King Hydroseeding, Inc.

King Hydroseeding, Inc., a small business subchapter S corporation based in Lopez Island, Washington, operates as a prime contractor providing hydroseeding and water tender services for wildland firefighting, vegetation restoration, erosion control, and emergency response activities to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and related federal land management agencies. King Hydroseeding competes exclusively in the full-and-open market, with total small business set-asides designating its two active Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) but not its individual delivery orders.

King Hydroseeding's federal footprint is entirely concentrated in fire suppression and forest restoration support. The firm specializes in hydroseeding equipment operation, water tender vehicle provision (Types 1, 2, and 3), and personnel deployment for wildfire suppression, prescribed burn support, reforestation, watershed protection, and emergency incident response across western U.S. Forest Service regions. Concrete work includes a $115,392.86 delivery order from Forest Service for water tender services supporting Pacific Northwest land management (June 2024), an $103,500 delivery order for hydroseeding and water tender support in Wenatchee, Washington (June 2024), and a $93,600 delivery order for vegetation restoration and emergency response services under the National Interagency Fire Center (September 2025).

Customer concentration sits entirely with the Department of Agriculture. Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) anchors 96% of awards by count and 98% of combined potential value, accounting for 68 delivery orders valued at $2.5 million. The National Interagency Fire Center (a civilian component under USDA Forest Service) holds 12 awards for $938 thousand, and the broader Forest Service organization carries 13 awards for $688 thousand. Minor exposure exists through the Army Corps of Engineers Seattle District (four awards, $53 thousand) and the Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington (two awards, $9 thousand).

King Hydroseeding holds three multiple-award IDCs issued by the National Interagency Fire Center. The most recent, awarded February 6, 2026, carries a $250 thousand ceiling through May 2030 and is designated total small business set-aside, supporting water handling equipment and fire suppression services across Region 6. A second IDC (May 29, 2025) carries an identical $250 thousand ceiling and supports water handling services across the West Zone (Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10) through June 2025. A third IDC (June 7, 2022, extended through June 6, 2025) also held $250 thousand and covered the same West Zone scope. These vehicles enable streamlined delivery ordering under the VIPR I-BPA (Vehicles, Information Technology, Professional Services, and Research) procurement mechanism. Task orders against these IDVs generate the bulk of the vendor's pipeline — a 27-order blanket purchase agreement (BPA AG04H1B167266) carries $720 thousand combined potential value, followed by three additional IDCs with 14 to 19 task orders each totaling between $235 thousand and $916 thousand.

Activity has fluctuated moderately over the past five years. Awards totaled nine in 2021, dropped to seven in 2022, surged to thirteen in 2024, climbed to sixteen in 2025, and stand at two thus far in 2026. The combined potential value across all 103 awards is $4.3 million, with $3.2 million obligated (74% draw-down), indicating strong execution velocity. The vendor's 103 awards span from 2004 SAM registration to May 2026, with delivery order ceilings historically ranging from $1,200 to $115,392.86. Category concentration reflects fire-suppression specialization: 95 awards carry NAICS 541710 (Support Activities for Forestry), and 94 awards fall under PSC Natural Resources/Conservation Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression.

King Hydroseeding operates exclusively as a prime contractor — all 103 awards are prime contracts or IDVs with no sub-award activity. The vendor has maintained a consistent contracting relationship with the Forest Service since 2004, positioning itself as a specialized resource for fire suppression equipment and vegetation management support across western regions. The firm's equipment portfolio and emergency-response capability drive its value proposition in the National Interagency Fire Center procurement model, where streamlined ordering of water tenders and hydroseeding capacity directly supports wildfire and incident management operations.
