OpportunityThe TIFID Board discussed BioSqueeze Inc.’s need for significant electrical upgrades at their leased facility and a corresponding request to reduce rent from 10500 to 5000 per month ahead of the June 2026 lease end. The board deferred action until the May 2026 meeting, pending a full proposal detailing the power upgrade scope, costs, and how long the reduced rent would be needed, with BioSqueeze indicating they intend to cover the full capital cost of the electrical work. This interaction signals upcoming design and construction work for substantial power capacity improvements, likely involving utility coordination with Northwestern Energy and electrical contractors or engineers. Vendors can position services around scoping, designing, and delivering the upgrades, and advising the Port and county on structuring tenant improvements and potential eventual sale of the building to BioSqueeze as their funding and growth plans firm up.Port Of Montana - Port Authority · Apr 24, 2026$26,000,000OpportunityEngineers outlined a major West Trunk Sewer and collection system rehabilitation effort that will now be split into two projects, including trunk replacement, manhole lining, Holt Drive low-pressure sewer, lift station generators, and a new plant lift station. Funding may rely partly on congressional directed spending, with at least a 12‑month delay before work can proceed. This is early planning on a large, multi‑phase capital job where contractors, designers, and equipment suppliers can help shape scope, phasing, and backup plans if federal funds are delayed.Blankenship Rural Fire District · Apr 15, 2026$10,000,000OpportunityThe City of Missoula and Missoula MPO have completed the Higgins Corridor Study (final report August 2023), selecting a preferred concept to convert Higgins Avenue from Brooks Street to Broadway into a three-lane, multimodal corridor with raised bike lanes, improved crossings, signal upgrades, and streetscape enhancements. The plan calls for full roadway reconstruction south of Beartracks Bridge, protected bike infrastructure north and south of the river, accessibility upgrades to transit stops, new parking management on the Hip Strip, and comprehensive signal retiming and modernization for 22 downtown signals. The planning-level construction cost is estimated at about 8.41 million, excluding the already rebuilt Beartracks Bridge, and the City and MPO state they will now actively seek funding for final design and construction and aim to bundle this with other downtown projects like the Front/Main two-way restoration. Key next steps include detailed access management, environmental and drainage design, signal design to integrate with MDT’s forthcoming detector-based ATSPM system, transit stop design with Mountain Line, and extensive business coordination, with no procurement yet identified—leaving room for engineering, design, construction, ITS, and streetscape vendors to position themselves early.Missoula Metropolitan Planning Organization · Aug 1, 2023$8,410,000OpportunityThe commission discussed options for the deteriorated Rocky Mountain Building, which carries a $5 million lien held by Sletten Construction and is still owned by Alluvion. They are brainstorming whether the City or NeighborWorks would take over and how to approach stabilization after a fence is installed. This is very early planning and they are seeking ideas. Firms in structural assessment, historic rehab, financing, and development partnerships could help shape a viable reuse and stabilization plan.Great Falls Housing Authority · May 13, 2026$5,000,00030 more pre-RFPs matched to you in a free digestGet matches free →

Recent projects and awards in Montana

Contract awards and project updates from public meetings, largest and newest first.

The June 16, 2026 agenda includes approval of the “Hot Springs SSC 2026 Agreement,” a detailed service agreement with Southeast Service Corporation d/b/a SSC Service Solutions for janitorial and preventive maintenance services across all district facilities. The contract begins July 1, 2026, runs through June 30, 2032, automatically renews annually thereafter, and is priced at an annual contract amount of 1,634,155, invoiced in monthly installments, under a TIPS cooperative purchasing framework. SSC will provide custodial labor, cleaning supplies, paper products, and equipment maintenance at nine district locations, and will also make a one-time 200,000 district investment that the district can use at its discretion, amortized over six years with clawback if the agreement ends early. For vendors, this establishes SSC as the custodial and light-maintenance incumbent through at least 2032, defining the competitive landscape for cleaning supplies, facilities services, and related projects such as summer deep cleaning, floor care, and possible add-on maintenance scopes, as well as flagging a large multi-year contract whose renewal and change orders will be key future touchpoints.Contract Award · Hot Springs K-12 · Lake County · Jun 16, 2026$1,634,155Ravalli County approved WGM Pay Request #1 to Knife River for work on the Ricketts Road Reconstruction/Resurfacing project under contract 23-10-12. The original contract is $1,397,898 with about 8% of work and contract time completed, and substantial work scheduled through July 7, 2026. This is a mid-project payment signal, useful for firms offering materials, traffic control, inspections, change-order support, or follow-on roadway and drainage work as the corridor is rebuilt.Contract Admin · Ravalli County · Ravalli County · Apr 21, 2026$1,397,898Butte-Silver Bow Parks & Recreation is moving forward with major improvements to the Basin Creek Park Historic District, funded through the local BNRC program tied to Natural Resource Damage funds for lost recreation facilities. The approved scope includes lawn reconstruction, dead tree removal and new plantings, new irrigation, a fire hydrant, a new ADA-accessible pavilion, parking lot upgrades, restrooms, enhanced security and lighting, and interpretive signage, with total contracted services of 735000. A selection committee has already completed an RFP process and chosen Great West Engineering to deliver the project, meaning design and engineering work is under contract and construction will follow once logging operations in the area wrap up, with the park expected to be closed through the summer for heavy truck use. This is commercially relevant as a multi-hundred-thousand-dollar park and site upgrade that will require design, engineering, construction, lighting/security equipment, and interpretive sign fabrication and installation. While the prime engineering firm is selected, there may be opportunities for subcontractors supplying irrigation systems, security and lighting solutions, ADA-compliant structures, site furnishings, and interpretive exhibits, as well as for vendors positioning for future phases or similar BNRC-funded recreation projects.Contract Award · Port Of Montana - Port Authority · Silver Bow County · May 5, 2026$735,000The Superintendent reported that the state has validated the Bridged Health Trust, a $40 million health trust program authorized by the legislature and governor to serve more than 200 Montana school districts and over 16,000 educators and employees. The program met and exceeded minimum participation thresholds and will begin enrolling districts, including Butte School District, in April and May. While this is a statewide initiative rather than a district-specific RFP, it signals a major shift in employee health benefits funding and structure. Vendors in wellness programs, benefits administration technology, and complementary insurance products can see this as a trigger to align offerings with the new trust framework and support the district as it navigates enrollment, employee communication, and benefits optimization under the Bridged Health Trust.Public Updates · Butte Elementary School District · Silver Bow County · Mar 23, 2026$40,000,000The Land Board approved issuing a long-term commercial lease with Lariat LLC to develop the 25-acre Moraine Parcel in Kalispell into a 396-unit workforce-oriented apartment community. The lease runs 30 years with renewals up to 99 years, an annual base rent starting at $145,600 with 3% annual increases, and an option fee of $50,000 for the first year while entitlements proceed. This is a large multifamily project that will drive near-term demand for A&E, site work, utilities, vertical construction, IT/low-voltage, security, property management systems, and ongoing facility services.Contract Award · Montana Secretary of State|Board of Land Commissioners · Lewis and Clark County · Jan 20, 2026$2,800,000Madison County is awarding a bid for new beds and mattresses for Madison Valley Manor and Tobacco Root Mountain Care Center, with SonderCare submitting a detailed proposal dated June 19, 2026. The quote covers 56 premium adjustable beds, 48 foam mattresses, 4 bariatric alternating‑air mattresses, and white‑glove delivery/installation, totaling about $427,000 before optional labor warranty. This confirms a major clinical equipment refresh; vendors in related lift systems, nurse call, fall‑prevention tech, and training can target follow‑on needs and integration work.Contract Award · Alder Elementary School District · Madison County · Jun 23, 2026$427,35272 more Montana projects matched to you in a free digestGet matches free →
