King Inc.

King Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Canyon City, Oregon, supplies water handling equipment and personnel for wildland fire suppression and emergency response operations to the U.S. Forest Service and the Department of the Interior as a prime contractor operating under total small business set-asides. The company is structured as a Subchapter S Corporation and competes exclusively under small business set-asides across its federal footprint.

King Inc.'s customer base is heavily concentrated in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service, which accounts for 75 of 96 total prime awards and $3.9 million of the $4.6 million combined potential value. The Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) leads by award count with 60 orders totaling $1.8 million potential value, while the National Interagency Fire Center anchors the dollar ranking with 13 IDV awards carrying $2.1 million potential value. The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington holds 20 awards worth $208 thousand. A single GSA Federal Acquisition Service award ($500 thousand) represents the only non-Forest Service customer of material scale.

King Inc. holds five active indefinite delivery contracts with the Forest Service and the National Interagency Fire Center, each carrying ceilings between $250,000 and $500,000 and running through 2029–2030. The top vehicle by task-order volume is an Indefinite Delivery Contract (1202SB22T7934) supporting 15 task orders worth $217 thousand combined, followed by a Blanket Purchase Agreement (AG04H1B167272) with 13 task orders totaling $180 thousand. Delivery orders under these vehicles range from micro-purchases below $3,700 to orders exceeding $47,000, with recent awards in July 2026 spanning $5,206 to $19,000 for water handling services in John Day and Baker City, Oregon. Representative delivery orders include a $17,150 order from Forest Service Region 6 on July 25, 2026, for water handling services and equipment supporting wildfire suppression, an $11,025 order on July 21, 2026, against one of King Inc.'s four standing $250,000-ceiling IDVs, and a $19,000 order from Forest Service Region 6 on July 13, 2026, with performance in Baker City.

The company's equipment and service portfolio centers on type 2 and 4 water tenders, potable water trucks, gray water trucks, trailer-mounted hand washing stations, and engines (types 3–6), with King Inc. responsible for providing personnel, materials, and transportation to meet specification. Work is performed at multiple locations across western U.S. forestlands, including Oregon, Washington, New Mexico, and subordinate Forest Service regions (Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10). Award activity has been uneven, with nine orders in 2022, a sharp drop to one order in 2023, recovery to fifteen orders in 2024, and lighter volume in 2025–2026 (four and seven orders, respectively). The NAICS category concentration reflects this specialization: 76 of 96 awards fall under Support Activities for Forestry (NAICS 113210), with a secondary cluster of ten awards in Specialized Freight Trucking. By PSC code, Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression dominates with 75 awards. King Inc. operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract awards in the source data.
