LNZ Enterprises LLC

LNZ Enterprises LLC, a minority-owned small disadvantaged business (self-certified SDB) and sole proprietorship based in Carlsbad, New Mexico, provides vault toilet pumping, septic system services, portable sanitation equipment rental and servicing, and wastewater removal to federal agencies as a prime contractor exclusively—the vendor holds no subcontracts and generates 100% of award volume from prime positions. LNZ operates under total small business set-asides on roughly 60% of its awards; the remainder compete full-and-open or under no set-aside. The vendor's 79 awards across 12 agencies over the past five years carry a combined potential value of $16.3 million, though only $1.4 million (9%) has been obligated to date, reflecting the prevalence of firm-fixed-price task orders and BPA calls with short performance windows typical of sanitation services.

Customer concentration is extreme and geographically dispersed. The USDA Forest Service Southwestern Region (Region 3) dominates potential value despite ranking third by award count: 11 awards worth $12.7 million combined potential value, anchored by a $12.5 million Blanket Purchase Agreement for portable sanitation and wastewater services across Arizona and New Mexico national forests running through May 2028. The Federal Emergency Management Agency follows at 32 awards ($1.2 million potential value)—mostly small BPA task orders for portable toilets and handwashing stations at disaster staging areas—reflecting rapid-deployment, short-duration emergency response work. The Department of Army Corps of Engineers (16 awards, $682 thousand) places steady septic-pumping delivery orders under a $300,000 IDC for Texas capital-region lake maintenance through April 2026. The Mississippi National Guard (6 awards, $889 thousand) and the Department of Air Force Air Education and Training Command (4 awards, $381 thousand) round out the top five by potential value. The 87% coverage figure indicates the remaining 11% derives from scattered awards across eight other agencies (Navy, National Park Service, Customs and Border Protection, National Guard components, and others).

LNZ holds five named parent vehicles spanning three customer agencies. The $12.5 million USDA Forest Service Southwestern Region BPA (established May 2023, running through May 2028) is the largest and generates the highest-value calls—recent awards include $85,000 for Jemez Ranger District vault toilet pumping (June 2026), $24,200 for Coyote Ranger District vault toilet pumping (June 2026), and $20,500 for multi-location wastewater pumping services (August 2023), all set aside for total small business. FEMA maintains two BPAs: one worth $497,000 (set aside for small business, through October 2026) and another worth $200,000 (no set-aside, expired February 2024) for portable toilets, handwashing stations, and wraparound services at disaster relief staging areas; cumulative task orders under the active $497,000 BPA exceed $220,000. The Army Corps of Engineers issued a $300,000 IDC for septic pumping in the Texas capital region (set aside for small business, through April 2026), generating 14 task orders worth $182,000 combined potential value for services at Canyon, Georgetown, Granger, and Somerville Lakes. Most recently, the Mississippi National Guard awarded an $820,875 Indefinite Delivery Contract (December 2024, through November 2029) for portable latrine services at Camp Shelby, set aside for small business.

Activity has grown sharply: three awards in 2022 to 30 in 2024, then declining to ten in 2025 and six year-to-date in 2026 as of mid-June. Only five awards totaling $132,000 in potential value face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, representing modest recompete exposure. The USDA Forest Service BPA, which anchors 78% of the vendor's combined potential value, extends through May 2028 and faces no imminent recompete. Capability framing is narrow and concrete: LNZ specializes in septic tank and related services (76 of 79 awards, per NAICS), vault toilet pumping at national forests, portable latrine and handwashing-station rental and servicing at military installations and disaster staging areas, wastewater removal and disposal, and septic system inspections. Representative recent prime awards include the $131,180 aircraft latrine service contract with Air Education and Training Command at Keesler Air Force Base (October 2024, through September 2029), the $177,750 Great Sand Dunes National Park septic-pumping and portable-toilet rental contract (April 2024, ultimately cancelled), the $116,905 Customs and Border Protection septic waste removal services contract (June 2024, through June 2029), and the $57,960 two-stall mobile restroom trailer rental at Maxwell Air Force Base with AETC (May 2024, through April 2026). The vendor operates exclusively as a prime and holds no teaming relationships; all work is performed directly by LNZ.
