Curfman Showers & Potable Water, L.l.c

Curfman Showers & Potable Water, L.L.C., a minority-owned small business based in Sierra Vista, Arizona, operates exclusively as a prime contractor supplying portable water infrastructure, shower trailers, fuel tenders, and related temporary equipment to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center under total small business set-aside vehicles. The company competes entirely within set-aside vehicles and holds no subcontract work. Curfman operates under NAICS 238990 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Q250 (Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression), delivering firm fixed-price delivery orders against multiple indefinite-delivery contracts and blanket purchase agreements spanning Forest Service Regions 3, 5, 6, 8, and 10 across the western United States.

Customer concentration is extreme and narrowly focused. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R3-Southwestern Region accounts for 107 of 145 awards (74% of all awards) and $4 million of $6.8 million in combined potential value. The National Interagency Fire Center adds 18 awards with $2.4 million in combined potential value, bringing the two entities to approximately 87% of recent award activity. Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions, the broader Forest Service organization, and Forest Service R4-Intermountain Region together account for the remaining 13 awards. This concentration reflects Curfman's specialized niche as a supporting vendor during wildland fire seasons and all-hazard incident response across the southwestern region.

Curfman places work through five principal parent vehicles: Blanket Purchase Agreement AG8371B157013 (18 task orders, $242 thousand combined potential value); Blanket Purchase Agreement AG8371B097292 (17 task orders, $697 thousand combined potential value); Indefinite Delivery Contract 12837118T7012 (16 task orders, $220 thousand combined potential value); Indefinite Delivery Contract 12837119T7019 (14 task orders, $310 thousand combined potential value); and Blanket Purchase Agreement AG8371B167010 (13 task orders, $197 thousand combined potential value). The company holds multiple active indefinite-delivery contracts awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center, including vehicles for water handling (Regions 3 and 8, $250 thousand ceiling through August 2030), fuel tenders (Region 3, $250 thousand ceiling through April 2028), and potable/gray water trucks with trailer-mounted handwashing stations (Region 3 East Zone, $500 thousand ceiling through May 2029). A Forest Service Region 3 IDIQ for potable and gray water services carries a $250 thousand ceiling through May 2029.

Recent representative work includes a $21,090 delivery order from Forest Service R3-Southwestern Region on May 22, 2026, for potable water and shower infrastructure supporting wildland firefighting in Alamogordo, New Mexico; a $15,540 delivery order on July 2, 2026, for portable water and shower services in Silver City, New Mexico; and a $9,896 delivery order on August 23, 2026, for water infrastructure in Santa Fe, New Mexico. All awards are firm fixed-price, with performance locations concentrated in New Mexico and Arizona during fire seasons and emergency response scenarios.

Activity fluctuates seasonally around fire cycles rather than showing sustained growth. Awards ranged from seven in 2022 to one in 2023 and 2024, with five in 2025 and six in 2026. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $6.8 million, with $2.3 million obligated (34% of potential). The company has sustained federal engagement since at least 2002, operating with near-total dependence on Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center task orders issued under dedicated small business set-aside vehicles with predictable annual renewal and on-ramp processes. Curfman's competitive posture centers on specialized equipment availability, regional geographic positioning, and established responsiveness to time-sensitive incident base camp and wildland fire suppression support requirements.
