Talon Septic LLC

Talon Septic LLC, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business based in Elephant Butte, New Mexico, operates as a limited liability company providing portable sanitation services and septic system maintenance to federal land-management agencies as a prime contractor under small-business set-asides and full-and-open designations. The vendor competes predominantly under total small business set-asides, though recent work includes non-set-aside purchase orders alongside set-aside delivery orders and task orders.

Talon Septic's capability portfolio centers on portable toilet rentals, septic tank pumping and servicing, and handwashing station deployment for wildland fire response, emergency operations, and routine facility maintenance across federal recreation and natural-resources sites. Representative work includes a $7.5 million Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement (I-BPA) awarded May 1, 2025, by the National Interagency Fire Center under total small business set-aside for portable sanitation equipment supporting wildland fire and emergency response operations across the Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service through June 30, 2027. Talon also holds a $306,274.60 purchase order from the Bureau of Reclamation (awarded May 1, 2026, under total small business set-aside) for twice-weekly routine sewage lift-station pumping services at Elephant Butte Historic District Dam Site Recreation Area in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, running through December 31, 2027. Recent smaller awards include a $36,337.50 delivery order from the Forest Service for portable sanitation in Kalispell, Montana (August 18, 2026, total small business set-aside) and a $66,330 purchase order from the Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region for portable toilet rentals in Boise (June 1, 2025, no set-aside applied).

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward federal fire-management and land-stewardship organizations. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center anchors 97% of combined potential value (two awards totaling $15 million), while the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation ($306 thousand) and Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region ($66 thousand) round out the portfolio. Award activity remains modest and episodic — two awards in 2023, one in 2024, two in 2025, and two in 2026 — with a combined potential value of $15.4 million across seven prime awards and only $260 thousand in obligated dollars to date (2% realization). One purchase order worth $306 thousand reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating near-term recompete exposure for the Bureau of Reclamation lift-station pumping contract.
