Owyhee Equipment L.l.c

Owyhee Equipment L.L.C., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Bruneau, Idaho, provides tender water support services and water handling equipment to federal land management agencies as a prime contractor operating under total small business set-asides.

Owyhee Equipment is a sole proprietorship structured as a for-profit organization with a footprint of three recent prime awards totaling $530 thousand in combined potential value. The vendor competes exclusively under small business set-asides and has not held federal contract vehicles or IDV positions prior to 2025. All work to date sits with land management and fire suppression support: a $29.8 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from the U.S. Forest Service Idaho Region (awarded June 1, 2025) for Type 2 tender water support services at the Cottonwood Peak location in Boise, Idaho, with completion by October 31, 2025; and two multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts from the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) for water handling services across U.S. Forest Service East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9, each valued at $250 thousand and running through May 30, 2030. The NIFC contracts, awarded May 30, 2025 and February 6, 2026, establish the vendor as a resource for equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and trained personnel supporting fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and prescribed project work. Performance includes capability to deploy personnel for extended operations at up to 16-hour daily shifts under the Virtual Incident Procurement system.

The Department of Agriculture's Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center account for 94% of awards and 100% of combined potential value ($500 thousand across two NIFC contracts), with the Department of Interior's Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region contributing the remaining $29.8 thousand. Work is classified under Support Activities for Forestry (NAICS) and Natural Resources Conservation, Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (PSC). The vendor's obligation track is light at present — only $30 thousand of $530 thousand potential value obligated to date — reflecting the early stage of NIFC contract execution and the seasonal nature of water handling support procurement.
