U.S. Navy, Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFACSYSCOM), Mid – Atlantic (MIDLANT), Public Works Department (PWD), and Facilities Engineering & Acquisitions Division (FEAD) MCRD Parris Island has a need for septic tank and related services to provide approximately 225 portable toilets and 48 handwashing stations throughout three (3) installations located in the Beaufort, SC area. The portable equipment and sanitary services provide support predominantly to MCRD Parris Island.

In addition to the equipment the contractor will be required to maintain, safeguard, relocate, and provide pumping and cleaning services for portable toilets and handwashing stations on a daily, weekly, and bi-weekly basis depending on location and training need. Due to training activities of MCRD some stations require additional cleaning and relocation services at certain locations to meet the needs of the USMC. Training schedules do alternate through the installations based on training cycles. Other supported activities require additional services and equipment for events such as an air show which will be ordered on a case by case basis by task order. The Navy is seeking qualified Commercial contractors with knowledge of providing and maintaining numerous portable toilets and handwashing stations experience with significant usage of equipment over a large area of responsibility such as three (3) military installations. The Navy in support of the USMC is seeking turn-key commercial practices to better support the providing of portable sanitary equipment in the most efficient and cost effective manner. Contractor oversight, surveillance and monitoring of services and equipment is required. While most equipment is highly visible some may require additional safeguarding from vandalism. Contractor shall ensure that services conducted have minimal down time due to critical USMC missions and training operations. Ideally, the Navy is seeking a firm that can oversee the entire operation of the portable sanitary systems for NAVFACSYSCOM. We welcome suggestions on alternative and innovative techniques and approaches to the supply of portal toilet facilities that can be responsive and agile to changing mission requirements. Also, the ability to record, manage, and maintain inventory of equipment that are in constant demand. Agility is key to the Navy. A contractor that can identify necessary services or respond to equipment casualties in less than four (4) hours would be preferred. A clear and defined Quality Control Plan and schedule to provide cleaning, pumping, monitoring and preventative maintenance based on industry or commercial standards that addresses the usage and movement of assets as well as the condition of equipment through contractor inspection that results in a communicated monthly plan to the Government on how best to use the equipment or alternative equipment is highly sought. In addition, the Navy is seeking a contractor with the ability to adapt to future year’s needs by captured data. The contractor’s ability to present data captured from the previous year of performance that tracks the usage, relocation, and experienced maintenance repair times to include cleaning, and maintenance outages and the ability to recommend changes would assist the Navy in the use of the equipment. The contractor would ideally advise the Navy on recommended performance improvements to address past experiences and operational schedules of the USMC in following option year’s performance. A suggested pre-priced ELIN performance based IDIQ contract is desired for the above sanitary related services. The Government’s intent is to establish a FFP for the equipment and all necessary services and order annually by task order for each installation.
