USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Wildlife Services awarded Freedom Sausage, Inc. a single-award indefinite-delivery contract on November 2, 2026, with a $697,500 ceiling under a Total Small Business set-aside. The contract procures white-tailed deer carcass processing in Illinois on an as-needed basis through task orders issued by the agency. It is a five-year firm fixed-price IDIQ running through October 31, 2031, with an estimated 500 to 1,600 deer annually, a $2,000 minimum guarantee, and a unit price of $75.00 per carcass based on an estimated 1,600 carcasses per ordering period.
Place of performance is Springfield, Illinois, with the processing facility required to sit within 70 road miles of the Interstate 55 and Interstate 80 intersection in Northeast Illinois and to have paved road access for USDA deliveries occurring two or more times weekly. The facility must be permitted and approved by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and licensed by the Illinois Department of Agriculture as Type II or higher for processing wild white-tailed deer meat. Work includes skinning, grinding venison into 1-2 pound packages marked "not for sale," and freezing to 0°F or below immediately. Venison from deer sampled for Chronic Wasting Disease must be held separately pending test clearance. Waste goes to approved sanitary landfill methods, and the condemned or unfit deer disposal rate may not exceed 2 percent.
Service Contract Labor Standards apply, with a prevailing wage of $17.00 per hour plus $5.92 per hour in fringe benefits for meat cutters in the applicable counties. The contract carries NAICS 311612 (Meat Processed from Carcasses) and PSC 8905 (Meat, Poultry, and Fish). The originating solicitation posted October 6, 2026, with quotations due October 16, 2026, and award went to the lowest-priced technically acceptable offer with acceptable or neutral past performance.
