Past performance
Two completed Department of Defense task orders. They are modest in value, but the award data is public, so they need no client consent to cite.

Our largest public program is a multi-site deployment for a state military department in West Texas, running continuously since December 2022. It and eleven other programs are summarized on past performance. Named references, exact volumes and contacts are released on request under a mutual NDA.
How to buy
The order path is the same for a one-time delivery and a program: a quote, an order on your paperwork and an invoice on the account.
Call sales at (888) 588-2607 or request a quote with the sites, the services, the quantities and the dates. Each site is priced against local supply.
Send the purchase order or task order. Your PO number can be held on each site record, so it follows the work.
Ask us whether your purchase card can be used for the order. We confirm what we can accept before the order is placed.
Invoicing is consolidated on the account, with site detail behind it, and can be split by entity, region or cost center.
Federal thresholds
For federal buyers, as defined in FAR 2.101. Contingency, emergency and some other purchases use different figures, and your agency's own procedures apply.1
15,000dollars
Micro-purchase threshold
The base figure, before the exceptions below.
2,500dollars
Services under Service Contract Labor Standards
The micro-purchase threshold for services subject to 41 U.S.C. chapter 67. Your contracting office decides whether it applies.
2,000dollars
Construction under wage rate requirements
The micro-purchase threshold for construction subject to 40 U.S.C. chapter 31, subchapter IV.
350,000dollars
Simplified acquisition threshold
The base figure. Contingency and emergency acquisitions use higher figures.
Above the micro-purchase threshold and up to the simplified acquisition threshold, an acquisition is set aside for small business unless the contracting officer does not expect offers from two or more competitive small businesses.2 Detritus is registered as a small business.
The Governmentwide commercial purchase card is authorized for making and paying for purchases, and agency procedures should not limit it to micro-purchases.3 Your agency sets the card procedures.
State, county and city thresholds are set by each jurisdiction and are not covered here.
Your request for quote
A complete request gets a complete price. These are the details that change the quote for sanitation, waste and site services.
For quantities, see how many portable toilets and the dumpster size guide. For a full multi-site solicitation, the waste RFP template has a pricing form and scoring sheet.
DoD and installations
Both of our completed federal task orders are Department of Defense awards. On an installation, access rules shape the schedule: who can come on, when, and with what escort or vehicle checks.
Put those rules in the RFQ. The local provider placed on the work has to meet them before the first delivery, and we hold that provider relationship, so you deal with one contractor.
Ask us how provider access for your installation will be handled. We confirm what we can provide before the order is placed.
State and local
Public programs often mix scheduled service with emergency and mobilization response, and documentation can weigh as heavily as price. Our largest public program has run continuously for more than three years on a single deployment.
Each jurisdiction sets its own purchasing rules. Tell us the method you are using and the forms you need. Our accounts team completes supplier registrations and compliance questionnaires directly.
Buying through a cooperative or piggyback contract? Ask us. We confirm what we can offer at the start.
