Tl's Portable Sinks & Water Trucks

Tl's Portable Sinks & Water Trucks, a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Lake Isabella, California, supplies portable water and hygiene infrastructure—portable sinks, water trucks, trailer-mounted handwashing stations, and potable and gray water trucks—to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the Department of the Interior as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides and full-and-open competitions. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of awards) and competes predominantly under total small business set-aside vehicles, with recent awards split between set-aside and non-set-aside delivery orders.

Tl's customer footprint is concentrated in fire suppression and all-hazard incident response. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for 38 of 47 awards and the majority of combined potential value, split across the National Interagency Fire Center ($1.1 million combined potential value across 10 awards), Fire and Aviation Management Federal Fire and Aviation Management ($504 thousand across 12 awards), Region 5 Pacific Southwest Region ($221 thousand across 16 awards), and Forest Service line offices ($105 thousand across 5 awards). The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management California Region placed 3 awards valued at $73 thousand. This concentration—98% of awards fund USDA Forest Service programs—reflects the vendor's specialization in mobile water and hygiene support for wildland firefighting crews and regional incident response teams.

Tl's holds or participates in five primary vehicles. The National Interagency Fire Center awarded a $500 thousand multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract on February 6, 2026, running through May 28, 2029, reserved for total small business set-asides with place of performance in Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region). An earlier USDA Forest Service $250 thousand multiple-award total small business set-aside IDV (awarded May 28, 2024, through the Virtual Incident Procurement system) covers potable and gray water trucks and handwashing stations for Regions 3, 5, and 6. Delivery orders under these IDVs and against blanket purchase agreements AG9J61B157142 (13 task orders, $140 thousand), 129J6118T7094 (9 task orders, $168 thousand), and 129J6124T7071 (5 task orders, $121 thousand) comprise the bulk of recent work. Recent representative awards include a $33.75 thousand firm fixed-price delivery order under the Forest Service IDV (July 27, 2024), an $18.75 thousand total small business set-aside delivery order with Region 5 Pacific Southwest Region (August 30, 2026), and a $40.2 thousand delivery order under the Forest Service IDV (July 14, 2024).

Award activity is sporadic. The vendor recorded 8 awards in 2020, then 3 in 2021, 1 in 2022, 6 in 2024, and 2 in 2026 to date, with combined potential value across all 47 awards standing at $2.1 million and combined obligated dollars at $544 thousand (26% of potential). Primary NAICS classification is Support Activities for Forestry (42 awards), with secondary classifications in specialized freight trucking and miscellaneous store retail. No sub-award activity appears in the source.
