Deer Carcass Processing
This active Sources Sought notice from USDA APHIS Wildlife Services seeks capability information from a permitted and licensed meat-processing facility to process white-tailed deer carcasses in Illinois. The facility must be within 70 road miles of the intersection of Interstate 55 and Interstate 80 in northeast Illinois, have paved access, meet Illinois DNR and Illinois Department of Agriculture requirements, and be able to process 500 to 1,600 carcasses annually. It is a market-research notice rather than a grant or current solicitation, and capability responses are due September 30, 2026 at 1:00 PM CDT.
