Jared Lewis Trucking, Inc.

Jared Lewis Trucking, Inc., a veteran-owned small business based in Dallas, Oregon, operates as a prime contractor providing water tender delivery, material transportation, and logistics support to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the National Interagency Fire Center for fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and forestry operations across multiple regions. The company competes predominantly under total small business set-asides on its Indefinite Delivery Contracts and holds no subcontract work — all 27 recent awards are prime contracts.

Jared Lewis Trucking is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation with veteran-owned small business designation. The vendor's concrete capability footprint centers on water handling for wildfire and emergency response: water tender vehicle delivery and operation, bulk water transportation (the source credits the company with delivering over 450,000 gallons across Forest Service operations), and ancillary material transport to support fire suppression and prescribed burn operations across Forest Service Regions 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9 (Montana, Idaho, California, and subordinate jurisdictions). Representative awards include a $55,182 delivery order from USDA Forest Service Region 1 (Northern Region) issued August 13, 2026 for transportation services in Dillon, Montana; a $31,461 delivery order from Region 1 issued September 9, 2025 for water handling services in Kamiah, Idaho; and a $39,000 firm fixed-price delivery order from Region 1 issued August 26, 2024 supporting fire suppression and aviation management across multiple states.

Customer concentration is extreme and intentional. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 1–Northern Region accounts for 21 awards ($998 thousand combined potential value), and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 6 awards ($1.1 million potential value). Together these two Forest Service entities represent 100% of recent awards. The vendor holds multiple IDIQs under the small business vehicle: the largest is a $500,000 ceiling Indefinite Delivery Contract for water handling in East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9, awarded February 6, 2026 by the National Interagency Fire Center with ultimate completion May 30, 2030; a $250,000 ceiling contract titled "VIPR I-BPA FOR WATER HANDLING FOR THE EAST ZONE" awarded June 1, 2022 to the same agency (expired May 30, 2025); and a prior $250,000 contract awarded June 1, 2022 also by the National Interagency Fire Center. From these IDIQs and related BPAs, task orders cluster under five parent vehicles: IDC 1202SB22T7333 (6 task orders, $166 thousand), IDC 12034319T7079 (5 task orders, $129 thousand), and Blanket Purchase Agreement AG0343B167081 (4 task orders, $195 thousand).

Activity has remained flat and modest — two to three awards per year over the past five years — generating $2.1 million in combined potential value across all 27 recent awards, with $517 thousand obligated (25% execution). All work is categorized under Support Activities for Forestry (NAICS) and Natural Resources/Conservation — Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (PSC). Performance takes place at distributed Montana and Idaho locations (Hamilton, Dillon, Kamiah) coordinating with Forest Service dispatch centers. The vendor's small, steady footprint reflects a specialized, geographically concentrated capability tied to interagency wildfire and emergency response procurement, with no exposure to defense, civilian IT, or other federal verticals.
