Scentry Biologicals, Inc.

Scentry Biologicals, Inc., doing business as Scentry Biologicals Inc., manufactures specialized insect monitoring and control equipment — traps, lures, dispensers, and pheromone products — sold as a prime contractor exclusively to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA APHIS) for plant protection and quarantine operations. The company is a small business based in Billings, Montana, competing across both small-business set-asides and full-and-open procurements, with roughly equal distribution between the two postures across its recent award footprint.

Scentry Biologicals' customer concentration is extreme and deliberate. USDA APHIS accounts for 321 of 375 awards (86% of recent awards) and $75.4 million of the $81.6 million combined potential value (93% of dollars). Within APHIS, the Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) division dominates at 211 awards and $57.9 million, with smaller streams from the Marketing and Regulatory Programs Business Services division (9 awards, $10.3 million), the International Services and Trade Support Team (57 awards, $3.8 million), and APHIS broadly (41 awards, $3.4 million). The Agricultural Research Service Field Research Implementation and Information Delivery program holds only 3 awards valued at $59 thousand. This single-customer dependency reflects Scentry's role as a specialized supplier of agricultural pest-detection equipment with deep, multi-year relationships.

Capability footprint centers on delta traps (paper and plastic variants in brown, orange, and green), Jackson trap bodies and components, fruit fly lures in two- and three-component configurations, methyl eugenol solid lures and dispensers, trimedlure plugs and dispensers for Mediterranean fruit fly detection, gypsy moth lures (disparlure), cue lure dispensers, wing trap kits, Jackson hangers, and spongy moth milk carton traps. Representative recent work includes a $1.335 million delivery order (February 2024) for TML 4G insect traps and lures under an existing IDIQ, a $802.2 million delivery order (February 2023) for 191 cases of trimedlure plugs, and a $638 thousand delivery order (January 2024) for mixed lures, pheromones, and monitoring tools. NAICS coding reflects the portfolio: Pesticide and Other Agricultural Chemical Manufacturing accounts for 245 awards, with secondary categories including All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing (25 awards), All Other Converted Paper Product Manufacturing (19 awards), and Biological Product Manufacturing (14 awards).

Vehicle holdings span eight active Indefinite Delivery Contracts. The largest by ceiling is a $5.34 million single-award IDIQ for trimedlure and dispensers (awarded June 2022, through May 2025), followed by a $3.62 million single-award IDIQ for Jackson trap bodies and components (awarded February 2022, through January 2027). A $3.915 million single-award IDIQ for methyl eugenol solid lures runs through August 2030 (awarded September 2025). A $1.92 million single-award IDIQ for brown, orange, and green delta traps through the International Services and Trade Support Team (awarded July 2022, through June 2027) supports border and trade-support operations. Smaller vehicles include a $750 thousand IDIQ for methyl eugenol lures plug-style (through January 2025), a $603 thousand IDIQ for gypsy moth lure (through July 2025), a $199.5 thousand IDIQ for large delta traps (through August 2028), and a newly awarded $150 thousand single-award IDIQ for spongy moth milk carton traps (through May 2030). Task orders against these vehicles numbered 10 to 18 per IDIQ in recent years, with firm fixed-price structures dominating.

Activity has been volatile. Awards peaked at 23 in 2022, dropped to 9 in 2023, recovered to 13 in 2024, climbed to 15 in 2025, and stand at 7 for the partial year 2026 (as of early June). Combined potential value is $81.6 million with $30.5 million obligated (37% utilization), indicating substantial pipeline depth. Nine awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $2 million — a modest recompete exposure relative to the overall portfolio, suggesting most underlying IDIQs extend well beyond the near-term horizon.

Performance locations split between Scentry's headquarters facility in Billings, Montana (majority of orders) and a secondary facility in Edinburg, Texas. All federal work is prime contracting; the vendor does not appear in sub-award records across the source data. Scentry operates as a 100% federal contractor with no identified commercial-sector or other-agency business in the award history provided, making it structurally dependent on APHIS PPQ continuity and recompete success.
