Southern Septic Service, Inc.

Southern Septic Service, Inc. is a woman-owned small business based in Portland, Oregon, specializing in portable sanitation services for federal agencies, particularly those involved in land management and emergency response. Registered in SAM.gov since 2004, the company is structured as a Subchapter S Corporation and provides critical infrastructure support through portable toilet rentals, handwashing stations, and septic pumping services. Its primary focus is supporting federal land management agencies, with a particular emphasis on providing sanitation solutions for wildland firefighting and other emergency response operations.

The company has consistently secured federal contract awards from civilian agencies, predominantly the U.S. Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region and the National Interagency Fire Center. Its contract awards range from small purchase orders for specific locations like Fish Watch sites to substantial incident-related contracts supporting wildfire management. Most contracts are not set aside, though some have been designated for total small business participation. Southern Septic Service has delivered portable toilets and handwashing stations for various emergency scenarios, including COVID-19 response and multiple wildfire incidents. Contract values have ranged from approximately $3,850 to $617,000, demonstrating the company's capacity to handle both small-scale and large-scale sanitation service requirements for federal agencies.

Southern Septic Service, Inc. holds two significant Indefinite Delivery Vehicles (IDVs) that enable its federal contract work. The first is a $7.5 million Basic Ordering Agreement with the National Interagency Fire Center, valid from June 2024 to June 2027, which covers portable toilets and handwashing stations for wildland fire and emergency response incidents across multiple federal land management agencies. The second is a $100,000 Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region for vault septic pumping services, effective through April 2032. These IDVs allow the company to efficiently provide critical sanitation infrastructure and services to support federal land management and emergency response efforts, with the ability to serve agencies including the Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
