John P Erwert

John P. Erwert, doing business as All Terrain Firewater, operates as a sole proprietorship providing water transportation, logistics, and trained personnel for federal wildland firefighting operations, functioning exclusively as a prime contractor on small-business-set-aside and full-and-open delivery orders issued by the Department of Agriculture Forest Service.

All Terrain Firewater is headquartered in Bend, Oregon, and qualifies as a small business. The vendor operates across NAICS 332500 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression, with a tightly focused capability footprint: delivery of water tenders (Engines Type 3, 4, 5, 6; Support Water Tenders Type 1, 2, 3; Tactical Water Tenders Type 1, 2), trained operators, potable water transportation, and logistical support for emergency incident response and prescribed project work. All seventy-four awards in the source data reflect this single commodity. Representative work includes a $65,250 delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 (awarded June 26, 2025) for water transportation and fire suppression support in Central Oregon; a $56,550 small-business-set-aside order (June 25, 2025) for wildland firefighting water support also under Region 6; and a $32,200 delivery order (August 12, 2022) for water transportation services under the same region.

Customer concentration is absolute: one hundred percent of the seventy-four awards fund Forest Service operations. Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) anchors fifty-nine awards valued at $932 thousand combined potential value; the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center holds ten awards at $781 thousand combined potential value. The remaining five awards, valued at $43 thousand, belong to the Forest Service generically. No other federal agencies appear in the award portfolio.

All Terrain Firewater holds three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts, all set aside for small businesses and all issued by or flowing through the National Interagency Fire Center on behalf of Forest Service regions. The largest vehicle by task-order count is IDC 1202SB22T7773 (twenty-nine task orders, $257 thousand combined potential value), followed by Blanket Purchase Agreement AG04H1B167218 (twenty-eight task orders, $148 thousand combined potential value). A second IDC, 1204H119T7190, carries eight task orders valued at $63 thousand; and a third, 1204H125T7304, carries four task orders at $138 thousand combined potential value. The most recently awarded IDC—a multiple-award Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement for water handling in Region 6 with a $250,000 ceiling and performance through May 29, 2030—was awarded February 6, 2026, under small-business set-aside, alongside an earlier $250,000 IDC awarded May 29, 2025, also for Region 6 water handling. A third $250,000 IDC for West Zone water handling (Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10), awarded June 2, 2022, reached its ultimate completion date of June 6, 2025.

Activity peaked in 2023 with sixteen awards. Recent activity has declined sharply—four awards in 2025 and two in 2026—signaling either seasonal ordering patterns or narrowed purchase intent. The combined potential value across all seventy-four awards is $1.8 million, with $606 thousand obligated (34% of potential value), indicating modest invoiced revenue to date. No subcontract footprint exists; all work is prime. Set-aside posture is split between small-business-set-aside vehicle work and full-and-open delivery orders, with small-business designations recurring across the three active IDCs.
