DEMATIO BUILDERS

Dematio Builders specializes in aquatic invasive species management, with demonstrated expertise in sea lamprey trapping and control operations within freshwater ecosystems. Their technical capabilities center on the design, deployment, and maintenance of specialized trapping infrastructure in riverine environments, leveraging ecological monitoring protocols and fisheries management best practices to support federal conservation objectives. The contractor applies precision targeting methods to intercept and remove invasive lampreys during critical migration phases, integrating hydrological data, seasonal behavior patterns, and habitat mapping to optimize trap placement and efficacy. This work requires deep familiarity with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service protocols, state-federal coordination frameworks, and environmental compliance standards for non-target species protection. The contractor’s primary agency relationship is with the Department of the Interior, specifically supporting fisheries and wildlife programs under the U.S. Geological Survey or National Park Service. Their work aligns with the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative’s invasive species control priorities, focusing on river systems critical to native fish population recovery. This partnership suggests a sustained, mission-driven engagement focused on ecosystem restoration rather than transactional service delivery. Dematio Builders operates within NAICS 114210 (Hunting and Trapping), which in this context reflects ecological control operations using regulated trapping methods rather than commercial harvesting. Their market positioning is niche but critical, serving federal natural resource agencies that require specialized, ecologically sensitive interventions to preserve native aquatic biodiversity. The work demands technical proficiency in trap engineering, field logistics in remote aquatic settings, and adherence to strict environmental impact mitigation standards. The company is structured as a 2J entity, indicating a small business with limited government certifications. Located in West Branch, Michigan, it maintains a localized operational footprint centered on the Great Lakes basin, positioning it as a regional specialist in freshwater invasive species management with direct access to key watersheds under federal stewardship.
