CRIDER, INC.

CRIDER, INC. specializes in the large-scale processing and packaging of USDA-compliant protein commodities for federal food assistance programs, with deep expertise in poultry processing and animal slaughter operations. The company produces ready-to-ship frozen and canned meat products—including diced chicken, boned chicken, pork, and beef cans—meeting stringent federal food safety and shelf-stability standards. Their technical capabilities encompass line automation, cryogenic freezing, aseptic canning, and HACCP-compliant sanitation protocols, ensuring consistent quality across high-volume production runs. CRIDER’s ability to consistently deliver bulk, shelf-stable protein commodities under tight federal timelines distinguishes them as a reliable partner in the U.S. food donation supply chain. The contractor maintains a longstanding and exclusive relationship with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, supplying critical protein commodities for domestic and international food aid initiatives. All recent awards are tied to USDA’s Commodity Assistance Program, where CRIDER fulfills requirements for nutrient-dense, shelf-stable meat products distributed through federal nutrition assistance channels. Their consistent performance across multiple award cycles reflects a proven track record in meeting USDA’s strict specifications for labeling, packaging, and cold chain integrity. CRIDER’s primary industry focus is in NAICS 311615 (poultry processing) and 311611 (animal slaughter), where they operate as a specialized processor of raw livestock into standardized, government-qualified food products. They are not a general food manufacturer but a precision supplier focused exclusively on high-volume, low-margin protein commodities for federal programs, positioning them as a critical node in the national food security infrastructure. As a small business structured as a 2L entity based in Stillmore, Georgia, CRIDER, INC. operates without federal certifications but leverages its facility’s USDA-FSIS inspection status and operational compliance to serve as a trusted contractor in the government food supply market. Their geographic footprint is centered in the Southeast, aligning with regional livestock supply chains and USDA logistics hubs.
