Aaron W Bressoud

Aaron W Bressoud, doing business as Bressoud Water Transport, provides water transportation and water-handling services for wildland fire suppression and emergency response as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides and full-and-open delivery orders issued by the USDA Forest Service. The vendor is a HUBZone-certified sole proprietorship based in Orland, California, and self-certifies as a small disadvantaged business and women-owned small business, competing predominantly under small-business set-asides across its federal footprint.

Bressoud Water Transport's concrete capability is the provision of trained personnel, water-handling equipment, waterborne vessels, transportation, and lodging to support wildland fire management operations across the Pacific Southwest Region and the West Zone (Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10). Representative work includes a $28,098 firm fixed-price delivery order from the USDA Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region issued July 11, 2026, for water transportation of fire management personnel and equipment in Quincy, California; a $64,401 delivery order from the same region awarded September 4, 2025; and a $32,194 delivery order from June 2023 supporting wildland fire suppression efforts. All task orders carry firm fixed-price pricing under delivery-order contract authority.

Customer concentration is monolithic: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for 100% of recent awards across two operating entities. The Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center holds three IDIQs totaling $1 million in combined potential value; the Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5) holds seven awards totaling $189 thousand in combined potential value. The vendor holds two active indefinite delivery contracts awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center — one for $500,000 with ceiling and ultimate completion date of June 4, 2030, awarded February 6, 2026 under total small business set-aside, and a second for $250,000 with completion date June 4, 2030, awarded June 4, 2025, also under total small business set-aside. A third IDC for $250,000 (ultimate completion June 6, 2025, awarded June 1, 2022) has expired. These contracts are multiple-award vehicles; other federal agencies including the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs may place orders under them. The vendor operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data.

Activity across the vendor's window shows two awards in 2026, three in 2025, four in 2023, and one in 2022, with combined potential value of $1.2 million and combined obligated value of $189 thousand. The primary delivery-order vehicle (IDC 1202SB22T7330) has generated four task orders totaling $83 thousand; a second IDC (129J6125T7072) has generated three task orders totaling $107 thousand. All work falls under PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression and NAICS 541700 (Support Activities for Forestry).
