CKW Enterprises LLC

CKW Enterprises LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Las Cruces, New Mexico, supplies temporary facilities, equipment rentals, and operational support services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor, competing predominantly on full-and-open contracts without set-aside designations despite holding several total small business set-aside IDVs with the National Interagency Fire Center.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on portable sanitation facilities (toilets and hand-washing stations), multipurpose utility terrain vehicles, potable and gray water trucks, satellite communications services, waste management services, and tactical equipment support for land management, wildfire suppression, and emergency incident response. Representative work includes a $117,063 total small business set-aside definitive contract (April 2024) with Forest Service Region 3 for supply and servicing of 27 portable toilets and 12 hand-wash stations at Gila National Forest through September 2024; a $51,284 purchase order (August 2025) for utility terrain vehicles to support Forest Service operations in Albuquerque, New Mexico; a $49,939 purchase order (July 2025) for satellite services in Silver City, New Mexico; and a $47,587.50 purchase order (June 2025) for garbage dumpster and container services at national forest locations.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward Forest Service internal regions. The National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) dominates by potential value: 9 awards worth $15.8 million combined represent 87% of the vendor's total potential value and anchor four significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts. Forest Service Region 3 (Southwestern Region) dominates by award count: 85 awards worth $2 million combined represent 81% of all awards but only 11% of total potential value, reflecting numerous small tactical delivery orders and purchase orders averaging under $25,000 each. A single order from the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region for $20,500 (garbage dumpster service, June 2025) and scattered Forest Service awards from other regions round out the five-agency customer set.

The vendor holds four named parent IDVs through the National Interagency Fire Center: a $7.5 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract for multipurpose utility vehicles (awarded September 2022, expires December 2026) supporting Regions 3, 5, and 6 plus nationwide incident response; a $7.5 million multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement for portable toilets and hand-washing stations (awarded July 2022, expires June 2027) covering nationwide incident work; a $250,000 multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract for potable and gray water trucks and trailer-mounted hand-washing stations for Region 3-East Zone (awarded May 9, 2024, expires May 9, 2029); and a second $250,000 multiple-award contract of the same scope (awarded February 6, 2026, expires May 9, 2029). Task orders under these vehicles show heaviest utilization against the first two: 29 orders from IDC 1202RZ22T0055 and 23 orders from IDC 1202RZ22T0106, both firm fixed-price structures.

Activity has accelerated markedly in the past two years, rising from 7 awards in 2022 to 15 in 2024 and 43 in 2025, then tempering to 8 awards through mid-2026. The source data indicates combined potential value of $18.2 million across 104 prime awards, with only $2 million obligated to date — a 11% obligation rate typical of IDVs and blanket purchase agreements. The vendor's category footprint skews heavily toward equipment rental and portable facilities: the top five NAICS categories account for 118 of 104 awards, with Septic Tank and Related Services (32 awards), Truck/Utility Trailer/RV Rental and Leasing (28 awards), and Support Activities for Forestry (24 awards) leading. Corresponding PSC codes mirror this — Lease or Rental of Equipment: Toiletries (33 awards) and Lease or Rental of Equipment: Ground Effect Vehicles and Motor Vehicles (26 awards) dominate.

CKW Enterprises competes exclusively as a prime contractor with no sub-award activity in the source data. The vendor's federal footprint is entirely operationally focused on Region 3 and nationwide wildland fire support through the Forest Service and is concentrated in the Southwest; there is no defense, civilian IT, or non-forest-management customer presence in the award record.
