RIO GRANDE BENTONITE INC

RIO GRANDE BENTONITE INC specializes in septic tank maintenance, wastewater system servicing, and related environmental infrastructure support, primarily serving rural and remote federal properties. Their technical expertise includes septic system inspection, pumping, line clearing, and compliance-driven waste containment operations, often performed on USDA-managed lands such as national forests, research stations, and rural housing facilities. The contractor also provides solid waste collection services using standardized dumpster and container logistics, alongside equipment rental for construction and forestry machinery, indicating operational flexibility across remote site maintenance needs. Their ability to execute multiple concurrent service orders under standardized contract identifiers suggests a well-organized field operations capability tailored to dispersed, low-density federal installations. The Department of Agriculture is the sole agency in their award history, with consistent, recurring engagements across multiple geographic locations in Colorado and New Mexico. These contracts reflect a long-standing relationship centered on sustaining sanitation and waste management infrastructure on USDA-owned properties, particularly in rural and forested regions where centralized utilities are unavailable. The contractor’s work supports USDA’s mission to ensure public health and environmental compliance in underserved areas, often requiring rapid response and on-site adaptability. Their primary industry focus is in septage management and solid waste collection under NAICS 562991 and 562111, positioning them as a niche provider for federal land management agencies requiring decentralized waste solutions. They are not engaged in large-scale municipal services but rather in mission-critical, location-specific environmental support for federal properties. Their ancillary work in machinery leasing under NAICS 532412 complements their field operations, enabling self-sufficiency in equipment deployment. As a small, locally based entity in Alamosa, Colorado, RIO GRANDE BENTONITE INC operates as a 2L structure with no federal certifications. Their market positioning is defined by geographic proximity to USDA facilities and deep familiarity with the logistical challenges of servicing remote, federally managed lands without centralized infrastructure.
