About this award
The Office of Naval Research (ONR) awarded a $19,500 purchase order to Circus Ice Cream Inc., a family-owned small business based in Waldorf, Maryland, for the procurement and delivery of dry ice supplies. This total small business set-aside contract, awarded on February 4, 2026, requires the delivery of approximately 15,600 pounds of dry ice over a one-year performance period through February 5, 2027, with weekly deliveries of 150 pounds each to two Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) facilities in St. Charles, Maryland. The award was issued under simplified acquisition procedures following a sole-source determination that Circus Ice Cream Inc. represented the only responsible source capable of satisfying the government's specific requirements.
Circus Ice Cream Inc. has established itself as an incumbent supplier of dry ice materials to the Department of the Navy, having received nine prime federal contract awards since January 2022 with a combined ceiling value of approximately $398,179. All previous awards have involved dry ice delivery and procurement services funded by either ONR or Naval Sea Systems Command, supporting critical research activities and facility operations across multiple Navy installations in the Washington D.C. metropolitan and Southern Maryland regions. This award reflects the contractor's demonstrated reliability and specialized expertise in cold storage logistics essential to naval research programs.
