About the company
Thompson-Gordon-Shook Engineers Inc., operating as TGS Engineers, provides bridge design, infrastructure assessment, and trail engineering services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a small business prime contractor, competing entirely under total small business set-asides. The Shelby, North Carolina–based firm is a for-profit engineering company with a concentrated footprint in architectural and engineering design for federal land management and disaster recovery work.
TGS Engineers' customer base is dominated almost entirely by the Forest Service. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R8-Southern Region accounts for 30 of 38 prime awards and $2.1 million of the combined $2.7 million potential value—97% of the award count and 78% of dollars. The remaining three Forest Service components (Research Service Southern Research Station, the national agency office, Job Corps, and Washington Office Acquisitions) represent four additional awards worth $595 thousand. This concentration reflects TGS Engineers' established role as a prequalified architect-engineer firm on the Forest Service Southern Region's architect-engineer qualification database, which maintains approximately 100 firms and issues 20 to 36 awards annually valued at $1.7 million to $4 million across a 17-state footprint.
Representative work includes a $225 thousand firm fixed-price definitive contract awarded October 10, 2025, for Sipsey Creek Bridge replacement design in Royal, Arkansas under disaster relief funds; a $175 thousand contract from October 10, 2025, for Thompson Creek Bridge design in Double Springs, Alabama as part of disaster-related reconstruction; and a $116 thousand definitive contract awarded August 27, 2024, for trail bridge designs at Pisgah National Forest covering Avery Creek, Mount Sterling, and Barnett Branch trails. TGS Engineers also maintains a $247 thousand definitive contract modification to the Davidson River Road Bridges project in Pisgah Forest, North Carolina, running through May 21, 2027. More recent work includes a $42,390 purchase order awarded April 13, 2026, to conduct geotechnical surveys at three bridge locations supporting bridge design efforts, with completion scheduled for July 15, 2026.
Activity has remained modest and flat—two awards in 2021, three in 2023, and one in 2026—with only one award ($247 thousand) facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards) and does not appear in the subcontractor footprint. NAICS concentration sits in engineering services (32 awards) with secondary exposure in architectural services (4 awards), while PSC coding reflects architect-and-engineering classifications centered on inspection, construction design, and technical support across highways, roads, bridges, and railways.
