Rahns Inc.

Rahns Inc., doing business as Rahn Sanitary Service, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business located in Enterprise, Oregon, specializing in providing comprehensive sanitation and waste management services to federal agencies. The company primarily serves the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, offering critical infrastructure support through portable toilets, hand washing stations, waste pumping, gray water trucks, shower trailers, and related sanitation equipment. Established prior to May 17, 2005 (its initial SAM.gov registration date), Rahns Inc. has developed a robust capability to support federal agency operations, particularly in remote and challenging environments such as national forests, recreation areas, and emergency response scenarios.

Through its federal contract awards, Rahns Inc. has consistently provided waste management and sanitation services across the Pacific Northwest region, particularly in Oregon and Washington. The company has been awarded numerous delivery orders, predominantly from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service's Region 6 - Pacific Northwest Region, with contract values ranging from a few hundred to over $170,000. These contracts are typically firm fixed-price delivery orders supporting vault toilet pumping, portable toilet rentals, waste disposal, and hygiene infrastructure maintenance. Most of these awards were not set aside for small businesses, though Rahns Inc. is a self-certified small disadvantaged business. The contracts have supported various operational needs, including incident response, infrastructure maintenance, wildfire suppression, and visitor services across national forests and recreation areas like the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest and Hells Canyon National Recreation Area.

Rahns Inc. holds several key indefinite delivery vehicle (IDV) contracts that enable rapid deployment of sanitation resources. These include a $7.5 million multiple-award IDV for portable toilets and hand wash stations through the National Interagency Fire Center, a $250,000 IDV for potable and gray water trucks with hand washing stations, and two $240,000 single-award IDVs for vault toilet pumping services across Oregon and Washington. These contracts are primarily set aside for total small businesses and support critical operations such as wildfire suppression, all-hazard incidents, prescribed fire projects, and land management activities. The IDVs allow federal agencies, particularly the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center, to quickly acquire essential sanitation infrastructure for incident response, maintaining sanitary conditions for responders, and supporting visitor services in remote locations.
