TNT Excavating, LLC

TNT Excavating, LLC, a small business based in Ovando, Montana, supplies heavy equipment supporting firefighting and emergency response operations to the National Interagency Fire Center as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides. The company is structured as a partnership or limited liability partnership and operates across a single customer agency.

TNT Excavating's federal footprint is concentrated in fire suppression and all-hazard incident response. The vendor holds four active indefinite delivery contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center, all awarded February 6, 2026, and running through June 2028. Three contracts carry ceilings of $250,000 and $500,000 respectively under firm fixed-price structures covering heavy equipment (dozers, excavators, tractor plows) for the East Zone encompassing Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9. A fourth contract is a VIPR Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement for the same scope and regions, also firm fixed-price with a $250,000 ceiling. Equipment provision includes personnel and support necessary to meet operational requirements, with rates proposed on a basis of up to 16-hour daily shifts. All four recent contracts originated from a pre-solicitation posted February 15, 2023, with a submission deadline of March 31, 2023, and are classified under NAICS 561730 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC codes for forest-range fire suppression and presuppression operations.

The vendor's activity is sparse and episodic. Seven total federal awards appear in the source across two decades—one award in 2004, one in 2007, one in 2008, one in 2023, and three in 2026. The four most recent indefinite delivery contracts carry combined potential value of $1.5 million against the single customer, the National Interagency Fire Center. Only $180 has been obligated across all awards to date. TNT Excavating has no subcontract activity and serves no customer agencies beyond the Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management function.
