C-LOCK, INC.

C-LOCK, INC. specializes in the design, manufacturing, and sustained support of precision agricultural instrumentation systems, with a focus on methane and greenhouse gas monitoring solutions for livestock research. The company develops and maintains integrated hardware-software platforms such as the GREENFEED system, enabling real-time measurement of gas fluxes—including methane (CH₄), carbon dioxide (CO₂), oxygen (O₂), and hydrogen (H₂)—from individual animals in pasture environments. Their technical expertise spans sensor integration, data acquisition systems, ruggedized field-deployable instrumentation, and long-term software maintenance for remote research sites. C-LOCK’s key differentiator lies in its ability to deliver turn-key, pasture-compatible systems that bridge laboratory-grade analytical precision with field durability, supporting USDA’s mission in sustainable livestock and dairy research. The contractor maintains a consistent, long-term relationship with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, providing not only equipment but also comprehensive service contracts that include hardware repair, software updates, data access infrastructure, and on-site technical support at research centers in Wisconsin and beyond. Their work directly enables scientific studies in animal nutrition, emissions reduction, and climate-smart agriculture. C-LOCK operates primarily under NAICS 333111 (farm machinery and equipment manufacturing) and 334516 (analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing), positioning itself at the intersection of agricultural engineering and environmental sensing technology. They serve a niche market focused on precision livestock farming and greenhouse gas quantification tools for research institutions. C-LOCK, INC. is a small business headquartered in Rapid City, South Dakota, with no federal certifications on record. The company maintains a focused geographic footprint aligned with USDA research facilities, emphasizing direct, mission-critical support over broad federal market expansion.
