Allens Water Tender Service Inc.

Allens Water Tender Service Inc., doing business as Allen's, a woman-owned small business based in Buhl, Idaho, provides water tender services, heavy equipment rentals with skilled operators, and fuel-break mowing to federal land management agencies as a prime contractor across 167 awards valued at $77.5 million combined potential value. The vendor competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides, which dominate its IDIQs and many individual task orders, though a substantial portion of recent delivery orders carry no set-aside designation.

Allen's customer base is heavily concentrated in the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management across western regions. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions anchors 71% of potential value ($50.6 million) through the $50 million Land Management Integrated Resources (LMIR) single-award BPA awarded June 2023 and running through March 2033. The Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station (Region 4) represents 33 awards and $16 million in potential value, primarily for water handling and prescribed fire support services. The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 20 awards ($4.4 million combined potential), and the Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region has placed 17 awards ($1.2 million). The concentration reflects the vendor's specialization: 152 of 167 awards fall under NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), and 118 awards carry PSC 6520.1 (Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression).

Allen's vehicle position centers on multiple small-business-set-aside Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs) under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system. The vendor holds at least eight separate IDIQs with the National Interagency Fire Center and Forest Service, each capping at $250,000 to $500,000, covering water handling, heavy equipment with water, miscellaneous heavy equipment (including feller bunchers, masticators, graders, and skidders), and prescribed fire support across East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 through 2028–2030. The LMIR BPA with a $50 million ceiling (no set-aside, single award) is the dominant vehicle by dollar magnitude and extends through 2033. Task order activity across the top five vehicles totals approximately $3.7 million combined potential value and reflects rapid-dispatch emergency procurement typical of wildland fire operations.

Activity has remained steady over the past five years—averaging 11–15 awards annually—with 13 awards in 2026 year-to-date (as of August 10, 2026). Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal: only three awards totaling $135 thousand face completion inside that window. The vendor operates from headquarters in Buhl, Idaho, with secondary operations in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Salmon, Idaho, enabling regional deployment across western states including Idaho, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Washington. Recent representative awards include a $285.1 thousand delivery order from Forest Service Region 4 (Intermountain) for water tender services in Idaho (July 2024), a $161.4 thousand purchase order from BLM Idaho Region for fuel-break mowing under the FY24 Tri-State Fuel Breaks program (September 2024), a $7.5 million IDIQ for prescribed fire and support services across twelve Intermountain National Forests (September 2025), and a series of recent 2026 task orders ranging from $15.4 thousand to $167.2 thousand for water tender and fuel-break mowing work in Idaho, Utah, Colorado, and Washington. The vendor has been registered in SAM since 2004 and maintains consistent engagement with the same customer agencies, positioning it as an established resource for emergency response and land management in the western wildland-urban interface.
