Peps Septic Pumping LLC

Peps Septic Pumping LLC, a for-profit partnership based in Salmon, Idaho, delivers septic pumping, vault toilet maintenance, portable sanitation equipment rental and service, and water truck services to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management across western federal lands as a 100% prime contractor, with 89% of recent awards concentrated among the Forest Service's Intermountain Region (Region 4) and the National Interagency Fire Center. The vendor competes predominantly under small-business set-asides (Total Small Business designations recur across roughly half the recent award stream), though it also holds competitive non-set-aside delivery orders and BPA calls with the Forest Service and BLM.

Peps Septic Pumping's customer concentration is extreme and regionally bound. The top five customer organizations account for 89% of recent awards by count, with the Forest Service Intermountain Region alone holding 55 awards valued at $2.2 million in combined potential value. However, the dollars-by-customer ranking is inverted: the National Interagency Fire Center anchors 100% of the combined potential value across all customers with eight awards totaling $16.2 million, driven by three large IDVs. The Interagency Fire Center awarded a $7.5 million multiple-award Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement for portable toilet and handwashing station supply and nationwide service through June 30, 2027, a $500 thousand indefinite-delivery contract for potable and gray water truck and handwashing station services across Forest Service Regions 1, 2, and 4 through May 22, 2029, and a $7.5 million Basic Ordering Agreement for portable toilets and related services through June 30, 2027. By contrast, Forest Service Intermountain Region work spans delivery orders and BPA calls for vault toilet pumping at named recreation sites (Halfway Gulch, Corn Creek Campground, Meadow Lake Campground, Twin Creek Campground, Wagonhammer Picnic Area) and septic pumping at ranger stations and fire facilities, with individual order values typically in the $10 thousand to $45 thousand range.

Peps Septic Pumping holds five named parent vehicles spanning both regional maintenance work and national incident-response capacity. The Forest Service Intermountain Region maintains a $975 thousand single-award BPA for vault toilet pumping across six named National Forests (Payette, Boise, Sawtooth, Salmon-Challis, Caribou-Targhee, Bridger Teton) through August 31, 2027, under which nine task orders have been issued. The Interagency Fire Center vehicles (the three noted IDVs above) collectively represent the lion's share of ceiling value but carry task-order counts between 7 and 8 each. The vendor also works under a Forest Service $250 thousand VIPR I-BPA for water truck and handwashing station services across Regions 1, 2, and 4 and a $975 thousand capability agreement with BLM Idaho Region for vault toilet maintenance on BLM recreational lands. Concrete recent examples include a $30 thousand BPA call (June 2026) for vault toilet pumping at seven named recreation sites on the North Zone of the Salmon-Challis National Forest, a $28 thousand delivery order (August 2026) for septic pumping services in Dillon, Montana, and a $4 thousand delivery order (August 2026) for septic pumping supporting federal land management operations in Sparks, Nevada, all under Total Small Business set-asides.

Peps Septic Pumping's work is concentrated in two NAICS categories—Support Activities for Forestry (42 awards) and Septic Tank and Related Services (41 awards)—and in two PSC codes: Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (33 awards) and Housekeeping–Waste Treatment/Storage (11 awards). Activity was heaviest in 2024 (18 awards) with lighter recent years (4 awards in 2025, 4 in 2026 year-to-date); only one award reaches ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months ($30 thousand combined potential value), creating minimal recompete cliff exposure. The vendor has maintained federal registration since 2009 and has accumulated roughly $18.9 million in combined potential value across 95 awards since that time, though only $1.6 million (8%) has been obligated to date, reflecting the contractor's reliance on ceiling values from large IDVs not yet fully drawn. Place of performance spans National Forests and BLM recreational lands across Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, and Nevada, with administrative performance centered at Salmon, Idaho.
