WT Co

WT Co, a small business Subchapter S Corporation headquartered in Twisp, Washington, provides water handling equipment and specialized fire suppression vehicles to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides. WT Co operates across all Federal awards as a prime (100% of recent awards), with no subcontract footprint.

WT Co's customer base is highly concentrated within the Forest Service. All thirteen awards in the recent portfolio derive from two USDA entities: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (9 awards, $1.2 million combined potential value) and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R6-Pacific Northwest Region (4 awards, $378 thousand combined potential value). This concentration reflects WT Co's specialization in a narrow but well-defined federal mission — the two rankings are identical, indicating no divergence between volume and dollar concentration.

WT Co holds four multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center, all set aside for total small business participation and all managed through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system. The largest vehicle is IDC 1204H119T7374 with a $250,000 ceiling and a May 30, 2030 completion date, supporting task orders placed for water handling services across Forest Service Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10 (5 task orders, $123 thousand combined potential value). A second vehicle, IDC 1204H125T7500, carries a $500,000 ceiling, also through May 30, 2030, and has generated 2 task orders worth $117 thousand. Two smaller IDCs complete the portfolio, each carrying $250,000 ceilings. Task orders under these vehicles supply water handling equipment including Engines Types 3–6, Support Water Tenders Types 1–3, and Tactical Water Tenders Types 1–2, along with materials, supplies, transportation, trained personnel, and supervision.

Recent awards include a $50,325 delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 issued July 15, 2026, for water handling services supporting incident response in Baker City, Oregon; a $67,100 delivery order from Region 6 issued September 26, 2025, for specialized water handling equipment delivered to Wenatchee, Washington; and a $41,600 delivery order from the National Interagency Fire Center issued August 22, 2026, supporting wildland fire suppression operations with performance in Boise, Idaho. All awards are firm fixed price and set aside for total small business.

Activity volume is modest and irregular — four awards in 2021 followed by single awards in 2022 and 2024, then growth to two awards in 2025 and three in 2026. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $1.5 million with $293 thousand obligated to date (19% of potential value), reflecting WT Co's role as a specialized, incident-responsive supplier rather than a high-volume contract holder. The vendor's entire category footprint is rooted in NAICS 332999 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC 4315 (Natural Resources/Conservation — Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression), with no diversification into adjacent mission areas or agencies.
