Dynamite Water LLC

Dynamite Water LLC, a Scottsdale, Arizona-based for-profit limited liability company, supplies water-related equipment, services, and personnel for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident management to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the Department of the Interior National Park Service as a prime contractor operating entirely on full-and-open federal contracts without set-aside designation, though its recent indefinite delivery contracts carry total small business set-asides.

The company's capability portfolio centers on potable and gray water trucks, trailer-mounted handwashing stations, water tenders (Type 1 and Type 2), weed washing units with trained personnel, wastewater management, and vehicle-with-driver services for fire suppression and emergency response across western U.S. Forest Service regions and national parks. Representative delivery order examples include a $63,750 firm fixed price order from USDA Forest Service Region 3 (Southwestern Region) in May 2024 for water trucks and water handling services, a $218,250 blanket purchase agreement call from the National Park Service Intermountain Region in June 2023 for emergency water hauling to Grand Canyon National Park's North Rim, and a $117,000 delivery order from Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) in August 2023 for potable water and water tender services. The company has also delivered Type 1 water tenders valued at $90,750 and Type 2 water tenders totaling over $35,000 to the National Interagency Fire Center.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Forest Service. The top five funding entities account for 92% of recent award volume, dominated by the USDA Forest Service R3-Southwestern Region (48 awards, $2.3 million combined potential value) and the USDA Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (25 awards, $3.1 million combined potential value), with secondary positions held by the Department of the Interior National Park Service Intermountain Region (6 awards, $2.2 million combined potential value) and Forest Service Region 5 (6 awards, $373 thousand combined potential value). The two rankings align closely, indicating that regional concentration and dollar concentration track together — the Southwest Region drives both award count and dollars.

Dynamite Water operates primarily through multiple indefinite delivery contracts and blanket purchase agreements with the National Interagency Fire Center and regional Forest Service offices. The top parent vehicles are Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB22T7761 (24 task orders, $895 thousand combined potential value), Indefinite Delivery Contract 12837119T7022 (23 task orders, $1.1 million combined potential value), Indefinite Delivery Contract 12837118T7014 (22 task orders, $219 thousand combined potential value), and Blanket Purchase Agreement AG8371B157017 (9 task orders, $841 thousand combined potential value). The IDCs awarded in February 2026 and June 2025 under total small business set-asides carry $250,000 ceilings each and extend through 2028 to 2030, covering weed washing units, potable and gray water trucks with handwashing stations, and vehicle-with-driver services for Regions 3, 5, and 6. The Grand Canyon National Park North Rim emergency water hauling BPA, a single-award vehicle running through December 2023, was unrestricted (no set-aside) and has supported two nine-day calls totaling $456,500.

Activity has been volatile year over year — fourteen awards in 2022, twelve in 2023, fourteen in 2024, then a sharp drop to two awards in 2025 and four in 2026 (most recent award May 16, 2026). This trajectory reflects the seasonal and event-driven nature of wildland fire contracts and incident procurement. Combined potential value across 106 prime awards sits at $8.9 million, with $3.8 million obligated (43% realization). The vendor holds no subcontracting relationships in the source; all 106 awards position Dynamite Water as prime contractor. Work is performed across ten western states, primarily in Arizona and New Mexico for the Southwestern Region and California for the Pacific Southwest Region, with incident response capability spanning Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10. Primary NAICS classification is Support Activities for Forestry (100 of 106 awards), with primary PSC code Natural Resources/Conservation — Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (97 awards).
