William Allen Nash

William Allen Nash, doing business as William A Nash, is a sole proprietorship based in Drain, Oregon, that primarily provides goods and services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, specifically within the Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6). Registered in SAM.gov since 2004, Nash specializes in supporting wildland fire suppression and land management programs through the provision of water tender vehicles, water handling services, heavy equipment, and related support services. As a small business contractor, Nash has established itself as a reliable vendor for the Forest Service, consistently receiving delivery order contracts for various operational needs across Oregon and Washington.

Over the past several years, Nash has been awarded multiple federal contract delivery orders, predominantly from the Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region, with contract values ranging from $2,490 to $64,955. These contracts consistently involve providing water handling equipment, water tender vehicles, and support services for wildland fire suppression efforts. The majority of these delivery orders are not set aside for specific business categories and are issued under broader indefinite delivery contract vehicles. Nash's contracts have focused on supporting incident response requirements, providing certified personnel, materials, transportation, and equipment to facilitate the Forest Service's land management and emergency response capabilities. The contracts have been consistently awarded on a firm fixed-price basis, demonstrating Nash's ability to provide predictable and reliable services to the federal government.

William Allen Nash holds two key Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) under the Violence Intervention and Prevention Program (VIPR) I-BPA vehicle, both set aside for total small business participation. These multiple-award IDCs have a $250,000 ceiling value and are designed to support water handling equipment and services for wildland fire suppression across Forest Service Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10. The contracts, awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center, enable Nash to provide equipment, materials, transportation, and personnel for incident response and fire suppression operations. One IDC was awarded in June 2022 with a completion date of June 6, 2025, while the other was awarded in May 2025 with a completion date of May 30, 2030. These contracts provide a flexible procurement mechanism for the Forest Service to access water handling resources, including engines, support water tenders, and tactical water tenders, supporting the agency's sustainable public land management and emergency response objectives.
