Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on prior contract 140F0521P0130 awarded to KJK Waste Management for $52,500 (07/27/21–07/26/26). The prior award is described as OR-SHELDON-HART MTN NWRC-PLUMBING SVS and the current requirement calls for commercial vault toilet pumping on an as-needed basis, including pumping/servicing, waste transportation and disposal, and spill prevention/cleanup at the same Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge location. The overlap in facility type and sanitation/waste handling activities suggests the new effort may be a continuation of the same services.
