Waterboys, LLC

Waterboys LLC is a veteran-owned small business that provides water handling services and equipment to support wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response operations.

Through past federal contracts and delivery orders, Waterboys has provided water tender trucks, staffing, transportation, lodging, materials, and related equipment to the USDA Forest Service and its interagency partners. Notable awards include a $33,300 firm fixed price delivery order to supply tender water trucks for fire suppression efforts in New Mexico; a $3,500 order to handle water and support hazards mitigation in Vallejo, California; and a $12,025 order for unspecified fire and aviation management products or services in California. These contracts utilized no small business set-asides. The agency taps businesses like Waterboys to obtain services aiding coordinated nationwide response to wildfires and other incidents on public lands.

Waterboys also holds two indefinite delivery contracts functioning as blanket purchase agreements for as-needed water handling across USFS Regions 3, 5, 6 and 10 in the Western U.S. The contracts have potential values up to $250,000 each and allow the agency to issue firm fixed price delivery orders establishing specific requirements. Task orders to date have activated Waterboys' services for firefighting support in locations such as Albuquerque and Vallejo. The IDVs enable the Forest Service to rapidly contract critical fire suppression and mitigation capabilities.
