Cascade Ice LLC

Cascade Ice LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Bend, Oregon, is a manufacturer and distributor of ice products, hydration solutions, and incident support equipment. Registered in SAM.gov since 2004, the company specializes in providing critical logistical support to federal agencies, with a primary focus on the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service. As a partnership or limited liability partnership, Cascade Ice LLC has established itself as a key supplier of essential products and services for emergency response, wildland firefighting, and agency operational needs across multiple western states.

The company has consistently provided a diverse range of goods and services through federal contract awards, primarily to the USDA Forest Service across its Pacific Northwest, Southwestern, Southern, and Pacific Southwest regions. These offerings include ice, bottled water, sports drinks, refrigerated trailers, generators, trucks, and other incident support items. The contract awards have been predominantly firm fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders, with no specific set-aside designations in most cases. Cascade Ice LLC has supported critical operations such as wildland firefighting efforts, emergency response operations, and facility support, with contract values ranging from a few thousand dollars to over $600,000 for individual awards. The company has demonstrated its capability to rapidly respond to urgent agency needs, particularly during fire seasons and emergency incidents.

Cascade Ice LLC holds two significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the USDA Forest Service, specifically VIPR I-BPAs (Indefinite Blanket Purchase Agreements) for refrigerated trailers. These IDCs, each with a ceiling value of $250,000, cover regions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and the national region, and are set aside for total small business participation. The contracts enable the company to provide nationwide refrigerated trailer, ice, water, sports drinks, trucks, generators, and other incident support logistics. These IDVs, with performance periods extending to 2025 and 2030, have been used to issue numerous firm fixed-price delivery orders across multiple regions, procuring local ice delivery, refrigerated trailers, and other supply deliveries to support fire suppression, emergency response, and general agency operations.
