Raynold L Tobiasson

Raynold L Tobiasson, operating as Tobiasson Water Trucking, is a HUBZone-certified small business sole proprietorship based in Yreka, California that specializes in providing water trucking and water handling services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service and other federal agencies. Registered with the federal government since March 25, 2004, the company has established itself as a critical service provider for wildfire suppression, prevention, and land management activities across multiple Forest Service regions nationwide. Tobiasson Water Trucking delivers essential water transportation and handling equipment to support the federal government's emergency response and operational capabilities in fire management.

The company has consistently received federal contract delivery orders from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service, with awards spanning from 2021 through 2025. Tobiasson Water Trucking has provided water trucking services, Type 2 water tenders, Type 3 and 6 fire engines, and various water handling support services under firm fixed-price delivery order contracts. The delivery orders have ranged in value from approximately $3,200 to $100,050, with cumulative contract values exceeding $400,000 across the award history provided. Performance locations have included Yreka and Eureka, California, as well as remote areas throughout Forest Service jurisdictions. The contracts have been primarily funded through the Forest Service's Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region), Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region), and the National Interagency Fire Center, all civilian agencies within the U.S. Department of Agriculture. While individual delivery orders have not utilized specific set-aside designations, all awards flowed from underlying indefinite delivery contracts that were competitively awarded as total small business set-asides, allowing Tobiasson Water Trucking to leverage its HUBZone certification through these vehicles.

Tobiasson Water Trucking currently holds two active Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the federal government. The first IDC, awarded on June 4, 2025, is a $250,000 ceiling value contract effective through June 4, 2030, established through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system by the National Interagency Fire Center to support Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region). This contract enables the issuance of rapid delivery orders for Type 3 and 6 fire engines, Type 1, 2, and 3 support water tenders, and related water handling equipment and services for wildfire suppression and emergency response. The second IDC, awarded on June 7, 2022, is also a $250,000 ceiling value contract that expired on June 6, 2025, and was established for the West Zone covering Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10 of the Forest Service as well as the National Interagency Fire Center jurisdictions. Both contracts were competitively awarded as total small business set-asides under the VIPR I-BPA (Blanket Purchase Agreement) vehicle and authorize the provision of water trucking, transportation services, trained and certified personnel, and all necessary equipment and materials to meet federal specifications. The IDC structure enables federal agencies, including the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs, to rapidly issue delivery orders for critical water handling resources during wildfire suppression and land management operations nationwide.
