Steve Riveland

Steve Riveland operates Never Thirst Water Service & A-Plus Hydro Seeding, a sole proprietorship based in Columbus, Montana, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since 2006. The company specializes in providing critical water infrastructure and fire suppression support services primarily to federal agencies, with a focus on emergency incident management and wildfire response operations. As a for-profit organization and small business, Riveland has established itself as a specialized service provider for water-related emergency support, particularly for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service.

Riveland's federal contract awards have consistently centered on delivering potable and gray water trucks, trailer-mounted handwashing stations, and fire suppression support services. These contracts, predominantly with the USDA Forest Service's Northern Region (Region 1), have ranged in value from approximately $12,000 to $34,000 per delivery order. The contracts are typically firm fixed-price delivery orders that support wildfire response and emergency incident management across multiple Forest Service regions, including Regions 1, 2, and 4. While most recent contracts were not specifically set aside, Riveland has previously been awarded contracts under total small business set-aside classifications, demonstrating the company's ability to meet federal procurement requirements for small businesses.

Riveland holds two significant Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center, each with a $250,000 ceiling value, effective through May 2029. These IDV contracts are specifically designed to provide potable and gray water trucks and trailer-mounted handwashing stations for emergency response operations. The contracts cover the Eastern Small Business (ESB) Zones for Regions 1, 2, and 4, and were awarded under total small business set-aside designations. Under these IDVs, Riveland has received multiple delivery orders to supply water services and fire suppression support, particularly in Montana locations such as Helena and Kalispell. The long-term nature of these contracts, with completion dates extending to 2029, indicates the federal government's ongoing need for Riveland's specialized emergency water infrastructure services.
