Hidden Valley Industries, LLC

Hidden Valley Industries, LLC, a small business based in Menomonie, Wisconsin, supplies canned vegetables, fresh produce, meat, and other subsistence items to the Bureau of Prisons as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides and full-and-open purchase orders. The company is a for-profit limited liability corporation registered as a federal contractor since 2002 and operates exclusively as a prime contractor—268 recent awards span entirely prime work with no subcontract activity.

Hidden Valley's customer base is heavily concentrated within the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons. The top five correctional facilities account for 35% of recent awards by count and 41% of combined potential value. Federal Correctional Institution Oxford leads with 28 awards worth $359 thousand combined potential value, followed by United States Penitentiary Leavenworth with 19 awards worth $192 thousand and Federal Correctional Institution Sandstone with 22 awards worth $168 thousand. Federal Medical Center Rochester, Federal Correctional Complex Beaumont, and Federal Prison Camp Duluth round out the active set. Awards are characterized by small dollar values—most purchase orders range from under $1 thousand to $55 thousand—reflecting quarterly and seasonal food procurement cycles. Recent representative work includes a $55.8 thousand purchase order from Federal Correctional Complex Petersburg in January 2026 for subsistence supplies with an April 2026 completion date, a $22.3 thousand total small business set-aside from Federal Correctional Institution Oxford in April 2024 for vegetable delivery, and a $24 thousand total small business award from Federal Correctional Complex Victorville in June 2022 for canned vegetables.

Hidden Valley's capability portfolio centers on food and beverage procurement classified primarily under NAICS 425410 (General Line Grocery Merchant Wholesalers, 105 awards) and NAICS 311999 (All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing, 65 awards), with secondary categories in food service contracting and produce canning. PSC classification runs predominantly to Food, Oils and Fats (153 awards) and Fruits and Vegetables (56 awards), with smaller allocations to specialty dietary foods and meat products. Activity trajectory shows episodic volatility—two awards in 2019, seven in 2021, three in 2022, one in 2024, and one in 2026—reflecting the lumpy rhythm of prison food supply procurement across a dispersed network of 47 distinct federal customer agencies. All $2.3 million in combined potential value has obligated in full, indicating consistent contract performance and award execution. Hidden Valley competes across both total small business set-asides and unrestricted procurements, with no designated WOSB, HUBZone, SDVOSB, or 8(a) posture evident in the recent award stream.
