Procurement of Mobile Toilets

The following information can be referred to for the procurement of mobile toilets:

I. Procurement Case Reference The Integrated Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau of Xinjin District, Chengdu, once carried out the 2026 Mobile Public Toilet Procurement Project (Second Attempt). This project was terminated and re-procured due to significant defects in the bidding documents. Specifically, the requirement for instant electric water heaters to have mandatory energy-saving certification was not a legal requirement for such products, making it impossible for suppliers to meet the conditions. This case reminds procurement parties to strictly review the reasonableness of the terms in bidding documents to avoid affecting project progress due to technical parameters or certification requirements that are out of touch with reality. The original procurement budget for this project was 862,000 yuan, which can serve as a reference benchmark for budget planning in similar projects.

II. Procurement Channel Selection

1. B2B Platform Sources: Suppliers can be directly screened through platforms such as Baidu Ai-Procurement. These platforms offer various types of mobile toilets, including waterless packaging types (suitable for scenarios without water sources), single-person portable types (suitable for temporary events), rural practical types (focusing on cost-effectiveness and durability), and construction site-specific types (emphasizing large capacity and stain resistance). Before procurement, it is necessary to clarify the usage scenario, number of people, and environmental conditions to match functional requirements.
2. Manufacturer Customization Services: Some manufacturers support personalized customization. For example, Xinjiang Juxintaijie Environmental Protection Facilities Co., Ltd. provides convenient public toilet rental and customization services, which can be adapted to special scenarios such as scenic spots and exhibitions. Dezhou Hongtu Metal Products Co., Ltd. once customized a grille-style toilet for a Tianjin customer, including 12 squatting positions, to meet large-scale usage needs. When customizing, it is necessary to clarify core parameters such as size, material, and sewage discharge method (such as direct discharge or fecal storage tank).

III. Key Considerations

1. Compliance Review: Avoid setting unreasonable certification requirements (such as non-mandatory energy-saving certification) to ensure that bidding documents comply with laws and regulations such as the Government Procurement Law and prevent project failure.
2. Functional Suitability: Select the type according to the usage scenario. For example, rural areas can prioritize waterless packaging types to reduce operation and maintenance costs, while construction sites need to choose metal toilets with strong impact resistance.
3. Budget Control: Refer to the budget of similar projects (such as the 862,000 yuan case) and adjust the budget range in combination with customization requirements (such as the number of squatting positions and additional functions) to avoid overspending.
4. After-sales Service: Prioritize suppliers that provide installation, maintenance, and consumable supply services to ensure long-term usage stability.
