DJ Case & Associates Inc.

DJ Case & Associates Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation based in Mishawaka, Indiana, delivers conservation engagement, facilitation, strategic communications, and natural resource management services to federal agencies as a prime contractor on GSA Schedule and BPA vehicles, competing full-and-open without set-aside designations across 273 recent federal awards worth $45.8 million in combined potential value.

The company operates almost entirely as a prime (97% of awards) and self-performs its delivery; across SCI-reportable federal service contracts, DJ Case logged zero subcontractor hours on prime contracts in FY2025. Its GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract, effective April 2024 through April 2029, establishes pricing for 15 labor categories spanning Project Administration Specialist through Project Manager, with hourly rates ranging from $55.69 to $118.03 and education requirements from associate to bachelor's degree; no security-cleared roles are offered. The labor portfolio reflects the company's core capability set: strategic communications, web development, graphic design, facilitation, meeting coordination, and public engagement support. SCI-reportable invoicing on prime contracts ran $1.5 million across FY2023–FY2025, peaking at $583 thousand in FY2023 and declining to $444 thousand in FY2025 (1.9 FTEs); the median government-paid hourly rate across these contracts stands at $102.45 per hour.

Customer concentration sits heavily with the Department of the Interior, which accounts for the top five customer agencies by award count and dominates dollars. The Fish and Wildlife Service Region 9 Headquarters anchors the footprint with 93 awards valued at $8.6 million combined potential value, reflecting the company's long-standing role supporting visitor services, digital content development (Drupal web platform), and science-outreach programming for refuge operations. The Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region holds the second position with 16 awards totaling $1.9 million, centered on Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) facilitation services — the company has delivered recurring JFSP task orders under a $750,000 single-award BPA (extended through September 2026) since 2021, with individual facilitation task orders ranging from approximately $5,946 to $152,030. Fish and Wildlife Service regions 3 and 5 round out the top five customer set. The top-three customer agencies (by potential value) cover 86% of the combined portfolio: the GSA Federal Acquisition Service (the $17.02 million supply schedule itself, 3 awards), Fish and Wildlife Service Region 9 Headquarters (93 awards, $8.6 million), and the National Park Service National Office (1 award, $5 million).

Parent vehicles track closely with this agency concentration. The Blanket Purchase Agreement INF982107A008 (103 task orders, $2.4 million combined potential value) and the Multiple Award Schedule vehicle (89 task orders, $16.5 million) together anchor 60% of ordering activity by task-order count. A $1.829 million delivery order for Fish and Wildlife Service Drupal infrastructure support (running through February 2028) and a $726,323.75 delivery order for digital wildland fire science content creation under a total small business set-aside (extending through September 2029, with $56,000 invoiced in FY2025) represent the largest individual task orders in recent performance. Additional delivery orders include visitor-services digital development for Fish and Wildlife Service ($197,340.60, through September 2027 under total small business set-aside) and refuge communications and results-reporting services ($83,606.60 through July 2025).

Award activity has remained moderate and relatively flat across the past five years (7 awards in 2022, declining to 5 in 2026 year-to-date), with only 5 awards (combined potential value $2.1 million) facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore recompete exposure. The company's award history spans back to at least 2001, indicating sustained federal contracting presence over two decades.

Federal grant activity routes through sub-recipient positions under Wildlife Management Institute, Incorporated (prime grantee) and the Midwest Association of Fish & Wildlife Agencies on Multistate Conservation Grant (MSCG) awards. Recent sub-award work includes research and outreach initiatives supporting recruitment and retention of hunters and recreational shooters, with objectives spanning literature synthesis, focus groups, online surveys, pilot campaign implementation, and practitioner-oriented guidance development for state fish and wildlife agencies. DJ Case subcontracts on these grants to deliver social science research, engagement strategy design, and knowledge-dissemination support for R3 (Recruitment, Retention, and Reactivation) programs in hunting and fishing participation. A secondary grant sub-award with the Indiana Department of Environmental Management covered state Nonpoint Source Management Plan revision (February 2024 through January 2025).
