Delancey Preston

Delancey Preston, a Mississippi-based sole proprietorship specializing in predator trapping and wildlife management services, operates exclusively as a prime contractor under 100 percent small business set-asides issued by the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service. The vendor is classified under NAICS 114210 (Hunting and Trapping) and maintains no subcontract relationships.

Delancey Preston's federal work centers on predator control at the Mississippi Sandhill Crane National Wildlife Refuge, supplying labor, equipment, and materials to trap and remove coyotes, bobcats, feral dogs, foxes, raccoons, beavers, opossums, feral cats, nutria, and feral hogs while adhering to humane euthanization procedures and state wildlife regulations. Representative work includes a $1,627.50 BPA call from DOI Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 awarded August 18, 2026, for predator trapping at the refuge in Gautier, Mississippi (completion September 14, 2026); a $2,675 firm-fixed-price call from Region 4 awarded February 19, 2025 (completion March 15, 2025); and a $2,575 call from DOI Fish and Wildlife Service Region 9 Headquarters awarded December 1, 2023, for trapping services through September 30, 2024. Work is performed at the refuge in Gautier and Saucier, Mississippi.

Customer concentration is extreme. DOI Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 accounts for 59 of 87 total awards and $400 thousand of the combined $449 thousand potential value across the vendor's entire federal footprint. Supporting regional offices (Regions 6, 9, and 3) and unspecified FWS accounts add 28 awards valued at $49 thousand combined. The vendor serves a single federal customer (Department of the Interior, via Fish and Wildlife Service) across four geographic regions.

Delancey Preston holds four parent BPAs. The largest is Blanket Purchase Agreement 140F0419A0010, a Fish and Wildlife Service vehicle carrying 34 task orders worth $60 thousand combined potential value; this BPA originated in October 2019 and continues to generate recurring monthly calls. A second $250,000 BPA (140FS325A0001), awarded December 11, 2024, by DOI Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 and running through December 2029, carries 100 percent small business set-aside designation and has generated 11 task orders valued at $19 thousand since December 2024. Two additional older BPAs (INF14PA00043 with 26 task orders, $38 thousand, and INF10PA60268 with 12 task orders, $7 thousand) round out the portfolio.

Activity is stable at low volume. The vendor received 5 awards in 2023, 8 in 2024, 5 in 2025, and 6 year-to-date in 2026. Individual BPA calls are small—ranging from $500 to $2,850—and monthly cycles are typical. Combined potential value is $449 thousand with $124 thousand (28 percent) obligated to date, reflecting the short-cycle nature of recurring maintenance trapping work. The vendor operates profitably on small firm-fixed-price orders but lacks pipeline diversification or geographic spread beyond the Mississippi Sandhill Crane refuge ecosystem.
