Martin Sanchez

Martin Sanchez, operating as Two Dogs Water Tender Service, is a minority-owned, Hispanic American-owned sole proprietorship registered in SAM.gov since 2004, specializing in water handling services for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response. Based in Sonora, California, the company provides critical emergency response support primarily to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service. As a for-profit small business, Two Dogs Water Tender Service has established itself as a reliable provider of mobile water handling equipment and support personnel across multiple western United States regions.

Through its federal contract awards, Martin Sanchez has consistently delivered water tender services to support fire management operations, primarily in the Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5). The company's contract awards, ranging from $5,444 to $49,142, involve providing Type 3 and 6 Engines, Support Water Tenders (Types 1, 2, and 3), and associated personnel for local, regional, and nationwide fire suppression efforts. These contracts are typically firm fixed-price delivery orders not set aside for specific business types, though the company qualifies as a small business. The U.S. Forest Service has been the primary funding agency, utilizing the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system to solicit and award these critical emergency response contracts.

Martin Sanchez holds two significant Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) contracts, both with $250,000 ceiling values and set aside for small businesses. The first IDV, awarded on June 7, 2022, covers water handling services for the West Zone regions (Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10), with a performance period through June 6, 2025. The second IDV, awarded on June 4, 2025, focuses on the Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5) and extends through June 4, 2030. Both IDVs were solicited through the VIPR system and allow for potential usage by other federal agencies like the Department of the Interior and National Park Service. These contracts enable Two Dogs Water Tender Service to provide comprehensive water handling services, including equipment, materials, transportation, lodging, and trained personnel for wildland fire suppression and emergency response operations.
