TBC Timber Inc.

TBC Timber Inc. is a for-profit timber and forestry services company headquartered in Libby, Montana, that specializes in providing heavy equipment, transportation, and water handling services to support federal wildfire suppression and all-hazard incident response operations. Registered with the federal government since March 2004, the company maintains seven active indefinite delivery contracts with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service and operates as a qualified small business vendor within the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system. TBC Timber Inc. has demonstrated consistent capability in rapidly mobilizing specialized equipment and personnel to support emergency response efforts across multiple Forest Service regions.

TBC Timber Inc.'s federal contract work has primarily involved the delivery of specialized heavy equipment and water handling services to support wildfire management and incident response. The company has received delivery orders and purchase orders from the Forest Service's Region 1 (Northern Region) and the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) valued between $11,400 and $88,300 per award. Specific equipment provided includes Type 2 dozers, front-end loaders, water tenders (both Type 2), and related transportation services. All awards have been issued on a firm fixed-price basis without set-aside designations, indicating that TBC Timber Inc. competed on an open basis despite its small business status. The company serves as a prime contractor only, with no documented subcontractor relationships, and all task orders and purchase orders have been issued by either the USDA Forest Service or NIFC as civilian agencies. Contract awards span from 2021 through 2025, with completion dates typically scheduled within weeks of award to support rapid incident response needs.

TBC Timber Inc. currently holds seven active indefinite delivery contracts (IDVs), all structured as Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs) under the VIPR system, each with ceiling values of $250,000 and designated as total small business set-asides. The most recent IDVs awarded in May 2025 include a contract for water handling equipment across East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9, and a heavy equipment with water contract serving the same regions with dozers, excavators, skidgines, softtracks, and pumper cats. A May 2024 award provides miscellaneous heavy equipment including feller bunchers, mulchers, road graders, and skidders for Regions 1, 2, and 4. Earlier IDVs awarded in June 2023 and June 2022 cover heavy equipment and water handling services across Regions 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9, while a July 2021 award supports heavy equipment for Region 1 specifically. All IDVs are firm fixed-price contracts with periods of performance extending from their award dates through 2028 or 2030, and all are funded by the National Interagency Fire Center. Task orders under these IDVs are issued by regional dispatch centers on an as-needed basis to support fire suppression, prescribed project work, and all-hazard emergency response across the Northern, Southwestern, and Eastern Forest Service regions, allowing for flexible resource allocation and accelerated response during peak fire seasons.
