About the company
Cambro Manufacturing Company, a for-profit manufacturer of durable foodservice equipment headquartered in Huntington Beach, California, supplies insulated food transporters, liquid dispensers, ice chests, storage containers, serving pans, and related accessories to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor competing in the open market without small business set-asides. The company operates 100% as a prime, with no subcontract footprint in the source data.
Cambro's federal work centers almost entirely on DLA Troop Support Subsistence procurement. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence accounts for 6,907 awards carrying $134.6 million in combined potential value—81% of Cambro's total award count and 78% of total potential value across all agencies. A secondary customer, GSA Federal Acquisition Service, holds 23 awards valued at $26.3 million (15% of potential value), primarily via Cambro's position on the General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule for foodservice products. The Defense Logistics Agency (broader agency) places a distant third with 666 awards at $4 million combined value. This concentration reflects Cambro's specialization in military dining facility and field feeding equipment—the company has logged nearly 8,500 awards over the source period, the vast majority delivery orders for food transporters and liquid dispensers issued under a single-award IDIQ vehicle.
Cambro's primary vehicle is the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence single-award IDIQ contract SPE3SE23D0001, awarded November 9, 2022, with a $16.1 million ceiling and ultimate completion date of November 14, 2026. This contract alone generated 289 delivery orders (per the vehicle ranking) carrying $5.3 million in combined potential value, though the actual footprint is far larger—the summary states the parent IDIQ has generated hundreds of delivery orders throughout 2023, 2024, and 2025. The contract authorizes DLA to procure food and beverage containers across federal supply classes 4110, 7310, 7320, and 7360, including insulated food transporters, liquid dispensers, storage containers, serving pans, ice chests, divider bars, latch assemblies, lid assemblies, food cooking stands, and accessories to support U.S. Armed Forces field feeding operations worldwide. DLA issues delivery orders firm-fixed-price with no set-aside designation through November 2025. Representative recent orders include a $160,024 food transporter delivery order awarded December 18, 2025 (completion February 17, 2026), a $146,822.02 food transporter order awarded October 15, 2025 (completion December 15, 2025), and a $77,728.88 food transporter order awarded October 9, 2025 (completion December 8, 2025). Cambro also maintains a position on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (Federal Supply Schedule GS07F9272G), which has generated 356 task orders valued at $3.5 million; recent GSA awards for CAMWEAR food pans and containers range from $101 to $403 per order, issued through the Federal Acquisition Service.
Cambro's broader award portfolio spans other DLA vehicles including a second-tier indefinite-delivery contract SPE3SE16D0001 with 4,865 task orders and $11.3 million combined potential value, and older contracts SPM3SE11D0003 (1,131 orders, $7.7 million) and SPM3SD05D0311 (988 orders, $7.4 million), suggesting legacy foodservice contracts that continue to generate small orders. Award-per-year trend shows modest activity: 50 awards in 2022, growing to 87 in 2024, then declining to 60 in 2025 and 67 in 2026 year-to-date. Combined potential value across all 8,470 awards is $171.7 million, with $71.5 million obligated (42% payout ratio), indicating Cambro operates primarily on delivery-order vehicles where potential ceiling values exceed invoiced work. Top NAICS categories reflect the product portfolio: General Line Grocery Merchant Wholesalers (4,888 awards), Other Metal Container Manufacturing (1,132 awards), and Household Cooking Appliance Manufacturing (1,002 awards). Top PSCs align with the scope: Sets, Kits, Outfits and Modules for Food Preparation and Serving (4,122 awards) and Food Cooking, Baking, and Serving Equipment (1,919 awards). Cambro competes with no set-aside protections across all named awards and serves 108 distinct federal agencies, though DLA concentration means recompete risk is heavily weighted to a single customer and vehicle.
