Southwest Water Trucks LLC

Southwest Water Trucks LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in Silver City, New Mexico, supplies water trucks, equipment, and personnel for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response to the U.S. Forest Service across multiple western regions as a prime contractor operating exclusively under total small business set-asides on its Indefinite Delivery Contracts and competing in full-and-open delivery orders.

The vendor's federal footprint is entirely concentrated within the Department of Agriculture Forest Service ecosystem. Three customers account for 100% of recent awards: the National Interagency Fire Center (3 awards, $1 million combined potential value), the Forest Service Region 3 Southwestern Region (6 awards, $145 thousand), Region 5 Pacific Southwest Region (1 award, $60 thousand), Region 4 Intermountain Region (1 award, $58 thousand), and the Forest Service broadly (1 award, $20 thousand). The dollar concentration diverges sharply from award count — the National Interagency Fire Center holds 25% of awards but 77% of combined potential value, anchored by two large Indefinite Delivery Contracts.

Southwest Water Trucks LLC holds three active IDCs for water handling services. The most recent, a $500,000 multiple-award IDC awarded February 6, 2026, covers Regions 3 and 8 through May 6, 2030, under total small business set-aside and firm fixed price. A second $250,000 multiple-award IDC running through May 6, 2030, was awarded May 6, 2025, also for Regions 3 and 8. A third $250,000 IDC, awarded June 13, 2022, covered Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10 through May 8, 2025, and is now expired. The two active IDCs together generate the bulk of the vendor's pipeline — six task orders valued at $194 thousand under the February 2026 IDC and three task orders valued at $90 thousand under the May 2025 IDC. Delivery order awards against these vehicles include a $29,900 order issued July 3, 2026 (Silver City, New Mexico), a $36,800 order from May 17, 2026 (Alamogordo, New Mexico), a $60,279 order from September 9, 2025 (Clovis, California), and others ranging from $12,000 to $58,190.

All twelve awards in the source data are primes; Southwest Water Trucks LLC does not appear as a subcontractor. Activity has accelerated from two awards in 2022 to five in 2025 and three year-to-date in 2026. Combined potential value across all awards is $1.3 million; combined obligated dollars total $284 thousand, or 22% of potential value, reflecting the vendor's role as an on-call provider for incident response with invoiced work trailing authorized ceilings. The vendor's entire capability footprint, reflected in NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC code (Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression), addresses fire suppression and prescribed burn support across Forest Service western regions, with performance spanning Arizona, California, and New Mexico.
