Basin Water Tenders LLC is a small business located in Klamath Falls, Oregon, specializing in providing water handling equipment, vehicles, and services primarily to federal agencies, with a specific focus on wildland fire suppression and land management activities. The company is registered in SAM.gov through March 26, 2026, and operates as a Limited Liability Company, offering critical support to emergency response and fire management operations across multiple western United States regions. Its core competency involves deploying water tenders, support vehicles, and certified personnel to establish incident bases and transport water for wildfire response and all-hazard incident management.

Basin Water Tenders LLC has consistently received federal contract awards from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service, specifically in the Pacific Southwest (Region 5) and Pacific Northwest (Region 6) regions. Their federal contract awards have ranged from $13,262.10 to $28,520, typically involving delivery orders for water tender vehicles, equipment, and services supporting wildland fire suppression. These contracts are predominantly firm fixed-price delivery orders without specific set-aside designations, indicating open competition in the federal marketplace.

Basin Water Tenders LLC maintains three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the National Interagency Fire Center, each valued at $250,000. These multiple award, total small business set-aside contracts cover water handling services, vehicle with driver services, and equipment provisions for USFS Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10. The IDCs, effective through dates ranging from June 2025 to May 2030, enable expedited delivery orders for rapidly mobilizing water tenders, tanker vehicles, and related personnel during wildland fire and all-hazard incidents. These contracts utilize an Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement (I-BPA) mechanism, allowing the Forest Service to quickly acquire critical water handling assets through streamlined procurement processes, with contract scopes including Engines Type 3-6, Support Water Tenders Type 1-3, and Tactical Water Tenders Type 1-2.
