Diversified Protection Corp

Diversified Protection Corp Corporate Division is a minority-owned, Black American-owned security services provider based in Charleston, South Carolina, operating as a Subchapter S corporation that delivers armed and unarmed protective security officer (PSO) services, facility guard operations, and construction site surveillance to federal agencies as a prime contractor on a 100% prime footprint. The firm competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations across most work, though selective 8(a) sole-source and competitive 8(a) awards appear in its portfolio.

The company's federal footprint centers on armed and unarmed protective security services across domestic and overseas facilities. Recent representative work includes a $94.8 million delivery order from the Department of Labor for armed guard services at DOL headquarters in Washington, DC through July 2031 under the Armed Protective Security Officer Services IDIQ; a $26.1 million delivery order from the Department of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management for 24/7 armed guard services at a federal facility in Washington, DC through July 2026 under GSA's Multiple Award Schedule; and a $23.9 million delivery order from the Department of Homeland Security for armed PSO services throughout Utah and Wyoming through August 2026 under the Armed Protective Security Officer Services IDIQ. On the construction surveillance side, Diversified Protection has accumulated over 100 task orders valued at $6.2 million against the Department of State's BPA 19AQMM19A0034 for construction site technician support at multiple State facilities.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward Department of Homeland Security Office of Procurement Operations, which accounts for 83 awards and $4.45 billion combined potential value (88% of the vendor's total federal potential value). The Department of Labor, the Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection, and NASA round out the top customer set by dollar value. The vendor serves 37 distinct federal agencies across the award portfolio, but DHS dominates both by award count (72% of active awards when combined with DHS CPO) and by dollars.

Diversified Protection holds a position on the $3.208 billion multiple-award Armed Protective Security Officer Services IDIQ awarded by DHS's Office of Procurement Operations (January 2024 through December 2028) with two tracks—one open to all contractors and one set aside for small businesses. The vendor has executed numerous delivery orders under this vehicle, including the Utah/Wyoming contract noted above. The firm also maintains a $66.2 million single-award IDV with DHS for armed PSO services in New Mexico through March 2027 and holds seats on GSA's Multiple Award Schedule and several Department of State BPA vehicles for construction surveillance work. It operates on the National Archives and Records Administration's MAS for security guard services, evidenced by contracts at the Nixon Presidential Library and the Hoover Presidential Library.

Activity shows material decline over the past four years, from 40 awards in 2022 to 6 awards in 2025 and 1 award to date in 2026. The recompete cliff presents minimal near-term exposure: only one award carrying $8.8 million in combined potential value reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. However, the sharp downward trajectory in annual award count and the 11% obligation ratio (obligated dollars as a share of potential value) suggest utilization of the vendor's large vehicle ceilings remains below capacity.

On federal service contracts captured in SCI, Diversified Protection invoiced $234.3 million across FY2022–FY2025, with invoiced amounts declining from $72.6 million in FY2022 to $47.7 million in FY2025. The FTE footprint tracked downward from 651 FTEs in FY2022 to 409 FTEs in FY2025. Government-paid hourly rates derived from SCI invoicing ran with a median around $54/hr, ranging from 10th-percentile lows near $43/hr to 90th-percentile highs around $68/hr. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the vendor self-performed 99% of contractor hours, with only 1% subcontracted to four named subs, signaling a delivery model centered on in-house staffing rather than subcontractor leverage.

The corporate structure includes two named subsidiaries: DPC International LLC (minority-owned, Black American-owned) and Fiore Industries Inc. (self-certified small disadvantaged business, Black American-owned). The vendor competes across the federal security services ecosystem without meaningful reliance on subcontractor partnerships, positioning itself as a vertically integrated provider of guard labor rather than a systems integrator or prime that layers capability through subs. Diversified Protection's largest customer concentration, the breadth of facility types served (federal offices, border facilities, presidential libraries, diplomatic posts), and its substantial vehicle ceilings reflect scale in execution; the declining annual award count and flat-to-declining SCI invoicing trajectory signal either market contraction, reduced utilization of existing vehicles, or reallocation of procurement volume to competitors.

Diversified Protection Corporation (DPC) is in the business of protective services supplying contract uniformed and plainclothes security officers, who may or may not be armed, to perform a wide variety of tasks. These security officers patrol and monitor client property such as, commercial, financial, industrial, residential and governmental facilities providing deterrence against crime and breach of governmental security regulations and detection of fire, accidents and other casualties. The security officers also monitor electronic systems and control public and employee access to facilities. The Company is also evolving in none uniform protective services in the areas of personnel security adjudication, high net worth risk mitigation, and risk management.
