Hunting and Trapping

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 114210 for Hunting and Trapping encompasses a broad range of wildlife management and control services. These services include animal population control, wildlife removal, trapping, and research activities focused on managing wildlife populations in various environments. The category covers both commercial and conservation-oriented work involving the capture, monitoring, and control of different animal species, including ungulates, predators, and invasive species.

Federal contract awards under this NAICS code primarily involve wildlife management services for federal agencies such as the Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the National Park Service. Typical contract values range from $2,500 to $881,625, with performance periods spanning from several months to five years. Frequently awarded entities include small businesses like Field Engine Wildlife Research and Management LLC, Delancey Preston, and various regional trapping and wildlife control specialists. Most awards are set aside for small businesses, with common locations of performance including national wildlife refuges, national parks, and forest service lands across states like Hawaii, Mississippi, Nevada, and California.

Recent federal contract opportunities under this NAICS code focus on specialized wildlife management tasks. These include removing feral ungulates from the Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge in Hawaii, procuring specialized trapping equipment like Pig Brig net-style traps, and conducting white-tailed deer reduction services at national seashores. The opportunities demonstrate a continued government need for precise, targeted wildlife management services that support conservation efforts, protect endangered species, and control invasive animal populations. Solicitations typically request comprehensive services including trapping, population control, data collection, and equipment procurement across various ecological environments.
