About the company
Taber Drilling, a woman-owned and minority-owned small business based in West Sacramento, California, provides geotechnical drilling, subsurface investigation, and related testing services to federal transportation and water-resources agencies, operating as a prime contractor on 93% of recent awards. The firm is self-certified as a small disadvantaged business and a woman-owned small business; it competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides on its smaller purchase orders while holding a core vehicle — the $9.9 million multiple-award IDIQ with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District — that carries no set-aside on individual delivery orders but restricts the underlying contract to small businesses.
Taber Drilling's customer base splits sharply between volume and dollar concentration. The Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration dominates by order count with 17 awards valued at $1.9 million combined potential, placing most work through Blanket Purchase Agreements for pavement investigation and drilling services on state transportation projects in California. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Sacramento, however, anchors the dollar value: 10 awards worth $21.8 million combined potential value, including the core $9.9 million IDIQ running through April 2028 and several six-figure delivery orders for geotechnical exploration supporting civil works projects including the American River Common Features Natomas project, Natomas Basin West Drainage Canal, and Orange Vale Water Company municipal water supply well development. Representative work includes a $917.8 thousand delivery order from the Corps for aquifer testing and water quality testing in Orangevale, California; a $107.2 thousand Corps delivery order for soil and rock drilling on the American River Common Features Natomas project; and a $12.4 thousand FHWA purchase order for thirty-four shallow borings along County Road 34 near Gerlach, Nevada.
Taber Drilling's capability portfolio centers on truck-mounted drilling rigs, cone penetration testing, soil and rock sampling using standard penetrometers and Shelby tubes, sonic drilling, rock core drilling to 6-inch diameter, piezometer and observation-well installation, and associated geotechnical field work and documentation. The vendor competes under two primary vehicle types: Federal Highway Administration BPAs for state transportation projects and the Army Corps IDIQ for water-resources and civil-works investigations. Recent activity shows a modest award pace (two prime awards in 2025, two in 2026 as of June) with $23.7 million in combined potential value across all recent awards and $2.7 million obligated to date. Taber Drilling also subcontracts geotechnical exploration services to primes including Tetra Tech-Black & Veatch JV on the FY24 Stone Lock Closure Structure Project and Ch2M Hill on remediation work. The vendor faces minimal recompete pressure in the next twenty-four months, with only one award (valued at $12 thousand) reaching ultimate completion.
