Kens Water Tender Inc.

Kens Water Tender Inc. is a corporate entity that provides heavy equipment rental and vehicle transportation services to support wildland firefighting and emergency response operations for the U.S. Forest Service and other federal agencies.

Through past federal contract awards, Kens Water Tender Inc. has provided dozers, excavators, water tenders, and other specialized vehicles to assist with fire suppression activities across Forest Service Region 5 in California. The company has received delivery orders from the Forest Service to mobilize equipment rentals on an as-needed basis, supporting incident response at various dispatch centers during annual fire seasons. Additionally, Kens Water Tender Inc. holds multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts to supply on-demand vehicle transportation, drivers, and related services for the movement of personnel and gear to incident sites on behalf of the Forest Service and cooperating agencies. These IDVs facilitate the coordination of critical resources across Region 5 through competitive awards reserved for small businesses.

Specifically, Kens Water Tender Inc. currently administers two streamlined IDVs from the Forest Service for heavy equipment rentals and vehicle with driver services intended to meet surge capacity needs during emergency incidents in the Pacific Southwest region. The heavy equipment IDV has a potential value of $250,000 over two years, while the vehicle IDV allows for $250,000 in transportation-related task orders through mid-2023. Both multiple-award vehicles were designed to acquire vital firefighting assets from vetted small business partners like Kens Water Tender Inc. under expedited contracting mechanisms across a network of dispatch centers in California.
