Ridgecrest Septic Services Inc.

Ridgecrest Septic Services Inc., doing business as Ridgecrest Septic Services, is a woman-owned small business and self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Ridgecrest, California, that provides portable sanitation equipment rental, maintenance, and septic services to federal installations as a prime contractor (82% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor on Department of Navy base operations support programs. The company operates in the portable-sanitation market, delivering portable toilets, hand-washing stations, executive restroom trailers, and grease-trap services to military facilities in the Southwest region.

Ridgecrest's customer base is concentrated at a single Navy installation. The Naval Air Warfare Center (Naval Air Systems Command) accounts for ten awards and $1.4 million in combined potential value — 88% of all awards and 93% of the combined potential-value portfolio. The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Southwestern Region, the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Job Corps, the Air Force Air Combat Command, and the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command round out the active set, but with minimal volume and dollar magnitude. The concentration reflects Ridgecrest's geographic footprint in Ridgecrest and China Lake, California, where Naval Air Warfare Center and Naval Air Station China Lake are anchor customers.

Ridgecrest places task orders under three Navy indefinite-delivery vehicles: N6247320D0051 (2 task orders), N6247325D0013 (1 task order), and N6247490A6274 (1 task order), all tied to China Lake base operations and facility support. Recent prime awards include a $114 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from Naval Air Warfare Center (awarded November 2021, completed October 2022) for portable toilets, hand-washing stations, and executive restroom trailers on North and South Range lands, a $7 thousand restroom-rental purchase order for a Naval Air Warfare Center testing event (awarded September 2022), and a $12.1 thousand Air Combat Command purchase order (awarded December 2025) for delivery and daily maintenance of two portable toilets for thirty days in support of an aircraft incident at Searles Valley, California. In its subcontractor role, Ridgecrest delivers portable toilet rentals, hand-washing stations, and grease-trap services to Alutiiq Logistics & Maintenance Services under Navy base operating support task orders at Naval Air Station China Lake (recent sub awards in June 2024, August 2025, and September 2025).

Award activity is sparse and episodic. The source carries awards spanning from 1990 through December 2025, with only three awards in the past five years (2024 and 2025). The combined potential value across all seventeen awards totals $1.5 million, though obligated dollars ($2.2 million) exceed the ceiling by 43%, indicating contract modifications and task-order growth. No awards carry small-business set-aside designations. Ridgecrest competes full-and-open on full-and-open procurements, positioning the woman-owned and small disadvantaged business certifications as customer-selection factors rather than vehicle eligibility gates.
