Diversified Protection Corp

Diversified Protection Corp Corporate Division, a minority-owned, Black American-owned for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina, is the prime contractor on 238 federal awards totaling $5.05 billion in combined potential value, delivering armed and unarmed protective security officer services, construction site surveillance, and facility security across civilian agencies. The vendor operates predominantly under full-and-open competition rather than set-asides, though some construction surveillance technician work carries 8(a) competitive and sole-source designations; the core business footprint is driven by prime contracts across Department of Homeland Security and Department of State vehicles.

Diversified Protection's customer concentration is extreme and driven by two marquee indefinite delivery vehicles. The Department of Homeland Security Office of Procurement Operations accounts for 83 awards (72% of all awards examined) valued at $4.46 billion combined potential value — more than 88% of the vendor's total federal pipeline. Within that, two DHS IDVs anchor the business: a $3.208 billion multiple-award Armed Protective Security Officer Services contract (Track 1 open to all, Track 2 for small business) awarded January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2028, and a $67.8 million single-award contract for armed PSO services throughout New Mexico, running through March 31, 2027. Recent task orders under the larger vehicle include a $94.8 million Armed Guard II delivery order at the Department of Labor headquarters in Washington, DC, effective August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2031; a $28.1 million delivery order for armed PSO services in Utah and Wyoming through June 30, 2026; and a $10.6 million order for New Mexico statewide services through September 30, 2026. The Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security ranks second by award count (42 awards, $33.2 million) but contributes less than 1% of dollars, reflecting numerous small construction surveillance technician BPA calls ($1,000–$80,000 range) centered on Daniel Island, Charleston facilities. NASA Headquarters (23 awards, $33.4 million) and the Department of Labor (2 awards, $89.4 million) round out the top-five customer set. The top-five agencies represent 92% of combined potential value.

Diversified Protection operates as a 100% prime contractor — zero subcontract awards appear in the source portfolio. Across SCI-reportable service contracts (a partial view covering federal services above $150,000), the vendor invoiced $186.6 million from FY2022 through FY2024, delivering 651 FTEs in FY2022, 506 in FY2023, and 468 in FY2024, representing an 28% decline in reported workforce scale over three years. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-covered contracts ran a median of $54.29/hr, with 10th percentile at $45.94/hr and 90th percentile at $68.15/hr — consistent with security guard and protective services pricing in the federal market. SCI data shows zero subcontractor hours across all reportable prime contracts, indicating the vendor self-performs all labor on those vehicles.

Activity has decelerated sharply. The vendor averaged 40 awards per year in 2022, declined to 24 in 2023, 19 in 2024, 6 in 2025, and 1 award year-to-date in 2026 (the recent August 1, 2026 Labor Department delivery order). Over the next twenty-four months, only 2 awards reach ultimate completion with combined potential value of $36.7 million — minimal recompete exposure relative to the $5.05 billion portfolio, though the collapse in annual award volume suggests concentration risk on DHS IDV recompetes rather than near-term task-order churn. The vendor's corporate structure includes two named subsidiaries: DPC International LLC (minority-owned, Black American-owned) and Fiore Industries Inc. (minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business, Black American-owned); neither subsidiary shows distinct federal award lineage in the source data, indicating they function as holding entities within the broader Diversified Protection operating structure.

Diversified Protection's value proposition to federal customers centers on nationwide armed security delivery at scale — the DHS multiple-award contract positioning and cumulative task-order portfolio demonstrate established operational infrastructure across multiple states and regions. However, the customer concentration on a single agency vehicle (DHS at 88% of potential value) and the sharp year-over-year decline in task order issuance present material strategic risk; loss or significant shrinkage of the DHS IDV would materially impact business volume and FTE utilization.

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.
