Water N Wheels LLC

Water N Wheels LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Marysville, California, provides heavy equipment, water trucks with handwashing stations, and vehicles with trained drivers to support wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response operations as a prime contractor exclusively under Total Small Business set-asides. The LLC operates as a self-certified small disadvantaged business and competes entirely within federal small business reserve programs, with no subcontracting activity in its award footprint.

Water N Wheels holds ten multiple-award indefinite delivery contracts through the USDA Forest Service Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, all carrying Total Small Business set-asides and ranging from $250,000 to $500,000 in ceiling value. These IDIQs span equipment categories including vehicles with drivers (Regions 5 and 6, West Zone), water handling equipment (potable and gray water trucks with handwashing stations, Region 5 and West Zone), heavy equipment (miscellaneous forestry equipment including feller bunchers, mulchers, and road graders, Region 5 and West Zone), and miscellaneous support resources. IDC performance periods extend through 2030 and 2031. Against these vehicles, Water N Wheels has executed delivery orders totaling approximately $66 thousand in obligated dollars against a combined potential value of $3.3 million. Representative recent task orders include a $26,345 delivery order from the Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) on July 11, 2026, for equipment and services supporting wildland fire suppression in Region 5, and a $25,766 delivery order from July 27, 2024, for water handling equipment to support fire management and emergency response across Regions 5 and 6. Earlier work includes a $13,935 delivery order from August 29, 2024, for vehicles with drivers positioned in Oroville, California.

Water N Wheels concentrates entirely within the Department of Agriculture Forest Service and subordinate organizational units. The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 10 awards and the full $3.3 million in combined potential value; Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) and the broader Forest Service round out the remaining three awards. Awards per year have fluctuated between two and six, with six awards issued in 2026 to date. The vendor's operational footprint and place of performance center on Regions 5 and 6 (West Zone, covering Pacific Southwest and broader Western states), with equipment and personnel positioned to meet rapid dispatch timelines from regional centers. All awards carry firm fixed-price structures. Performance requirements include maintaining SAM registration and USDA eAuthentication credentials, with equipment and personnel meeting forestry equipment certifications and training standards specific to incident command and emergency response operations.
