contents The unitary bound restricts thermal relics to be lighter than $100$ TeV. This work investigates the production of ultraheavy dark matter and WIMPs in the presence of primordial black holes. Firstly, we describe how Hawking evaporation can produce ultraheavy dark matter with masses above $10^{12}$ GeV in radiation and matter-domination eras. Later, we assess how primordial black holes that induce a non-standard cosmology impact the predicted relic density of a thermal relic and explore the interplay between them, considering the restrictions arising from entropy injection due to the evaporation of primordial black holes. Considering a concrete B-L model, where the dark matter is a Dirac particle, we obtain the correct relic density for various freeze-out scenarios and show that a dark matter particle can nicely reproduce the correct relic density in agreement with current limits with masses above the $10$ TeV scale. Hence, this work strengthens the continuous search for heavy dark matter particles.
