Work Requirements:

The U. S. Department of Agricultural (USDA) Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Wildlife Services (WS) division is looking to create a contract or contracts with one or more meat processing facilities to process Canada goose carcasses in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Department of Agricultural (USDA) Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Wildlife Services (WS) program staff shall deliver Canada geese to the processing facility from one to five days per week throughout the summer (June - August). The processor shall allow the USDA-WS to deliver geese 24 hours a day. The geese will be euthanized by USDA-WS employees at the processing facility. The estimated quantity of goose processing is 500 - 2,000 geese per year. The 5-year total is not-to-exceed 10,000 geese.

The processor is only required to process goose breast meat, not the entire bird or pluck the bird. The processor shall be responsible for the disposal of all waste byproducts from the processing of the geese.

The processing facility shall store the packaged and frozen meat in a freezer until it is picked up by a charitable organization(s) or by USDA-WS, which may take up to 3 months.

The USDA-WS shall advise the processing facility which charitable organization(s) will be provided the meat. Once the harvest season is complete, the processing facility shall notify the charitable organizations(s) that meat is available for pick up.

The processing facility shall maintain a copy of the goose harvest information for a period of one year and shall allow for inspection by the USDA-WS with reasonable advance notice.

The processing facility shall provide an invoice for processing services to the USDA-WS at the conclusion of the processing season, which typically is August each year.
