TBC Timber Inc.

TBC Timber Inc., a small business prime contractor based in Libby, Montana, supplies heavy equipment, water handling services, and transportation support for wildfire suppression and all-hazard incident response to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service under total small business set-aside vehicles. The company operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) and competes entirely within small business set-asides, holding eleven indefinite delivery contracts across the Forest Service's Virtual Incident Procurement system.

TBC Timber's customer base concentrates heavily on Forest Service operations. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for 97% of awards through two dominant internal customers: the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (16 awards, $4.1 million combined potential value) and the Forest Service's Region 1 Northern Region (42 awards, $3.2 million combined potential value). The Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission represents a minor outlier with three small awards. The two customer rankings align closely on dollars, with NIFC anchoring the highest-value work and Region 1 supplying the largest volume of individual task orders. All work falls under NAICS 561730 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC category Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression.

TBC Timber holds eleven total small business set-aside IDVs and Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements with ceilings ranging from $250 thousand to $500 thousand, all awarded between June 2022 and February 2026 and running through 2028–2030. These vehicles cover heavy equipment with water services, water handling standalone, and miscellaneous heavy equipment (feller bunchers, mulchers, road graders, skidders) across Forest Service East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9, with optional interagency use by the Department of Interior and Bureau of Indian Affairs. Task orders are issued by regional dispatch centers on as-needed basis to support fire suppression, prescribed project work, and emergency response. Representative delivery orders include $16.8 thousand for firefighting support (July 2026, Region 1), $29.4 thousand for forestry and fire management support (August 2025, Region 1), and $30.4 thousand for heavy equipment (August 2023, Region 1). Top vehicles by current task-order count include Blanket Purchase Agreement AG0343B157142 (6 task orders, $675 thousand combined potential value) and AG0343B167229 (5 task orders, $301 thousand combined potential value).

Activity has grown in recent years—one award in 2024, three in 2025, and five so far in 2026—with combined potential value of $7.4 million across all sixty-four awards and $1.7 million obligated to date. TBC Timber operates with no documented subcontractor relationships and carries no sub-award work in the source data.
