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 wildland fire suppression and land management support to federal land management agencies as a prime contractor across 159 awards valued at $75.9 million in combined potential value. The company competes predominantly full-and-open on non-set-aside delivery orders and purchase orders, though it holds multiple small-business-set-aside indefinite delivery contracts and a $50 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement through the U.S. Forest Service.

Allen's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Department of Agriculture Forest Service and subordinate components. The top five customers account for 70% of recent awards by count but dominate the dollar concentration differently: the Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions anchors $50.6 million of the combined potential value (66% of the total) through the single $50 million Land Management Integrated Resources (LMIR) BPA awarded June 12, 2023, running through March 6, 2033. The Forest Service Research Service Rocky Mountain Research Station accounts for 33 awards and $16 million (21%), the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center holds 20 awards for $3.4 million, the Intermountain Region (Region 4) maintains 30 awards for $2.5 million, and the Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region accounts for 14 awards and $995 thousand. All other federal agencies combined represent less than 3% of potential value. Recent representative work includes a $285,135 delivery order for water tender services to Forest Service Region 4 in July 2024, a $161,370 purchase order for fuel-break mowing with the Bureau of Land Management in September 2024 under a small-business set-aside, and a $69,170.25 delivery order for water tender services supporting the Cottonwood Peak Fire under the Virtual Incident Procurement system in June 2025.

Allen's operates task orders across multiple Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center IDIQs: an Indefinite Delivery Contract (1284M820T7115) with 11 task orders totaling $624 thousand; a Blanket Purchase Agreement (AG84M8B177118) with 10 task orders totaling $384 thousand; three additional IDIQs (1202SB22T7178, 1202SB23T7300, and INLNAC040148) each carrying 9 task orders. The vendor holds multiple small-business-set-aside IDIQs awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center in February and May 2025 for water handling, heavy equipment with water, and miscellaneous heavy equipment across East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9, each capped at $250 thousand through 2028–2030. A $7.5 million multiple-award IDIQ for prescribed fire and support services in the Intermountain Region was awarded September 8, 2025, running through September 7, 2028.

Activity has grown modestly from 13 awards in 2022 to 15 in 2025, with 5 awards recorded as of late May 2026; combined obligated dollars stand at $6.1 million (8% of potential value), indicating that most of Allen's ceiling exposure remains unexercised. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on wildland fire suppression and land management: 144 of 159 awards fall under NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), with 113 awards coded to PSC 6520.1 (Natural Resources/Conservation — Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression). Deliverables include water tenders, dozers, excavators, feller bunchers, masticators, graders, and operator support deployed across the western United States, with performance spanning Idaho, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Washington. Place of performance has shifted between the vendor's registered headquarters in Buhl, Idaho and secondary operations in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Salmon, Idaho.
