El Dorado Water & Shower Service, Inc.

El Dorado Water & Shower Service, Inc., a small business based in Placerville, California, operates as a prime contractor specializing in mobile hygiene and logistical support infrastructure for wildland firefighting and emergency response operations, with 100% of recent awards issued without set-aside designation despite the vendor's small-business status. The company supplies mobile shower units, potable water trucks, hand washing stations, wastewater management equipment, and associated operation and maintenance services to federal agencies managing wildfire suppression and all-hazard incident response across the western United States.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, which accounts for 87% of recent awards and 94% of combined potential value. The National Interagency Fire Center (part of Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management) leads on dollar volume with 113 awards worth $56.3 million combined potential value, while Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) leads on award count with 121 orders totaling $12.8 million. Forest Service regional offices—Region 5, Region 6 (Pacific Northwest), Region 2 (Rocky Mountain), Region 4 (Intermountain), Region 1 (Northern), and Region 3 (Southwestern)—collectively represent the customer base for incident response logistics. Activity has declined modestly year over year, from forty awards in 2022 to twenty-one in 2026.

El Dorado holds six primary vehicle positions anchoring recent work. The largest is a $23.5 million Indefinite Delivery Contract for national mobile shower facilities awarded April 15, 2024 through December 31, 2028, under total small business set-aside, which has generated 122 task orders worth $5.8 million combined potential value. A $7.5 million IDC for incident support multipurpose off-highway vehicles (ATVs, MOHUVs, ROVs) runs through December 2025 and serves Regions 1–6 nationwide. Two $500,000 multiple-award IDCs awarded February 6, 2026 address incident base units for Region 5 and mobile laundry units nationwide, both set aside for total small business through 2028–2029. A $250,000 Blanket Purchase Agreement for call-when-needed shower units, awarded June 27, 2022, extends through April 2031. Additional smaller vehicles include a $250,000 potable and gray water truck / hand-washing station IDC for Region 5 running through May 2029, and regional BPAs and delivery-order vehicles ranging from $4,400 purchase orders to $764,778 delivery orders, predominantly issued on firm fixed-price, non-set-aside terms.
