P.u. Septic Service, Inc.

P.u. Septic Service, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Somerton, Arizona, operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards) delivering portable sanitation and wastewater management services to the Department of Defense across the southwestern United States, primarily under total small business set-asides. The company has maintained continuous federal vendor registration since July 2001 and competes almost entirely under set-aside vehicles, with 106 awards coded to septic tank and related services (NAICS 541380) and the remainder split across waste collection and portable equipment rental categories.

P.u. Septic Service's customer concentration sits heavily with the Department of Defense. The top five customers account for 86% of awards by count and 95% by combined potential value. The U.S. Marine Corps dominates the footprint, anchoring 60 awards worth $11.7 million combined potential value. The Department of the Army Installation Management Command Southwest Region follows with 10 awards worth $8.3 million, the Department of the Army Test and Evaluation Command with 17 awards worth $7.6 million, the Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command with 11 awards worth $856 thousand, and the Department of the Army Arizona Army National Guard with 7 awards worth $242 thousand. The remaining nine customer agencies are civilian (Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management and others) and carry minimal volume.

P.u. Septic Service holds two anchor indefinite delivery contracts that drive its capacity. A $3.6 million single-award Marine Corps IDC (October 1, 2023 through April 30, 2028, set-aside as total small business) covers chemical toilets, grease trap services, portable latrines, and related sanitation infrastructure at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma and subordinate locations in Arizona. A $3.618 million Army Installation Management Command Southwest Region purchase-order IDC (August 1, 2025 through July 31, 2030, also total small business set-aside) covers chemical latrine rentals, pumping operations, and portable sanitation at Army testing and training facilities. These two vehicles provide approximately $7.2 million in combined contracting capacity. Additional task-order vehicles under Navy and Army Test and Evaluation Command IDCs place 21, 19, 13, and 12 task orders respectively, with combined potential values ranging from $730 thousand to $3.2 million per vehicle.

Recent delivery orders exemplify the company's core service portfolio: a $200,779 Marine Corps order (August 2025) for chemical toilets at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma under weapons training instruction operations; a $387,808 Army Test and Evaluation Command order (November 2024) for portable latrines at Martinez Lake, Arizona in support of special events; a $231,666 Marine Corps order (August 2024) for non-recurring chemical toilet services across Yuma installations; a $113,226 Marine Corps order (December 2024) for chemical toilets under total small business set-aside; and a $6,802 Air Force order (July 2025) for 18 portable toilets and 10 hand washing stations with three-times-weekly pump-out service supporting Exercise Emerald Warrior 25 at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma. The company also holds a $229,605 Bureau of Land Management purchase order (awarded May 2022, total small business set-aside, ultimate completion May 31, 2027) for toilet pumping services at the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreational Area near El Centro, California.

Activity has tracked steady over the past five years — seven awards in 2022, thirteen in 2023, ten in 2024, twelve in 2025, and two to date in 2026. Only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, carrying a combined potential value of $230 thousand, signaling minimal recompete cliff exposure in the near term. The vendor's award footprint is concentrated in Yuma, Arizona and surrounding Arizona military installations, with subordinate work at Martinez Lake, Arizona and the Imperial Sand Dunes area. P.u. Septic Service operates as a specialized regional provider with no subcontract footprint — all 122 awards are prime awards — and no parent-contract vehicles or GWAC positions outside the Defense Department's direct-award IDC structure.
