Sacramento Rendering CO.

Sacramento Rendering CO., operating through its Travis Goodpasture Division, is a for-profit commercial entity registered with SAM.gov since April 2002 and headquartered at 11350 Kiefer Boulevard in Sacramento, California. The company specializes in rendering services and animal by-product processing, providing essential waste management and sample collection services to federal agencies. Sacramento Rendering CO. has maintained a stable federal contracting relationship for over two decades, leveraging its core competencies in animal waste disposal and specialized animal health support services to serve multiple U.S. government departments.

The company's federal contract portfolio reflects its specialization in two primary service areas: bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) sample collection for the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and animal carcass and waste removal services for other federal agencies. Under APHIS contracts, Sacramento Rendering has received multiple delivery orders for BSE sample collection in Sacramento, California, with awards including a $24,840 delivery order issued November 26, 2025, for collection of 138 bovine samples, a $24,840 delivery order from December 5, 2024, a $24,480 task order from October 17, 2023, and a $72,000 delivery order from September 20, 2022. Additionally, the company has provided carcass removal services to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 8, through a $79,999.64 purchase order awarded October 30, 2025, for twice-weekly removal of approximately 2,500 salmon carcasses from the Coleman National Fish Hatchery in Anderson, California, through May 31, 2026. Sacramento Rendering also holds a contract with the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) valued at $154,000 for fats and bones removal services and oil and grease removal services at Travis Air Force Base, California, with a performance period from September 1, 2021, through August 31, 2026. None of these awards utilized small business or competitive set-aside designations, reflecting the company's status as a full-size commercial contractor.

Sacramento Rendering CO. currently holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service valued at $1,236,600, awarded September 20, 2022, with a period of performance extending through August 31, 2027. This IDV supports APHIS's nationwide BSE surveillance program conducted in cooperation with the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) and FDA in accordance with the Animal Health Protection Act. Under this IDV structure, APHIS maintains flexibility to issue multiple delivery orders across different geographic regions as surveillance needs evolve, though to date the contract has primarily supported BSE sample collection activities in Sacramento, California. The IDV allows the agency to respond dynamically to emerging disease monitoring priorities and cattle subpopulation sampling requirements across the nation. The contract was structured as a single-award vehicle with minimum order thresholds of $300 and maximum order limits not to exceed $4 million, designed to ensure APHIS could obtain critical brain stem samples from targeted cattle demographics throughout the United States over the extended five-year performance window.
