King Hydroseeding, Inc.

King Hydroseeding, Inc., based in Lopez Island, Washington, operates exclusively as a prime contractor providing hydroseeding equipment operation and water tender vehicle services (Types 1, 2, and 3) for wildland firefighting, vegetation restoration, erosion control, and emergency incident response to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The company is a for-profit subchapter S corporation classified as a small business competing primarily under total small business set-asides on federal indefinite delivery contracts and blanket purchase agreements, though recent task orders increasingly reflect full-and-open competition.

King Hydroseeding's customer concentration is nearly absolute: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for 97 percent of recent awards across three organizational units. The Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) dominates with 80 awards valued at $2.9 million combined potential value, followed by the Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center with 12 awards ($1.2 million), and the broader Forest Service with 13 awards ($688 thousand). The Army Corps of Engineers Seattle District and the Interior Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington account for the remaining 3 percent. Award activity has grown over the past five years, from nine awards in 2021 to a peak of sixteen in 2025, with fourteen awarded through August 2026. The combined federal portfolio carries $4.9 million in potential value across 115 prime awards with $3.5 million obligated (72 percent realization).

King Hydroseeding's vehicle footprint centers on three active indefinite delivery contracts issued by the National Interagency Fire Center under total small business set-aside. A multiple-award IDIQ awarded February 6, 2026, carries a $500 thousand ceiling through May 2030 for water handling equipment and fire suppression services across Region 6, with 14 delivery orders to date. A VIPR I-BPA awarded May 29, 2025, provides $250 thousand in capacity for water handling services across the West Zone (Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10), generating 16 task orders. A third VIPR I-BPA awarded June 7, 2022, with a $250 thousand ceiling expiring June 2025, was heavily utilized with 19 task orders before reaching its final order date. Beyond these IDVs, King Hydroseeding draws task orders from a blanket purchase agreement (AG04H1B167266, 27 task orders, $720 thousand) and additional IDCs issued by Forest Service regional offices. Representative recent work includes a $81,600 delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 in July 2026 for hydroseeding and water tender services (Types 1, 2, 3) with ultimate completion September 15, 2026; a $93,600 delivery order in September 2025 for the same scope, completion October 16, 2025; and a $103,500 delivery order from the Forest Service in June 2024 for hydroseeding and water tender services in Wenatchee, Washington.

Work is performed primarily in Wenatchee and Baker City, Oregon, and spans the Pacific Northwest Region with subordinate performance across Forest Service Regions 3, 5, and 10 where equipment is deployed for fire suppression and vegetation restoration. The vendor maintains no subcontractor footprint and competes exclusively as a prime. NAICS coding reflects the portfolio: Support Activities for Forestry (541710) dominates at 107 of 115 awards, with primary PSC Natural Resources/Conservation Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression covering 106 awards. King Hydroseeding has held a consistent federal contracting relationship with the Forest Service since SAM.gov registration in 2004, establishing itself as a specialized supplier of water tender equipment and hydroseeding capability to a single dominant customer across two decades.
