JNJ Contracting LLC

JNJ Contracting LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in La Grande, Oregon, and operating under the trade names Hydrostorm and Y2 Fire Suppression, is a small business specializing in wildland fire suppression services and equipment. Registered in the System for Award Management since February 2004, the company has established itself as a key service provider to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, delivering critical fire suppression resources and support across multiple regions. The company provides a comprehensive range of firefighting capabilities, including water handling equipment, fire engines, training support, and personnel resources essential to wildland fire response and all-hazard incident management on federal lands.

JNJ Contracting LLC has received substantial federal contract awards spanning from 2021 through 2025, demonstrating consistent engagement with the Forest Service across multiple regions. The company has delivered Type 6 wildland fire engines to the National Interagency Fire Center through firm fixed price delivery orders ranging from $10,500 to $75,600, with multiple awards issued between August 2021 and August 2023. Beyond equipment provision, the company has supplied comprehensive wildland fire suppression services across the Forest Service's Pacific Northwest (Region 6), Intermountain (Region 4), Pacific Southwest (Region 5), and Southwestern (Region 3) regions, with individual delivery orders valued between $10,400 and $64,000. Services have included water handling support, firefighting equipment rental, hydroseeding for reforestation efforts, and personnel deployment to support suppression operations in locations including Baker City and Pendleton, Oregon; Salmon and Jerome, Idaho; and other western fire management zones. All identified contract awards have been issued on a firm fixed price basis without set-aside designations, allowing JNJ Contracting to compete directly against other contractors for task order opportunities. The company has demonstrated versatility in supporting various aspects of forest fire management beyond immediate suppression activities, contributing to the Forest Service's broader land management and reforestation objectives.

JNJ Contracting LLC holds three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the U.S. Forest Service, each valued at $250,000 and designated as total small business set-asides. The most recent IDC, awarded on May 29, 2025, covers water handling equipment and services for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response in Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region), with a period of performance through May 2030. This contract, procured through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, authorizes provision of Type 3, 4, 5, and 6 fire engines as well as Type 1, 2, and 3 support water tenders and Type 1 and 2 tactical water tenders. An earlier IDC awarded on June 6, 2022, with a completion date of June 6, 2025, provided similar water handling services and equipment across Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10, covering the broader West Zone of the Forest Service. A third IDC, awarded on June 1, 2022, with performance through May 30, 2025, served the East Zone covering Regions 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9, also focused on water handling services and equipment for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard response. All three IDCs were competitively awarded as multiple-award vehicles through the VIPR system, allowing the Forest Service to issue task orders as needed during fire season and emergency response operations. These contract vehicles enable the National Interagency Fire Center and regional Forest Service offices to access Hydrostorm's specialized equipment and personnel on an as-needed basis to augment federal firefighting capabilities across the western United States.
