Waterway Trucking LLC

Waterway Trucking LLC, a small-business sole proprietorship based in Meridian, Idaho, provides water tender trucks, water handling equipment, supplies, and certified personnel for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response to the U.S. Forest Service and the National Interagency Fire Center under Total Small Business set-asides. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract work and competes entirely within the small-business set-aside category across its federal footprint.

All fourteen awards in the source data are directed to Forest Service and Department of Agriculture entities, with customer concentration heavily weighted toward the National Interagency Fire Center (four awards, $1 million combined potential value), the Forest Service Research Service Rocky Mountain Research Station (four awards, $400 thousand), and the Forest Service Intermountain Region (four awards, $273 thousand). Regional Forest Service offices in the Rocky Mountain Region and Washington Office account for the remaining two awards. The vendor's entire award portfolio falls under NAICS 541512 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression.

Waterway Trucking holds three IDV positions issued by the National Interagency Fire Center under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system. The primary vehicle, awarded February 6, 2026, carries a $500 thousand ceiling under a Total Small Business set-aside with performance across Forest Service East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 through May 30, 2030. Two predecessor IDVs valued at $250 thousand each (awarded May 30, 2025, and June 2, 2022, respectively) cover the same geography and set-aside status. Task orders under these vehicles include a $63.8 thousand delivery order from the Intermountain Region (August 15, 2025) and an $11 thousand order (July 4, 2026). Recent firm-fixed-price delivery orders include a $41.8 thousand order from USDA Region 4 (August 22, 2026) and a $24 thousand order from Forest Service Region 2 (July 8, 2026), both issued under VIPR and set aside for small business.

Activity has accelerated in the most recent period—one award in 2021 and 2022 each, one in 2024, two in 2025, and four in 2026 through August. Combined potential value across all fourteen awards stands at $1.7 million, with $327 thousand obligated to date (19% realization). The vendor's capability portfolio is narrowly focused on water handling resources and personnel deployment for incident support across western Forest Service regions, with no diversification into non-fire or non-Forest Service work.
