Diversified Resources Inc.

Diversified Resources Inc., a women-owned small business and HUBZone-certified firm headquartered in Chester, California, delivers vegetation management, land restoration, and wildfire mitigation services to federal land management agencies as a prime contractor exclusively, holding an economically disadvantaged women-owned small business (EDWOSB) designation and competing predominantly under total small business set-asides across its federal portfolio.

Diversified Resources operates within a highly specialized capability set: vegetation management through mastication and mechanical fuels reduction, ladder fuel removal, hazard tree felling, site preparation for reforestation, wildland firefighting support, and heavy equipment (mulchers, masticators, excavators, dozers, feller bunchers, graders, skidders) deployment for emergency response and land management across California and Nevada. Representative prime work includes a $138 thousand delivery order from the Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5) for mastication of ladder fuels in Susanville, California under a total small business set-aside (June 2022–November 2023), a $149.6 thousand delivery order for 176 acres of plantation mastication at Bear Wallow, Fall River Mills, California under the same regional IDIQ (July 2024), and a $73.1 thousand total small business purchase order from the Fish and Wildlife Service for vegetation removal and mastication at the Sacramento River National Wildlife Refuge (March 2023). The company also performs on no-set-aside delivery orders, such as a $65.4 thousand wildland firefighting and fuels reduction order from Region 5 (July 2023) and a $152.5 thousand delivery order for unspecified products or services in Yreka, California from the same region (August 2022).

Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R5-Pacific Southwest Region accounts for 36 awards and $68.5 million in combined potential value across 89% of Diversified Resources's award volume. The next-tier customers by dollar value are the Forest Service Research Service Rocky Mountain Research Station ($53 million, 2 awards), the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 ($49.5 million, 1 award), and the Missoula Technology and Development Center ($7 million, 1 award). By count, the National Interagency Fire Center anchors seven awards valued at $2.3 million combined. The top-five customers by potential value account for 99% of the vendor's total award exposure.

Diversified Resources holds a $50 million single-award stewardship BPA with Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) running through October 2032, a $50 million single-award stewardship BPA with the Forest Service Research Service Rocky Mountain Research Station for Region 4 Nevada through the same date, and a $49.5 million multiple-award national fuels reduction BPA with Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 awarded September 28, 2026 and running through March 31, 2029. Three additional IDIQs for heavy equipment support carry ceilings of $750 thousand and $250 thousand across the National Interagency Fire Center for West Zone Regions 5 and 6. A $7 million single-award BPA from the Missoula Technology and Development Center provides storm and natural disaster recovery heavy equipment support across California and Nevada; this BPA expired in November 2023. Task orders placed against these vehicles predominantly fall under NAICS 541712 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC codes for forest-range fire suppression/presuppression, forest and range improvements, and tree thinning.

Activity has been uneven: two awards in 2021, eight in 2022, seven in 2023, two in 2024, and four awards through September 2026, reflecting a contract cycle driven by IDV awards and task order sequencing rather than consistent annual volume. The combined potential value of $182.4 million across 65 prime awards carries only $5.7 million in combined dollars obligated (3%), indicating that most awards are vehicle holders or small task orders not yet fully invoiced. The four awards issued in 2026 alone generated a combined potential value of $49.8 million, driven entirely by the Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 BPA ceiling on September 28, 2026 and related NIFC IDIQ vehicles. The $100+ million in three large stewardship and fuels-reduction BPAs represent multi-year ordering vehicles rather than firm revenue; their recompete windows fall well beyond 2028.
