Cascade Ice LLC

Cascade Ice LLC, operating as Cascade Ice, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Bend, Oregon, that manufactures and distributes ice, bottled water, sports drinks, refrigerated trailers, generators, and incident support equipment to federal wildfire and emergency response agencies as a prime contractor exclusively. The company competes entirely in full-and-open procurement and holds no SBA set-aside certifications beyond its self-certified small disadvantaged business status, though it qualifies for total small business set-asides on several parent vehicles.

Cascade Ice's customer concentration is highly specialized and geographic. The top two funding agencies account for 93% of combined potential value: the USDA Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) dominates with 91 awards valued at $2.5 million combined potential value, and the National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 8 awards worth $1.1 million. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region places 5 awards totaling $162 thousand. This concentration reflects Cascade Ice's operational footprint centered on the Pacific Northwest and incident support logistics during fire seasons and emergency response operations. Awards per year have grown substantially—from five awards in 2022 to nineteen in 2024—though recent activity in 2026 shows three awards to date. No recompete cliff is present in the source data.

Cascade Ice holds three indefinite delivery contracts—two VIPR I-BPA (Virtual Incident Procurement Indefinite Blanket Purchase Agreements) with the National Interagency Fire Center valued at $500,000 (awarded February 2026, performance through June 2030) and $250,000 (awarded June 2025, performance through June 2030), and a third IDC with the Forest Service valued at $250,000 (awarded June 2022, performance through June 2025). These vehicles are set aside for total small business participation and cover Regions 1 through 9 for refrigerated trailer deployment. Task orders under these IDCs include a $604,033 purchase order for pallets of ice to the Willamette Complex (July 2024), a $195,620 purchase order for water, Gatorade, and ice for the Rum Creek Fire (August 2022), and a $151,945 purchase order for pallets of water to support incident operations in Roseburg, Oregon (July 2026). Recent purchase orders outside the IDVs include a $40,975 pallet of ice to Sandy, Oregon (July 2026) and a $35,712 delivery of 24 pallets of ice, 10 pallets of water, and 5 pallets of sports drinks for Marks Creek incident support (September 2025).

Cascade Ice's award portfolio tracks almost entirely to wildfire suppression and all-hazard incident response. The top NAICS categories are Support Activities for Forestry (31 awards), Ice Manufacturing (23 awards), and Specialized Freight Trucking Local (22 awards). The top PSC codes reflect the operational profile: Beverages Nonalcoholic (46 awards) and Natural Resources/Conservation Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (41 awards) together represent the bulk of the work. The company operates across the western United States, with performance locations spanning Oregon, Washington, California, New Mexico, Montana, Idaho, and other Forest Service regions. Dollar obligations stand at $2.7 million against $4.1 million in combined potential value, reflecting 65% execution of announced contract ceilings.
