Jackson Bryan

Jackson Bryan is the owner of 5J Water Service, a self-certified small disadvantaged business located in Caliente, Nevada, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since January 30, 2019. Operating as a sole proprietorship, the company specializes in providing water handling services and equipment primarily to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service, with a primary focus on supporting wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response efforts. Jackson Bryan's business is strategically positioned to deliver critical water-related resources across multiple Forest Service regions in the western United States.

The federal contract awards for 5J Water Service predominantly involve the provision of water tender vehicles (Type 1 and Type 2), water handling services, and potable water delivery. These contracts have been consistently awarded by the USDA Forest Service across various regional branches, including the Pacific Southwest, Intermountain, Northern, and Southwestern Regions. The contracts are typically firm fixed price delivery orders with values ranging from $2,410 to $103,320, supporting emergency response and fire management operations. None of the contract awards have been set aside, and Jackson Bryan has performed as a prime contractor, demonstrating capabilities in rapidly deploying water handling resources to support incident response across locations in California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming.

Jackson Bryan holds two significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the USDA Forest Service, each with a potential value of $250,000. These IDCs are set aside for total small businesses and were awarded through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, covering Forest Service Regions 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9. The contracts, active from June 2022 and May 2025 respectively, enable the provision of water handling equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and trained personnel to meet emergency response needs. These IDCs allow for optional use by other federal agencies such as the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs, and provide flexibility for up to 16-hour daily shifts in supporting critical incident response and fire management operations.
