About the company
Circus Ice Cream Inc., a family-owned small business based in Waldorf, Maryland, supplies dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) and related cold-storage materials to the Department of the Navy as a prime contractor on an all small-business-set-aside basis, with no federal grants or subcontract activity. The vendor operates under NAICS codes centered on industrial gas manufacturing and chemical products wholesaling, competing in a highly specialized niche of recurring, low-dollar purchase orders for Navy research and facility operations in the Washington D.C. metro and Southern Maryland region.
The vendor serves two Navy customer organizations exclusively: the Office of Naval Research (ONR) holds 13 awards valued at $255 thousand, and Naval Sea Systems Command holds 4 awards valued at $316 thousand, for a combined portfolio of $571 thousand across 17 prime contracts since 2008. Awards surface as firm fixed-price purchase orders under Total Small Business set-aside designations when applicable; recent examples include a $19.5 thousand one-year dry ice delivery contract to ONR's Naval Research Laboratory in St. Charles, Maryland awarded February 4, 2026 (150 pounds weekly for one year), a $147.4 thousand purchase order to Naval Sea Systems Command for Engineering and Maintenance Department support through September 2030, and a $38.4 thousand bulk dry ice procurement from ONR awarded December 12, 2024 for research programs across the D.C. metro region. The vendor's position as incumbent supplier is reinforced by sole-source and competitive awards in successive years; prior contracts date to January 2022 forward.
Activity has remained modest and stable — three awards in 2022 and 2023, one in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026 — reflecting the recurring, low-volume nature of Navy facility cold-storage demand. Two awards (combined potential value $58 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. Circus Ice Cream has held no federal vehicles (no GWACs, BPAs, or agency-wide IDIQs) and operates solely through individual purchase orders. The vendor's 40-year operating history in Southern Maryland ice cream, dry ice, candy, and equipment rentals provides the local supply-chain presence and established logistics capability that Navy facilities require for consistent weekly deliveries to multiple installations.
