About the company
Desert Tortoise Preserve Committee Inc. is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization that acts as a federal grant recipient, performing desert habitat management, weed abatement, and educational outreach work related to Mojave desert tortoise conservation on public lands in California. The organization operates primarily as a prime grant recipient (71% of recent awards) and as a subrecipient under the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, with all work concentrated in the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management California Region.
The organization's capability portfolio centers on on-the-ground conservation and habitat stewardship. Representative prime work includes two cooperative agreements with the BLM California Region awarded October 1, 2022, with ultimate completion September 30, 2025: one focused on Desert Tortoise Research Natural Area weed abatement, the other on management and educational outreach at the same preserve. As a subrecipient under NFWF, Desert Tortoise Preserve Committee Inc. is executing two sub-awards (both awarded February 25, 2026) for installation and upgrade of desert tortoise road exclusion fencing in the Fremont-Kramer area and along Harper Lake Road in Hinkley, California — five miles of new fencing per U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service standards to reduce Mojave desert tortoise road mortality and habitat disturbance.
Customer concentration is narrow and heavily concentrated in Department of the Interior bureaus. The BLM California Region accounts for three awards, with two additional awards directed to the BLM at the national bureau level, representing 100% of the organization's recent federal footprint. Secondary exposure exists with the United States Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center and the Office of the Secretary of Defense, each accounting for one award. The organization has received seven federal awards over a twenty-year observation window, with total dollars obligated at $584 thousand. Activity has been sparse but recent — one award in 2006, one in 2014, one in 2017, two in 2022, and two in 2026.
