Alpine Water Service, LLC

Alpine Water Service, LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Tonasket, Washington, operates as a prime contractor providing potable water trucks, gray water trucks, and trailer-mounted handwash stations for emergency response and wildfire suppression to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the National Interagency Fire Center. The company is a sole proprietorship limited liability company competing under full-and-open and total small business set-aside designations, with 100% of its recent federal award footprint held as prime contracts rather than subcontractor work.

Alpine Water Service draws customer concentration almost entirely from the Forest Service ecosystem. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R6 (Pacific Northwest Region) anchors the customer base with 25 awards worth $1.3 million in combined potential value, representing the overwhelming majority of the vendor's volume and dollars. The National Interagency Fire Center contributes 5 awards valued at $1.1 million, while the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R2 (Rocky Mountain Region) accounts for 3 awards at $150 thousand. The two top-customer rankings are identical — volume and dollars track in lockstep — signaling narrow customer concentration and deep integration with a single regional procurement ecosystem.

Alpine Water Service holds position on multiple indefinite delivery contracts spanning Forest Service regions. The vendor places task orders under IDC 1204H124T7055 (10 task orders, $374 thousand combined potential value) and IDC 1204H118T7299 (7 task orders, $202 thousand combined potential value), with additional work against five other vehicle mechanisms. Recent representative work includes a $45 thousand delivery order from the National Interagency Fire Center issued August 21, 2026, for rapid deployment to support emergency response in Boise, Idaho; a $51,600 delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 (September 1, 2025) for water support in Wenatchee, Washington; and a $90,850 delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 (July 15, 2024) supporting wildfire operations across Regions 3, 5, and 6. The vendor also holds two principal indefinite delivery contracts: a $500 thousand total small business set-aside multiple-award IDC from the National Interagency Fire Center (awarded February 6, 2026, expiring May 28, 2029) and a $250 thousand multiple-award IDC from the Forest Service (awarded May 28, 2024, expiring May 28, 2029), both structured to enable pre-season agreements and rapid task-order deployment during fire season.

Award activity has remained modest and flat — one award in 2021, two in 2022, five each in 2024 and 2025, and three in 2026 year-to-date. Combined potential value across all 34 awards totals $2.6 million, with $761 thousand obligated to date (29% realization). The vendor's service footprint is categorized as Support Activities for Forestry (NAICS, 32 awards) and Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (PSC, 31 awards), reflecting a narrow specialization in regional emergency water logistics rather than broader IT, logistics, or professional-services capabilities.
