SPENCE RUSSELL LEE

Spence Russell Lee specializes in the custom processing of live poultry, with demonstrated expertise in the humane handling, slaughter, and preparation of geese for wild game and custom retail channels. The contractor operates under a sole-source arrangement to process live geese during a narrow seasonal window, ensuring compliance with food safety and wildlife regulation standards. Their technical capabilities include precise temperature-controlled processing, carcass dressing, and yield optimization for niche game meat markets, with a focus on small-batch, high-integrity production that meets stringent USDA inspection requirements. Differentiators include seasonal operational agility, direct alignment with wild game processing protocols, and experience serving specialized consumer segments requiring traceable, non-commercially scaled outcomes. The contractor has established a focused relationship with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, delivering processing services under a sole-source contract that aligns with USDA’s oversight of specialty meat production. This engagement reflects a trusted, recurring partnership centered on compliance with federal food safety and wildlife handling regulations, particularly for non-traditional poultry species used in custom and subsistence markets. Their primary industry focus is NAICS 311615 — Poultry Processing — where they operate at the intersection of agricultural production and specialty food manufacturing. Rather than mass production, they serve a highly specialized vertical: the processing of game birds for limited-release, non-commercial markets. This positions them as a niche provider within the broader meat processing sector, distinguished by their ability to handle low-volume, high-regulation tasks outside conventional poultry supply chains. Spence Russell Lee is structured as a 2J entity, indicating a small, likely owner-operated business based in Fort Collins, Colorado. While no formal government certifications are listed, their ability to secure and execute a federal sole-source contract demonstrates proven compliance with federal procurement and food safety standards. Their geographic presence supports regional agricultural networks, and their market positioning is defined by precision, seasonality, and regulatory fidelity in a highly specialized processing niche.
