Frank Schlitz Tractor Service is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business located in Springville, California, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since 2004. The company specializes in providing water tenders and water handling services primarily for wildland fire suppression efforts across federal land management agencies. As a for-profit organization, Frank Schlitz Tractor Service has established itself as a critical supplier of specialized equipment and support for emergency response operations, particularly for federal agencies dealing with wildfire management and incident response.

The company has received multiple federal contract awards focused exclusively on water tender delivery and water handling services. These contracts have been predominantly issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the National Interagency Fire Center, with delivery orders ranging from $28,384 to $42,412.50. The contracts have consistently been awarded on a non-set-aside basis, involving the delivery of Type 2 water tenders to support wildland fire suppression efforts. Specifically, the company has supplied water tenders to locations such as Albuquerque, New Mexico, and has demonstrated expertise in providing critical equipment for fire management and emergency response scenarios across federal lands.

Frank Schlitz Tractor Service holds two significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) through the Forest Service's Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) program. These multiple-award IDCs, each with a $250,000 ceiling value, cover different geographic regions including Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10, and are designated as total small business set-asides. The contracts, awarded in June 2022 and June 2025, provide a framework for ongoing water handling equipment and support services. These IDVs enable the company to continue supplying Type 1, 2, and 3 water tenders and associated services to support wildfire suppression, severity operations, and emergency incident response for the U.S. Forest Service and cooperating agencies.
