Plumas Sanitation, Inc.

Plumas Sanitation, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Portola, California, operates as a prime contractor providing portable toilet rentals, vault and septic pumping, waste removal, and restroom cleaning services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the National Interagency Fire Center across western regions, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides.

Plumas Sanitation's customer base concentrates heavily within the Forest Service. The top five customer entities account for 93% of recent awards, led by the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) with 70 awards valued at $11.1 million combined potential value, followed by the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center with five awards valued at $8.5 million. The Federal Fire and Aviation Management program (31 awards, $1.1 million), the Forest Service proper (5 awards, $298 thousand), and Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region, 2 awards, $192 thousand) round out the portfolio. The dual rankings align closely: Region 5 dominates both volume and dollars, while the National Interagency Fire Center anchors the highest-value awards despite fewer placements.

Plumas Sanitation's capability work spans wildfire incident response, routine national forest sanitation maintenance, and emergency-relief operations. Representative awards include a $7.5 million single-award blanket purchase agreement with Region 5 (awarded September 23, 2022, running through September 25, 2027) for regional vault toilet and septic tank pumping services across Plumas, Tahoe, and Six Rivers national forests; a $7.5 million multiple-award incident blanket purchase agreement with the National Interagency Fire Center (awarded July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2027) for portable toilets, wheelchair-accessible portable toilets, and handwashing stations supporting fire suppression and all-hazard incidents nationwide; and a $500,000 multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract with the National Interagency Fire Center (awarded February 6, 2026, through May 28, 2029) for potable and gray water truck and handwashing station trailers restricted to Region 5. Additional active IDVs include a $250,000 multiple-award contract with the National Interagency Fire Center for potable and gray water trucks and trailer-mounted handwashing stations (May 28, 2024 through May 28, 2029). Delivery orders flowing from these vehicles range from small routine maintenance tasks (under $5,000) to incident-driven orders in the $50,000 range. Recent activity shows 122 total prime awards (100% of the footprint) issued between 2005 and July 2026, with seven awards in 2026 and nine in 2024, trending modest and episodic. Two awards total approximately $408 thousand in combined potential value with completion dates inside the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure.

The portfolio skews heavily toward two NAICS categories: Septic Tank and Related Services (60 awards) and Support Activities for Forestry (58 awards), reflecting the vendor's core regional position as a specialized sanitation provider for federal land management. Place of performance spans Plumas County and adjacent California national forests, with incident-response work spanning nationwide at the National Interagency Fire Center level but executed primarily out of Quincy and Portola, California. The vendor reports $4 million in obligated dollars against $21.5 million in combined potential value across all awards (19% obligation rate), indicating a backlog of unexercised BPA ceilings typical of small-business sanitation vendors serving land-management agencies with variable annual demand.
