Arctic Glacier USA Inc.

Arctic Glacier USA Inc., a California-based manufacturer and distributor of packaged ice products, supplies bagged ice (predominantly 16-pound and 20-pound bags) and refrigerated trailer rental services to the U.S. Marine Corps and related military organizations as a prime contractor on full-and-open (non-set-aside) indefinite delivery and delivery-order contracts. The company competes exclusively in open market procurements with no SBA set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

Arctic Glacier is a for-profit corporation headquartered in Elk Grove, California, classified under primary NAICS 312113 (Ice Manufacturing). The vendor operates solely as a prime contractor—363 awards across the past thirteen years with zero subcontract activity—and holds no positions on government-wide acquisition contracts, BPAs, or agency schedules. All work flows through single-award or multiple-award indefinite delivery contracts at the using agency level, not through centralized vehicle structures.

Customer concentration is extreme and narrow. The Marine Corps and the Marine Air Ground Combat Center account for 353 of 363 awards (99% of the portfolio by count) and $13.3 million of $13.4 million combined potential value. The Marine Corps alone holds 260 delivery orders valued at $3.6 million; the Marine Air Ground Combat Center holds 93 orders valued at $9.7 million. The remaining four customer agencies (Kansas Army National Guard, the Army, the Air Force, and Fish and Wildlife Service) together account for eight awards worth $83 thousand—rounding error in the portfolio. This customer concentration represents acute business risk; the vendor is operationally dependent on continued Marine Corps ice procurements across two installations (Twentynine Palms, California, and Yuma, Arizona, with secondary performance at Martinez Lake, Arizona).

Arctic Glacier's work is centered on two primary indefinite delivery contracts. The Marine Corps awarded a single-award IDC valued at $211,824.50 on September 20, 2022, running through September 25, 2027, which authorizes on-demand delivery of 16-pound bags of bagged ice, delivery services, and merchandising support across Marine Corps installations in Arizona and California. Under this vehicle, the Marine Corps has issued 160 delivery orders totaling $1.8 million in combined potential value since award. A second IDC (M6739913D0004) has generated 106 task orders worth $1.3 million. Representative delivery orders include $47,094.99 (February 2026, bagged ice and delivery to Twentynine Palms), $29,446.37 (September 2025, 16-pound bagged ice), $44,382.17 (February 2025, bagged ice), and $42,264.67 (August 2024, bagged ice). Smaller ancillary orders include refrigerated trailer rentals (ranging from $2,840 to $102,900) and occasional items such as portable toilets ($318). The vendor also holds three additional Marine Corps IDCs that have generated 27, 17, and 15 task orders respectively across lower-value work.

Activity has declined sharply. The vendor received 33 awards in 2022, 30 in 2023, 19 in 2024, four in 2025, and one in 2026. This trajectory reflects either reduced Marine Corps demand for cold storage logistics or potential supply-chain consolidation. The portfolio does not display a meaningful recompete cliff; the underlying September 2022 IDC does not reach ultimate completion until September 2027, providing stable long-term revenue visibility if the Marine Corps continues ordering at historical rates.

The vendor's capability portfolio is narrow and specialized: bagged ice products in standard (16-pound and 20-pound) bag sizes, delivery logistics to forward and desert installations, refrigerated trailer rentals for temporary cold storage, and ice merchandiser support. Work is performed at Marine Corps installations in Arizona and California, with administrative oversight from Elk Grove. Arctic Glacier competes in full-and-open market procurements with no set-aside advantage; its competitive position rests entirely on logistics capability, pricing, and established performance relationships with the Marine Corps rather than on SBA certification or protected-market access.
