T & C Clearing & Railroad Repair, Inc.

T & C Clearing & Railroad Repair, Inc., a woman-owned small business headquartered in New Bern, North Carolina, operates as a prime contractor providing railroad infrastructure maintenance, repair, and inspection services exclusively to the United States Marine Corps under a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract. The company competes entirely under set-aside vehicles, with its primary IDC designated as a total small business set-aside.

T & C Clearing & Railroad Repair delivers concrete railroad infrastructure work: track maintenance, cross-tie and switch-tile replacement, signal system upgrades, crossing repairs, emergency repairs, and routine inspections at Marine Corps installations. The company's capability footprint is narrow and specialized — 118 of 211 awards fall under NAICS 541512 (Support Activities for Rail Transportation), with the remainder split among electronic equipment repair and heavy civil construction work. Representative recent work includes a $415,080 delivery order for fourth-option-year funding at Camp Lejeune issued June 22, 2026; a $384,376 order for option-year 3 funding at Camp Lejeune issued June 1, 2025; and a $290,000 delivery order for cross-tie replacement work at Camp Lejeune issued June 14, 2023. All delivery orders are priced firm-fixed-price, and the company performs as prime with no identified subcontractors.

Customer concentration is extreme and static. The Marine Corps accounts for 189 of 211 awards and $52.7 million of the $52.9 million combined potential value across the entire prime footprint (100% coverage). The Department of the Navy, the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, and the Office of Personnel Management account for the remaining three awards and carry negligible dollar value. T & C Clearing & Railroad Repair operates exclusively at two Marine Corps locations: Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, both in North Carolina.

The company holds a single parent vehicle, the $30.2 million Indefinite Delivery Contract N4008512D0003 awarded June 1, 2022, and extending through May 31, 2027. This vehicle generated 47 task orders and carries $2.2 million in combined potential value across the task-order slice in the source data. The Marine Corps issued over 30 delivery orders under this IDC between June 2022 and June 2026, with individual ceilings ranging from $1,280 to $415,080. Historical performance data embedded in award summaries confirm T & C Clearing & Railroad Repair has accumulated over $3.5 million in cumulative contract value since 2019.

Activity has declined from six awards in 2022 to three in 2026 year-to-date, suggesting a contraction in ordering frequency despite the single-award contract vehicle's stability through May 31, 2027. The recompete cliff is minimal — only three awards with ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $550 thousand, posing limited recompete exposure. The vendor's footprint carries no vehicle concentration risk; all 211 awards flow through the single Marine Corps IDC, making the company entirely dependent on Marine Corps railroad infrastructure demand and contract renewal at the May 2027 expiration.
