Arkansas Soft Water LLC

Arkansas Soft Water LLC, a North Little Rock-based limited-liability sole proprietorship, provides water treatment equipment installation, maintenance, and repair services to federal agencies as a prime contractor under small-business set-asides and full-and-open competition. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) with no subcontract footprint, delivering deionized and ultra-pure water systems, water softening equipment, and associated plumbing work to three customer agencies across the civilian health and agricultural sectors.

All ten awards in the source span USDA Agricultural Research Service (7 awards, $215 thousand combined potential value), FDA (1 award, $274 thousand), and Department of Veterans Affairs (2 awards, $38 thousand). The FDA award, a $274,411 five-year firm-fixed-price purchase order executed in June 2023 for preventative maintenance and repair of a Siemens ultra-pure laboratory deionized water system at FDA facilities in Jefferson, Arkansas, running through June 2028, anchors the vendor's potential-value profile despite representing a single customer contract. USDA-ARS dominates by award count and recency: recent USDA work includes a $106,168 Total Small Business purchase order awarded September 18, 2026, to replace four Culligan depth filtration units and plumbing at Stuttgart, Arkansas (completion November 6, 2026); a $19,168 five-year small-business purchase order from August 2025 for deionized water system maintenance at Stuttgart through July 2030; and a $52,135 purchase order from June 2023 for Culligan water filter replacement. NAICS categorization clusters around water supply and irrigation systems (8 awards) and water purification equipment (4 awards under PSC J046 and related water-purification maintenance codes).

Activity has been episodic rather than consistently high-volume — one award in 2017, four in 2023, one each in 2024, 2025, and 2026 — with combined potential value of $528 thousand across all ten awards and $402 thousand obligated to date (76% realization). Two awards face completion within the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $381 thousand, representing significant recompete exposure. The vendor competes under both Total Small Business set-asides (USDA awards in 2025 and 2026) and full-and-open competition (FDA, USDA non-set-aside, and VA awards). Capability scope centers narrowly on Culligan and Siemens water system installation, maintenance, filter replacement, and system startup operations, with performance concentrated at two locations: Stuttgart, Arkansas (USDA-ARS facility) and Jefferson, Arkansas (FDA).
