Purchase Order 1202RZ26K5017

The U.S. Forest Service, Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region), awarded a $59,117.50 firm fixed-price purchase order to Allens Water Tender Service Inc. on October 6, 2025, for wildland fire management support services at the Lower Sugarloaf location in Wenatchee, Washington. The contract, which does not utilize a small business set-aside, calls for Type 3 excavator services and is scheduled for completion by October 18, 2025. Allens Water Tender Service Inc., based in Buhl, Idaho, and operating under the "Allen's" trade name, is a well-established small business contractor registered in SAM.gov since 2004, with extensive experience providing critical fire suppression and land management resources to federal agencies throughout the western United States.

This award reflects Allens' strategic role in the Forest Service's emergency response and land management operations. The company maintains a $50 million Blanket Purchase Agreement for Land Management Integrated Resources with the Forest Service through March 2033, as well as multiple indefinite delivery contracts through the Virtual Incident Procurement system. These vehicles enable rapid deployment of equipment and personnel for firefighting and resource management activities. The current purchase order for excavator services supports the agency's ongoing wildland fire management capabilities in the Pacific Northwest Region, with the short performance window indicating urgent operational needs at the Lower Sugarloaf site.
