Tidwell Tree Service, LLC

Tidwell Tree Service, LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Marietta, Georgia, provides hazardous tree removal and vegetation management services to the National Park Service as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The firm operates as a limited liability partnership competing exclusively in the small business category, with all seven federal awards in the source data directed to NPS Southeast Region locations.

Tidwell's federal footprint is entirely concentrated with a single customer: the Department of the Interior's National Park Service Southeast Region accounts for all seven awards and the full $1.2 million in combined potential value. The vendor's work is classified under NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services) and PSC code covering natural resources and conservation tree-thinning services. Activity has grown modestly — one award in 2023, three in 2024, one in 2025, and two in 2026 — with recent awards increasing in ceiling value. Two awards carrying combined potential value of $276 thousand reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure in that window.

Tidwell's capability set centers on removal of hazardous, dead, and dying trees ranging from 16 to 40 inches in diameter at breast height, including debris chipping, removal, and stump cutting, with work performed under firm fixed-price unit-priced or lump-sum purchase orders. The vendor holds ISA Arborist certification with three or more years of full-time arboriculture experience as a documented requirement. Representative work includes a $254.5 thousand purchase order awarded in September 2023 by NPS Southeast Region for removal of 237 hazardous trees across Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park over a ten- to twelve-month period; a $246.4 thousand order issued in February 2024 for additional hazardous tree removal at the same location; and two orders totaling $275.6 thousand awarded in May 2026 for hazardous tree and limb removal near the Palmer and Hooker Earthworks at Kennesaw Mountain, each with modifications to cover removal of additional hazardous and pine-beetle-infested trees discovered during execution. Work is restricted to Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with machinery and vehicles prohibited on or near historic Civil War earthworks to preserve site integrity. All orders are obligated at 85 percent of their combined potential value, indicating active contract execution.
