Kyle Van Galder

Kyle Van Galder, operating as Van Galder Family Farms, is a sole proprietorship based in Montour, New York that provides Canadian geese and poultry processing services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a prime contractor under total small business set-aside vehicles. The vendor operates exclusively under the Department of Agriculture, with all six awards concentrated in geese processing for APHIS food services programs and a single $200,000 grant from USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service for facility expansion.

Van Galder Family Farms holds a single-award IDIQ contract (ID: 12639523D0047) issued by APHIS on March 16, 2023, with a $75,000 ceiling running through March 19, 2028, structured as a base year plus four follow-on ordering periods. Four delivery orders have been placed under this IDIQ since award: $10,512.50 on March 20, 2023, for the base year; $14,700 for follow-on year one (March 20, 2024); $15,000 for follow-on year two (March 20, 2025); and $15,300 on May 6, 2026, for geese processing supporting food services. All orders are firm fixed price. Performance occurs at two locations in New York: Rensselaer and Alpine. A separate delivery order for $15,000 was issued March 20, 2025, under APHIS's Veterinary Services bureau, also for Canadian geese processing through March 19, 2026.

The vendor's federal footprint is concentrated: Department of Agriculture agencies account for 100% of the six awards identified in the source, with APHIS (Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service) dominating at four awards worth $116,000 combined potential value. The vendor operates at a small scale—combined potential value across all federal awards stands at $131,000, though combined dollars obligated ($256,000) exceed that figure, reflecting multi-year delivery order performance. One award ($15,000) faces completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore enters recompete window.

Beyond contracts, Van Galder Family Farms received a $200,000 USDA Agricultural Marketing Service Project Grant (CFDA 10.180) under the Meat and Poultry Inspection Readiness Grants program with a performance period running September 30, 2021, through September 29, 2024. The grant funded facility expansion of approximately 2,500 square feet and equipment upgrades including a stuffing machine, refrigeration components, water heater, electric hoists, mixer/grinder, bowl cutter, scales, and backup generator to increase production capacity, energy efficiency, and food safety standards for underserved producers and small farms in the Northeast region. The vendor describes itself as a family-run operation founded in 2012 that has invested capital beyond the grant ceiling in site work and equipment procurement to support both contract work and commercial market expansion within New York and contiguous states.
