Gerhard Haas

Gerhard Haas, doing business as Sweetwater Enterprises, a California-based sole proprietorship, supplies mobile laundry units, potable water trucks, gray water trucks, and trailer-mounted hand wash stations to support wildland firefighting and emergency response operations across the U.S. Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center, operating exclusively as a prime contractor on small-business set-aside delivery orders and indefinite-delivery contracts.

Sweetwater Enterprises competes entirely under Total Small Business set-asides. The vendor's customer concentration is sharply focused on Forest Service operations. Top customers by award count account for 91% of recent awards: the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service Region 5-Pacific Southwest Region leads with 11 awards and $357 thousand combined potential value, followed by the Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center with 7 awards and $2.2 million combined potential value, and the Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management Federal Fire and Aviation Management office with 7 awards and $517 thousand. The dollar ranking and volume ranking align closely — the National Interagency Fire Center anchors the largest potential-value position. Sweetwater Enterprises has worked with 6 distinct customer agencies across all award history, but nearly all activity concentrates within the Department of Agriculture.

The vendor holds four indefinite-delivery contracts totaling $1.75 million in aggregate ceiling value. The largest is a $750 thousand IDIQ awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center on February 6, 2026, for mobile laundry units across Region 13 and subordinate national locations, running through June 5, 2028. A $500 thousand multiple-award IDIQ for potable and gray water trucks and trailer-mounted hand wash stations, Region 5 only, carries a total small business set-aside and runs through May 28, 2029. Two earlier BPA vehicles ($250 thousand each, both awarded June 5, 2023, and May 28, 2024) support similar equipment across Regions 3, 5, 6, and 13. Task orders against these vehicles have generated 5 orders under one IDIQ and 4 under one BPA. Recent representative delivery orders include a $72,163.25 firm fixed-price order from Forest Service Region 5 on August 12, 2026, for equipment delivery to Solvang, California, and a $34,578.17 order placed September 3, 2026, under the same regional contract.

Activity trajectory shows modest growth: one award in 2022, three in 2023, three in 2024, one in 2025, and four in 2026. Combined potential value across all 32 prime awards stands at $3.3 million, with $621 thousand obligated to date (19% utilization). The vendor's NAICS footprint centers on drycleaning and laundry services (19 awards) and support activities for forestry (13 awards), with nearly all work coded to natural resources and conservation forestry-range fire-suppression PSC. Sweetwater Enterprises has no subcontract presence and operates no parent vehicles; all work flows through Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center IDIQs and BPAs.
