Walking Y4, LIMITED Liability Company

Walking Y4, LIMITED Liability Company, a self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Ronan, Montana, provides mobile emergency response equipment and hygiene infrastructure for wildland fire and all-hazard incident response operations exclusively to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor under Total Small Business set-aside and full-and-open delivery orders.

Walking Y4 specializes in call-when-needed deployment of mobile shower facilities, potable and gray water trucks, handwashing stations, and related water-handling infrastructure to support firefighter and emergency personnel operations across Forest Service regions in the western United States. The vendor operates 100 percent as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint, delivering all work directly under its contract vehicles. Recent representative awards include a $153,844.50 delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) for mobile shower and water infrastructure in Wenatchee, Washington (September 2025); a $93,132.30 order for wildfire readiness and response in Vale, Oregon (July 2026); an $82,522 Blanket Purchase Agreement call for mobile shower services in McCall, Idaho (August 2024); and a $66,300 delivery order from Forest Service Region 1 (Northern Region) for mobile shower facilities, potable water trucks, and handwashing stations (August 2023).

Walking Y4's customer base concentrates almost entirely on the Forest Service. The top five customer entities account for 97 percent of the vendor's 35 total awards, with the National Interagency Fire Center anchoring 15 awards valued at $3.1 million in combined potential value, followed by Forest Service Region 1 (Northern Region) with 8 awards and $456 thousand, the general Forest Service category with 5 awards and $245 thousand, Forest Service Region 4 (Intermountain Region) with 4 awards and $207 thousand, and Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) with 2 awards and $192 thousand. The vendor has delivered across six customer agencies, but the Forest Service organization and its regional components represent 100 percent of combined potential value.

Walking Y4 holds nine active Indefinite Delivery Contracts and Blanket Purchase Agreements under the National Interagency Fire Center, awarded February and May 2026 as well as earlier vintages from 2022 and 2024. The primary vehicle is IDC 1202SC22T2810 (Call When Needed Shower Units), from which nine task orders totaling $433 thousand have been issued since the June 2022 award. Additional IDCs procure potable and gray water trucks, handwashing stations, heavy equipment, and general water-handling services for East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9, with ceilings of $250 thousand to $500 thousand and completion dates extending through May 2030. All vehicles are Total Small Business set-asides except the original 2022 shower-units BPA, which carried no set-aside designation.

Activity has grown to nine awards in 2026 after running at three to six awards annually from 2022 through 2025. Combined potential value across all 35 awards stands at $4.2 million, with $963 thousand (23 percent) obligated to date. The vendor faces no documented recompete cliff within the next twenty-four months among the listed awards, though renewal or re-solicitation of the NIFC indefinite-delivery vehicles may create opportunity if exercised by the Forest Service. Walking Y4's awards are concentrated in PSC Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (35 of 35 awards) and NAICS Support Activities for Forestry (34 of 35 awards), indicating a focused, specialized footprint with limited product-line diversification across federal customers.
