Autobrot Water LLC

Autobrot Water LLC, a Medford, Oregon-based for-profit limited liability company, provides water handling equipment, weed washing units, and fully staffed tactical water tenders for wildland firefighting, all-hazard incident response, and prescribed fire operations to the federal government exclusively as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The vendor operates 100% as a prime across 44 awards with no subcontract footprint, competing under the U.S. Forest Service's Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system and holding multiple small-business-reserved indefinite delivery contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center and Forest Service regions.

Autobrot Water's customer base is highly concentrated in the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service. The top customer by award count—Forest Service Region 6, Pacific Northwest Region—has issued 22 delivery orders for $935 thousand in combined potential value. The National Interagency Fire Center (Fire and Aviation Management), however, anchors most of the dollars: 14 awards valued at $2.6 million combined potential value. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region and Forest Service Region 5 Pacific Southwest Region account for the remaining awards. These five customer groupings represent 100% of Autobrot Water's recent activity. The vendor's category concentration is sharp: all 44 awards fall under NAICS Support Activities for Forestry, with 41 awards coded to Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression PSC and three to Fire Fighting Equipment PSC.

Autobrot Water holds six active indefinite delivery contracts, all issued through VIPR as total small business set-asides and all with five-year periods of performance extending through 2029 or 2030. The largest vehicle, awarded February 6, 2026, carries a $500 thousand ceiling for weed washing units across Regions 3, 5, and 6. A second $500 thousand IDC awarded the same date covers water handling equipment—Engines Type 3–6, Support Water Tenders Type 1–3, and Tactical Water Tenders Type 1–2—for Region 6 Pacific Northwest Region. Two additional $250 thousand IDCs from 2025 and 2024 cover potable and gray water truck/handwashing stations (Region 6 only) and weed washing units (Regions 3, 5, and 6). A third $250 thousand IDC from June 2022 for water handling across Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10 remains active. The top three parent vehicles by task-order count—contracts 1202SB22T7432, 1202SB22T8202, and 1204H119T7403—carry 11, 8, and 6 task orders respectively with combined potential values of $257 thousand, $158 thousand, and $146 thousand.

Representative prime work includes a $78.4 thousand delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 on August 3, 2024, for water services and weed washing units; a $53.77 thousand order from the same region on September 14, 2023, for water handling services and weed washing units; and a $50.5 thousand purchase order from the Department of Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region on June 1, 2025, for a weed washing unit. Most recently, Autobrot Water received a $25.375 thousand small-business-set-aside delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 on July 28, 2026, for water services and support equipment in Roseburg, Oregon.

Activity has remained cyclical, with award counts rising from 5 in 2022 to 10 in both 2023 and 2025, softening to 7 in 2024, and declining to 4 year-to-date in 2026. Combined potential value across all 44 awards totals $3.8 million, though only $769 thousand (20% of potential value) has been obligated to date, indicating that many IDC vehicles remain underutilized relative to their ceilings. Place of performance spans U.S. Forest Service Regions 3, 5, and 6 (Pacific Northwest, Pacific Southwest, and Southwestern regions) and Bureau of Land Management operations in Idaho, with administrative and dispatch oversight centered in the Pacific Northwest and at the National Interagency Fire Center.
