Ricky A Logue

Ricky A Logue, doing business as Alan's Water Truck, a sole proprietor based in Anderson, California, supplies water truck services and related emergency-response equipment to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides, holding SBA certifications as a HUBZone firm, Veteran-Owned Small Business, and Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (the latter two expiring February 21, 2027). The business competes exclusively as a prime—no subcontract footprint—across a portfolio of 44 awards (100% prime) with combined potential value of $5.1 million, of which $1.1 million has been obligated.

Alan's Water Truck specializes in firm fixed-price water truck operations, potable and gray water handling, handwashing stations, and support equipment for wildland fire suppression, prescribed fire projects, and all-hazard incident response across Forest Service regions in the western United States. Representative work includes a $83,500 delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) awarded August 2, 2026, for water truck services with completion by September 8, 2026; a $64,000 delivery order from Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) in September 2023 for water truck services in Eureka, California; and a $94,000 delivery order from Region 5 in August 2022, also for fire suppression support in Eureka. Most delivery orders are issued as non-set-aside competitive awards despite the vendor's set-aside eligibility, though the underlying indefinite delivery vehicles themselves carry total small business set-aside designations.

Customer concentration is extreme and narrow: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for 100% of awards across six internal cost centers. The National Interagency Fire Center (the Forest Service's fire-management coordinating unit) anchors the portfolio by potential value, with 11 awards worth $3.3 million combined; Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) leads by award count with 18 awards worth $644 thousand combined. The split signals that while Logue competes frequently against Region 5, the larger dollar base sits with NIFC's centrally managed indefinite delivery vehicle portfolio.

Ricky A Logue holds nine active indefinite delivery contracts, all under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) program managed by the National Interagency Fire Center. These IDVs include a $750,000 ceiling for water handling equipment (Region 5, running through June 4, 2030); a $500,000 ceiling for potable and gray water truck and handwashing station services (Region 5, through May 28, 2029); four separate $250,000-ceiling contracts covering vehicle-with-driver services and miscellaneous heavy equipment for Regions 5 and 6 (with completion dates ranging from May 2025 through August 2031); and a sixth $250,000-ceiling contract expiring June 2025. These vehicles enable competitive task-order issuance across Forest Service and potentially other federal agencies including the National Park Service and Bureau of Indian Affairs, with pricing structured around up to 16-hour daily shifts at firm fixed rates.

Activity has grown steadily—two awards in 2022 to seven in 2025—with five awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date. The recompete cliff is moderate: one IDV (ceiling $250,000) expires August 29, 2025, representing near-term renewal exposure. Work is performed across the western United States, with primary operational footprint in California (Regions 5 and 6) and secondary dispatch from the Pacific Northwest Region.
