Tatum Excavating Company, Inc., doing business as Tatum Excavating Co Inc., is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Texarkana, Texas, that has maintained federal contractor registration since September 2001. The company specializes in civil construction, excavation, and infrastructure maintenance services, delivering a diverse portfolio of projects that support the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' mission to maintain critical water resources infrastructure, recreational facilities, and military installations across the Texas region.

Tatum Excavating has demonstrated extensive experience delivering infrastructure services through federal contract delivery orders primarily funded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, with one notable award from TACOM Life Cycle Management Command.
