L & C Co, LLC

L & C Co, LLC, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business based in Bend, Oregon, supplies mobile water handling equipment and laundry services to the USDA Forest Service and Department of the Interior as a prime contractor under multiple indefinite-delivery contracts and blanket purchase agreements, competing predominantly full-and-open rather than under set-aside vehicles at the delivery-order level despite holding small-business-set-aside IDCs.

The company is structured as a limited liability partnership and self-certified as both a woman-owned small business and a small disadvantaged business. Its capability footprint centers on potable and gray water trucks, mobile laundry units, trailer-mounted handwashing stations, and related mobile support infrastructure for wildland firefighting, emergency incident response, and natural resource management operations. The work is concrete and equipment-focused rather than service-labor-intensive — orders typically run $2,000 to $116,000 per delivery order, firm fixed price, with performance across Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and New Mexico. Representative recent work includes a $47,150 delivery order from USDA Forest Service Region 6 in August 2026 for mobile water handling and laundry services in Baker City, Oregon; a $75,850 August 2026 order for the same services in Sandy, Oregon; and a $116,000 July 2024 delivery order in Marion County, Oregon for mobile equipment rental supporting wildland firefighting operations.

Customer concentration is extreme and stable. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) accounts for 68 of 92 awards (74% of award count) and $2.5 million of $4.9 million combined potential value (51% of dollars). The National Interagency Fire Center, also within USDA, holds nine awards worth $2 million combined potential value. Together, Forest Service entities represent 83 of 92 awards and $4.466 million of the $4.9 million portfolio. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management holds the remaining ten awards across Oregon-Washington and Idaho regions, totaling $148 thousand. No other federal customer appears in the source data.

L & C Co, LLC holds three primary indefinite-delivery contracts, each under a total small business set-aside and running through 2028 or 2029. One $500,000 IDC awarded February 6, 2026 by the National Interagency Fire Center covers potable and gray water trucks and trailer-mounted handwashing stations for Forest Service Region 6 only (West Zone). A second $500,000 IDC awarded the same date covers mobile laundry units nationally for Region 13 operations. A third $250,000 IDC awarded May 28, 2024 (renewed June 5, 2023) from Forest Service Region 6 covers similar water handling and laundry equipment with performance through May 28, 2029. Task orders issued against these IDCs do not carry set-aside designations. Five blanket purchase agreements and two additional IDCs round out the vehicle portfolio, collectively carrying 47 task orders and $1.2 million in combined potential value. The top vehicle, IDC 1204H124T7210, carries 14 task orders worth $515 thousand.

Award volume has declined modestly year over year — twelve awards in 2022 to seven in 2026 — but the portfolio remains active and stable within a narrow customer and product base. Combined obligated dollars stand at $2.4 million against $4.9 million in potential ceiling value (49% burn-through). The vendor does not subcontract and does not appear on prime contracts as a subcontractor; all 92 awards are direct L & C Co, LLC prime performance. Capability specialization is tight: the top NAICS codes are Support Activities for Forestry (68 awards) and Drycleaning and Laundry Services (16 awards), mirroring the equipment and service mix. Top PSC codes reflect the same focus — 81 awards under Natural Resources/Conservation Fire Suppression codes, with the remainder scattered across equipment rental categories. This is a narrow, specialized vendor with deep incumbent relationships in federal wildland firefighting support, competing on pricing and equipment availability rather than breadth of service offerings.
