Home Style Water Tendin', LLC

Home Style Water Tendin', LLC, doing business as Homestyle Water Tendin, is a minority-owned, Hispanic American-owned small disadvantaged business based in Taos, New Mexico, that delivers water handling services for wildland firefighting and forestry operations to the USDA Forest Service as a prime contractor across all 99 awards in the source data. The company operates exclusively under small-business set-asides and total-small-business vehicles, with 96 of its recent awards falling under NAICS 541712 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression.

Home Style Water Tendin's capability footprint is narrowly focused: tanker-truck water delivery, equipment maintenance, and certified personnel provision for fire prevention and suppression operations across the Southwestern and Rocky Mountain United States. Representative work includes a $38,946 delivery order from USDA Forest Service Region 3 (Southwestern Region) on June 26, 2026, for water tending in Santa Fe, New Mexico; a $66,029 firm-fixed-price delivery order from Region 3 issued June 14, 2023, for water tending services; and a $79,200 delivery order from the National Interagency Fire Center on July 30, 2021, for water tender services. The company also supplies Type 2 water tenders and holds two $250,000 Indefinite Delivery Contracts—one covering Regions 3 and 8, awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center on May 6, 2025, and another covering Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10, awarded on June 6, 2022, both set aside for small businesses.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R3-Southwestern Region accounts for 70 of 99 awards and $2.7 million of the $4.4 million combined potential value across all awards. The National Interagency Fire Center anchors the secondary revenue stream with 14 awards valued at $1.4 million combined potential value. Five smaller awards to Department of Agriculture Forest Service regional offices (R2-Rocky Mountain and R8-Southern) and the Forest Service corporate entity make up the remainder. The two customer rankings track identically—the Southwestern Region dominates both volume and dollars.

Home Style Water Tendin' places task orders under five parent vehicles. The Blanket Purchase Agreement AG8371B167020 carries 24 task orders and $449 thousand in combined potential value; Indefinite Delivery Contract 12837119T7035 carries 20 task orders and $1.2 million; Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB22T7893 carries 17 task orders and $595 thousand; Blanket Purchase Agreement AG8371B107036 carries 13 task orders and $433 thousand; and Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB25T7244 carries 9 task orders and $259 thousand. Each vehicle is structured as a small-business set-aside.

Activity has been uneven. Ten awards in 2022 declined to four in 2024, recovered modestly to five in 2025, and reached six by mid-2026. The combined potential value across all awards stands at $4.4 million, with $2.8 million obligated (64% of potential). Home Style Water Tendin operates exclusively as a prime contractor—100% of awards are prime contracts and IDVs, with zero subcontract work. The vendor holds no position on government-wide vehicles, GWACs, or multi-agency IDIQs; all work flows through Forest Service regional BPAs and IDCs and the National Interagency Fire Center vehicles. Place of performance centers on Taos, Santa Fe, Las Vegas, and Alamogordo, New Mexico, with subordinate work across the Southwestern, Rocky Mountain, and Southern forest regions.
