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 tanker-truck water delivery and certified personnel provision for wildland firefighting and forestry operations as a prime contractor exclusively under small-business set-asides and total-small-business vehicles. The company operates across the Southwestern and Rocky Mountain United States, primarily under NAICS 541712 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression.

Home Style Water Tendin' competes entirely as a prime contractor (100% of awards); it has no subcontract footprint. The company's capability portfolio centers on water tending logistics for federal wildland fire suppression and prevention: tanker-truck water delivery, equipment maintenance, and dispatch of certified personnel for fire suppression and prescribed burn operations. Representative work includes three $38,520–$38,580 firm fixed-price delivery orders issued by the USDA Forest Service Region 3 (Southwestern Region) on August 20, 2026, for water tending services in Santa Fe, New Mexico under Total Small Business set-asides, a $75,311.72 delivery order from the Forest Service Region 2 (Rocky Mountain Region) on July 12, 2026, for water tending in Durango, Colorado, and a $136,022.66 delivery order from Region 3 on April 24, 2022, for water tending support in Santa Fe.

Customer concentration is extreme: the USDA Forest Service R3-Southwestern Region accounts for 74 of 107 awards and $2.9 million of the $5.3 million combined potential value (55% of dollars). The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 15 awards and $1.9 million (36% of dollars). These two entities represent 83 of 107 total awards and $4.8 million (91% of potential value). The Forest Service R2-Rocky Mountain Region adds eight awards and $276 thousand, rounding out the top-three customer set at 96% of awards and 99% of combined potential value. The vendor serves no other significant federal customers.

Home Style Water Tendin' holds four active Indefinite Delivery Contracts, all issued by the National Interagency Fire Center: a $250,000 VIPR I-BPA for Regions 3 and 8 awarded February 6, 2026 (completion May 6, 2030), a $500,000 VIPR I-BPA for Regions 3 and 8 awarded February 6, 2026 (completion May 6, 2030), a $250,000 VIPR I-BPA for Regions 3 and 8 awarded May 6, 2025 (completion May 6, 2030), and a $250,000 VIPR I-BPA for Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10 awarded June 6, 2022 (completion May 7, 2025). Task orders flow from these IDCs to Forest Service regional offices. The vendor places work under five parent vehicles: Blanket Purchase Agreement AG8371B167020 (24 task orders, $449 thousand), Indefinite Delivery Contract 12837119T7035 (20 task orders, $1.2 million), Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB22T7893 (17 task orders, $595 thousand), Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB25T7244 (13 task orders, $492 thousand), and Blanket Purchase Agreement AG8371B107036 (13 task orders, $433 thousand).

Activity accelerated recently: ten awards in 2022, nine in 2023, four in 2024, five in 2025, and fourteen in 2026. Combined potential value across all 107 awards stands at $5.3 million, with $3.2 million obligated (60% realization rate). The vendor's award history extends back to May 2000, indicating sustained federal contracting engagement; the source's 107-award count encompasses the full visible portfolio. Place of performance concentrates in Taos, Santa Fe, Las Vegas, and Alamogordo, New Mexico, with subordinate work across the Southwestern, Rocky Mountain, and Southern forest regions, reflecting the geographic deployment model required for emergency wildfire response.
