5T Water LLC

5T Water LLC, a sole proprietorship based in Stephenville, Texas, provides water handling and logistical support services for wildland fire suppression and emergency response operations to the U.S. Forest Service and interagency fire management centers as a prime contractor under Total Small Business set-asides.

The vendor's entire award footprint—100% of recent awards—consists of prime contracts in the forestry support and wildfire suppression space. All seven awards across the past eighteen months have been issued under Total Small Business set-asides, with five of those awards placed as delivery orders against a single indefinite-delivery contract (IDC 1202SB25T7202) valued at up to $500 thousand. The two largest awards are the National Interagency Fire Center water-handling IDCs: a $500 thousand multiple-award contract awarded February 6, 2026, and a $250 thousand VIPR (Virtual Incident Procurement) Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement awarded May 6, 2025. Both vehicles carry firm fixed-price terms and run through May 6, 2030, with geographical scope covering USDA Forest Service Regions 3 and 8. The originating solicitation, posted February 4, 2025, sought equipment, personnel, transportation, and logistical resources for wildland fire protection, prescribed project work, and emergency response, with vendor selection emphasizing proximity to dispatch centers and ability to meet emergency response timelines.

Customer concentration is absolute: 100% of awards flow through Department of Agriculture Forest Service components, with the National Interagency Fire Center anchoring $750 thousand (76% of combined potential value) across its two IDC awards. The vendor's regional footprint spans Colorado (Delta), New Mexico (Rio Rancho and Alamogordo), and Florida (Tallahassee), reflecting the geographic spread of fire and emergency response requirements. Recent delivery-order activity includes a $103,172 order from the Rocky Mountain Region dated July 1, 2026, a $67,200 order from the Southwestern Region dated May 19, 2026, and a $41,086 order from the Southern Region dated April 23, 2026, all under Total Small Business set-asides with firm fixed-price terms and completion windows of one to two months. Activity has accelerated from two awards in 2025 to five in 2026. Combined potential value across all awards is $984 thousand, with $234 thousand obligated to date (24% utilization). All seven awards are categorized under NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression. The vendor holds no parent IDIQs or GWACs and operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no documented subcontract relationships.
