Larry Lyons

Larry Lyons is a sole proprietorship based in Kooskia, Idaho, registered in SAM.gov since 2004, that specializes in providing water handling equipment and services primarily to the U.S. Forest Service. The business focuses on supplying Type 2 water tenders and related water handling resources for wildland fire suppression and emergency response operations across multiple Forest Service regions. As a small business, Larry Lyons has established itself as a reliable vendor in the forestry and emergency response equipment sector, with a particular emphasis on supporting fire management and incident response capabilities.

Through federal contract awards, Larry Lyons has consistently delivered water tenders and related services to various U.S. Forest Service agencies, including the National Interagency Fire Center and multiple regional forest service offices. The contract awards have ranged from $4,035 to $30,935, covering delivery orders for water handling equipment used in wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response. Most of these contracts have been awarded to Forest Service regions in the northern United States, specifically Regions 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9. While the contracts have not typically been set aside, Larry Lyons has successfully competed for and won delivery orders that support critical emergency response infrastructure, demonstrating the company's capability to provide essential equipment for forest management and firefighting operations.

Larry Lyons holds two key Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the U.S. Forest Service, each with a $250,000 ceiling value. These contracts are total small business set-asides utilizing the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, enabling the company to provide water handling equipment and services across the East Zone regions. The IDCs, awarded in 2022 and 2025, allow for the issuance of Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs) that cover water tenders, associated personnel, and emergency response resources. These contracts not only support the U.S. Forest Service but also potentially allow for use by other interagency cooperators like the Department of the Interior and National Park Service. The IDCs demonstrate Larry Lyons' strategic positioning in providing critical water handling resources for wildland fire suppression and emergency incident response across multiple geographic regions.
