Diaz, Jesus I

Diaz, Jesus I is a self-certified small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship based in Eureka, California, that provides vehicle-with-driver services for fire suppression and all-hazard incident response to the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center as a prime contractor on small-business-set-aside indefinite delivery contracts. All three of Diaz's recent prime awards fall under the Total Small Business set-aside category.

Diaz operates exclusively in the fire suppression and emergency response transportation space, delivering equipped vehicles with trained and certified personnel to support wildfire suppression and incident management across the West Zone (USFS Regions 5 and 6). The vendor holds two active indefinite delivery contracts, both with $250 thousand ceilings and performance periods extending through May 10, 2029. The first, awarded May 10, 2024, by the National Interagency Fire Center under the VIPR I-BPA framework for vehicle-with-driver services in Regions 5 and 6, generated an initial task order valued at $11,551.70 with ultimate completion on July 10, 2024. The second, awarded February 6, 2026, under the same VIPR I-BPA program with identical scope and ceiling, represents a parallel vehicle. A single delivery order awarded June 28, 2024, by USDA Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) to support operations in Clovis, California, rounds out the recent footprint.

Customer concentration is absolute: 100% of awards and potential value flow from the Department of Agriculture Forest Service, split between the National Interagency Fire Center (two awards, $500 thousand combined potential value) and Region 5 (one award, $12 thousand combined potential value). Combined potential value across all awards totals $512 thousand, with only $12 thousand obligated to date (2% utilization). Activity is nascent — two awards in 2024 and one in 2026 — with no subcontract footprint. Diaz operates under PSC code for natural resources conservation and forest-range fire suppression and sits in the "All Other Transit and Ground Passenger Transportation" NAICS category.
