MDS Land Surveying Inc.

MDS Land Surveying Inc., a small business Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Kerrville, Texas, performs cadastral boundary surveys and land retracement services for the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service exclusively as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The vendor operates in NAICS 541370 (Surveying and Mapping) and PSC R404 (Land Surveys—Cadastral), with 100% of its recent federal prime work concentrated in surveying across multiple Fish and Wildlife Service regions and refuges in Texas and the Southwest.

MDS Land Surveying's customer base is entirely Interior Fish and Wildlife Service. The top three FWS components account for 88% of awards by count and 87% of combined potential value, split between Fish and Wildlife Service Region 2 (8 awards, $497 thousand combined potential value), the parent Fish and Wildlife Service entity (33 awards, $88 thousand combined potential value), and Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 (2 awards, $41 thousand combined potential value). Recent representative work includes a $142,490 definitive contract from FWS Region 2 for cadastral surveying at Moody National Wildlife Refuge (July 2026, covering boundary retracement, monument recovery and establishment, and refuge boundary posting across 3,534.8 acres), a $24,216 purchase order from FWS Region 2 for boundary survey work at Attwater Prairie Chicken National Wildlife Refuge (July 2026), and a $54,995.50 purchase order for the Bagley Survey in Yuma, Arizona (June 2026). Work is performed under four Indefinite Delivery Contracts, with 28 task orders placed under IDC 201818C027A.

Activity has been sparse and volatile across the measured period — two awards in 2022, one in 2023, two in 2024, one in 2025, and three in 2026 — with combined obligated dollars ($1.5 million) exceeding combined potential value ($717 thousand), indicating past overruns or invoiced amounts beyond original ceiling estimates on completed work. Two awards are scheduled for completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $167 thousand and representing modest recompete exposure. The vendor has no subcontract footprint and does not participate in GWACs, BPAs, or GSA Schedules. MDS Land Surveying's entire federal position rests on sole-customer repeat work with Fish and Wildlife Service for boundary retracement and cadastral surveying at national wildlife refuges, predominantly in Texas.
