Michael A Musia, operating as Contract Water Wagons, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship based in Joseph, Oregon, that provides water handling equipment, fire engines, and personnel support for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the Department of the Interior as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides and full-and-open competitions.

Contract Water Wagons competes predominantly under total small business set-asides on Indefinite Delivery Contracts and Blanket Purchase Agreements issued through the National Interagency Fire Center's Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system. The vendor holds three active IDCs with combined potential value of $1 million: a $500,000 multiple-award IDC awarded February 6, 2026, running through May 29, 2030, for water handling across Region 6 (Pacific Northwest); a $250,000 expiring May 29, 2025, for the West Zone (Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10); and a predecessor $250,000 contract that completed June 6, 2025. Equipment supplied includes Type 3, 4, 5, and 6 engines; Type 1, 2, and 3 support water tenders; Type 1 and 2 tactical water tenders; and associated materials, transportation, and personnel management for 16-hour daily shift operations. Recent delivery orders include a $154,800 order (July 22, 2026) and a $54,000 order (August 23, 2026) from Forest Service Region 6 for water handling and fire suppression support, both with completion dates in September 2026.

Customer concentration is highly specialized and geographically focused. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R6-Pacific Northwest Region accounts for 41 awards and $1.8 million in combined potential value (46% of the vendor's total portfolio), complemented by six awards totaling $1.1 million from the Forest Service's Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington and Forest Service R5-Pacific Southwest Region account for the remainder. Across 59 total awards, the vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint. Award activity has averaged approximately one order per quarter over the past five years, with recent growth to six awards in 2026. The vendor's 57 awards fall under NAICS 541720 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression. Place of performance centers on Pendleton and Baker City, Oregon, and other Pacific Northwest and Southwest wildland fire zones.
