal recreation and wildland operations. Representative work includes a $542,199 definitive contract awarded July 1, 2026, by the USDA Forest Service Tonto National Forest (Region 3—Southwestern Region) for vault toilet septic collection services across 91 recreation facilities in the North Zone, running through June 30, 2031, with four one-year renewal options; a $136,175 purchase order from Forest Service Region 3 effective January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2028, for portable toilet rentals and septic services in the Flagstaff area; and a $104,000 purchase order awarded April 1, 2024, by Forest Service Region 3 for weekly portable toilet servicing across the Red Rock Ranger District and Fossil Creek areas of Coconino National Forest through December 31, 2028. Work is performed on an as-needed basis across multiple recreation sites and ranger districts throughout Arizona, with the contractor furnishing all labor, equipment, supplies, transportation, permits, and supervision. Services include pumping vault toilets, holding tanks, and septic tanks; emptying lift stations; removing debris and foreign materials; cleaning and disinfecting facilities; and transporting waste to approved disposal sites.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 3—Southwestern Region accounts for 24 awards (65% of total awards) and $1.4 million in combined potential value (82% of the portfolio). The Department of the Interior National Park Service Intermountain Region, the Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, and the Forest Service broadly round out the customer set, totaling four distinct agencies. The top-customer rankings by award count and potential value are identical, indicating that Forest Service Region 3 dominates both volume and dollars.

Activity has been sparse and volatile — one award in 2022, two in 2023, three in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026. The combined potential value across all 37 prime awards is $1.7 million, with $1.2 million obligated (73% execution rate). No IDIQs, GWACs, BPAs, or parent vehicles are present in the award set; all work flows from direct purchase orders and definitive contracts with federal agencies. The vendor has no subcontract footprint and does not serve as a sub to other primes.
