I guess the privater sector isnt qualified to trap hogs?

I've got the local soil conservation district doing hog work for the grand sum of 25 dollars and client provides the corn and disposes of the carcasses with a jagerpro no less.

Makes you want to scream.

USDA Trying to say private contractors are not the way to go.

https://www.capitalpress.com/ag_sec...0b24b76-b8f9-11eb-8a67-338a4b3a9921.html

You need to work on your reading comprehension.
“There is a common misconception that life is going to be easier with contracting,” said board co-chair Celia Gould, director of the state Department of Agriculture.

USDA and state Department of Agriculture are two entirely different entities. USDA did not comment on private contractors in this article.

Here is an opportunity to stop USDA from getting a contract nwco should be getting.
Please reach out to these contacts and tell them your interested in doing the work!

20 7237 5200 RA North Carolina Department of Raleigh NC USA NC DOT: Beaver 07/01/20 06/30/21 $750,000.00
Transportation

Anymore information on this? Lots of North Carolina beaver trappers on this forum. A $750,000 contract could be a serious beaver gig for qualified operators

The challenge would be to assemble a small army of beaver trappers to handle the volume of work this gig requires.
They are losing roads to beavers. They want those beavers under control asap.
I cannot imagine the task of hiring as many qualified, trustworthy trappers as would be needed to handle a project of this size and scope. These trappers would be scattered all over the state. It would be tough to keep track of all of them, and keep them on the same page.

Then someone needs to open up a school to train private trappers.

There’s way more to beaver work than catching beavers, and that’s where training comes in

Training someone to trap beavers, even the last beaver would not be the difficult part. You need trappers who have good communications skills and be able to function with little supervision for a statewide program of this magnitude. Some of those skills aren't something you can school them on. Either a guy has it or he doesn't.
I am not sure what you mean by educating "private trappers." Are you suggesting that this project could be handled by numerous individual private trappers working independent of each other?

Market Research
The Government is issuing this Sources Sought Notice to determine a competitive basis. This is not a solicitation. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this survey.
The Nashville District oversees ten lakes, nine multi-purpose dams, eighteen navigation locks at fourteen locations, 267 recreation areas, 3,522 camping sites, and over 3,800 miles of shoreline. During the course of any given year, nuisance wildlife issues arise. These issues have ranged from removing skunks or raccoons from campgrounds to dispersing vultures, Canadian geese, and gulls. The need, however, extends beyond just removing a nuisance. For instance, other problems that the District encounters include animals burrowing into the District’s earthen dams—one of which is classified as DSAC I. Being able to quickly address these invasive species prevents weakening of these structures and the failure to address them poses a safety problem. The total area covered by these services is 336,106 acres of land and 216,200 acres of water.
As part of our market research we would like to get an idea of what industry is currently pricing these types of services. Please see the listed bid item schedule and complete and return to Contract Specialist Dellaria Martin at email Dellaria.L.Martin@usace.army.mil. We realize that more information could narrow the pricing; however this should be adequate for pricing alone at this time. Please keep in mind that mileage and per diem is always priced at the government rate in accordance with the Joint Travel Regulation (JTR).
