Mitchell Diener Removal Services, LLC

Mitchell Diener Removal Services, LLC, doing business as Diener Services, is a Camden, New Jersey-based minority-owned, Black American-owned small disadvantaged business that provides autopsy assistant staffing to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor on single-award IDIQs set aside for total small business. The company operates exclusively as a prime — 100% of its 55 federal awards are direct prime contracts or subordinate delivery orders — with zero subcontract engagement across its portfolio.

Diener Services' capability scope is specialized and narrow: the company staffs post-mortem examination operations (known as "diener" or morgue assistant services) at VA medical facilities. The work centers on pathology support — assisting with autopsies and post-mortem examinations of deceased veterans across Pennsylvania and New Jersey medical centers. Recent delivery orders exemplify the footprint: a $11,600 firm fixed-price delivery order awarded April 1, 2026, exercising Option Year 2 under one IDIQ for autopsy assistant services at Wilkes-Barre VA Medical Center through March 31, 2029; a $58,000 delivery order awarded October 1, 2025, for autopsy assistant services across VISN 4 operations through September 30, 2026; and a $17,100 delivery order awarded April 1, 2023, for autopsy assistant services at Philadelphia VA Medical Center through September 30, 2024.

Customer concentration is absolute. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 accounts for all 44 awards in the active portfolio and the full $1.3 million combined potential value — 97% coverage by potential value, 80% by award count (the remaining 11 awards listed in the full portfolio likely span an earlier period not detailed in the source slice). Diener Services holds two single-award IDIQs with VISN 4: one set aside for total small business with a $59,600 ceiling awarded October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2029, and a second with a $58,000 ceiling awarded April 1, 2024, through March 31, 2027. Task orders flow consistently under both vehicles — the larger 2024 IDIQ has issued at least two named delivery orders totaling $69,600 in potential value. The company's registered SAM status dates to 2004, indicating longevity in this narrow VA-focused niche.

Activity has been episodic. Two awards in 2022 and 2023 each, four in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026 reflects the small dollar footprint and the as-needed task-order model inherent to IDIQ contracting at the regional VA network level. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $1.3 million with $409 thousand obligated (32% realization), and one award ($58 thousand) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure relative to the vendor's overall position.
