JNJ Contracting LLC

JNJ Contracting LLC, doing business as Hydrostorm, is a small business based in La Grande, Oregon, that provides wildland fire suppression equipment, water handling services, and incident response support to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the Department of the Interior as a prime contractor operating exclusively under total small business set-asides and full-and-open designations. Hydrostorm operates as a for-profit limited liability company and competes across multiple Forest Service regions in the western United States, with work concentrated in the Pacific Northwest.

Hydrostorm's capability portfolio centers on wildland fire management resources and equipment. The vendor supplies Type 3, 4, 5, and 6 fire engines; Type 1, 2, and 3 support water tenders; and Type 1 and 2 tactical water tenders for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response. Recent representative work includes a $112,254 delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 (July 2026) for wildland fire suppression services and equipment with performance in Pendleton, Oregon; an $81,600 delivery order from the same region (August 2026) for water handling equipment and services with completion in Baker City, Oregon; and two $66,139 and $69,877 purchase orders from Forest Service's Idaho Region (June 2025) for Type 6 wildland fire engines. Hydrostorm also provides hydroseeding services supporting reforestation efforts, as evidenced by a $15,600 delivery order for hydroseeding in Pendleton, Oregon (August 2022).

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Forest Service. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R6–Pacific Northwest Region accounts for 23 awards totaling $955 thousand in potential value (62% of award count and 40% of total potential value). The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 6 awards valued at $1.1 million (16% of awards, 46% of total potential value), reflecting Hydrostorm's status as a regional supplier anchored to interagency fire-response infrastructure. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region has placed 2 awards worth $136 thousand. These three customer entities account for 94% of combined potential value across the 37-award footprint.

Hydrostorm holds three active indefinite-delivery contracts. The most recent, awarded February 6, 2026, by the National Interagency Fire Center, carries a $500,000 ceiling and runs through May 29, 2030, for water handling equipment and services supporting Region 6 fire suppression and all-hazard response. A $250,000 IDC awarded May 29, 2025, also through the National Interagency Fire Center, covers the same scope and period. An earlier $250,000 IDC awarded June 6, 2022, and expiring June 2025, covered multiple Forest Service regions (3, 5, 6, and 10) for water handling services. All three are total small business set-asides competitively awarded through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system. Task orders flowing from these vehicles account for the largest share of recent activity; five task orders valued at $110 thousand flow from Indefinite Delivery Contract 1204H119T7237, and four task orders worth $130 thousand flow from Blanket Purchase Agreement AG04H1B167405.

Activity remained sparse but stable through 2021 (two awards per year in 2020 and 2021), spiked to seven awards in 2022 following the June 2022 IDC award, then settled to four awards per year in 2025 and 2026. Combined potential value across all 37 awards is $2.4 million, with $871 thousand obligated (37% of ceiling). Hydrostorm operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards are prime); no subcontract awards appear in the footprint. NAICS classification runs entirely to 541900–Support Activities for Forestry, and PSC coding maps primarily to fire suppression and presuppression (35 of 37 awards), with two fire-equipment awards.
