DOD Defense Contracts Intelligence — October 29, 2026

DRC Emergency Services, LLC received a $30,093,702 firm-fixed-price delivery order from the Department of the Army (W072 ENDIST Nashville) for Hurricane Helene debris removal in the Cherokee National Forest, with performance running 2026-07-27 to 2027-03-24. The award is full-and-open with no set-aside, signaling competitive rather than policy-driven selection.

Total outlayed stands at $0 against the $30,093,702 obligation, so cash conversion and revenue timing for DRC Emergency Services remain unconfirmed despite the award date. Firm-fixed-price terms place performance and cost-overrun risk on the contractor for the seven-month debris-removal window.

The NAICS 562119 / PSC S208 classification and Hurricane Helene reference indicate one-time remediation work rather than a recurring service line, and the data shows no option structure or follow-on ceiling beyond the $30,093,702 base value. No multi-year budget trend for this service area can be established from a single order.

Firm-fixed-price delivery order to DRC Emergency Services for Hurricane Helene debris removal carries cost and schedule risk over the 2026-07-27 to 2027-03-24 performance period, with $0 outlayed to date providing no evidence of execution progress.

The entire $30,093,702 stream obligation sits with one recipient, DRC Emergency Services, LLC, and one Army district (W072 ENDIST Nashville), leaving no diversification across contractors or agencies in this period.

Disaster-recovery funding for Hurricane Helene debris removal is event- and appropriation-driven rather than tied to NDAA program lines, making the $30,093,702 order sensitive to supplemental appropriations timing and any continuing-resolution constraints on new starts.

DRC Emergency Services could parlay the $30,093,702 Hurricane Helene debris-removal order into additional ENDIST Nashville or broader Army Corps disaster-recovery task orders, given its full-and-open competitive win as a non-small-business, U.S.-owned firm.

The sole award in this stream is a $30,093,702 Hurricane Helene debris-removal order to DRC Emergency Services under NAICS 562119 and PSC S208, reflecting labor- and equipment-intensive cleanup work rather than defense technology or platform procurement.

The Department of the Army's W072 ENDIST Nashville district obligated $30,093,702 for Cherokee National Forest debris removal, illustrating civil-works and environmental-remediation activity flowing through Army Corps districts rather than traditional DOD procurement channels.
