Glaze Enterprises LLC

Glaze Enterprises LLC, doing business as Glaze's BBQ, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Lompoc, California that operates as a prime contractor providing mobile food service and barbecue catering to support federal emergency response and incident management operations. The vendor competes exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) and operates entirely within Total Small Business set-asides on its Indefinite Delivery Contracts, though individual purchase orders and delivery orders against those IDCs carry both set-aside and full-and-open designations.

Glaze Enterprises' federal customer base is entirely concentrated within the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The USDA Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) accounts for all 15 awards (14 awards, $1.9 million combined potential value), with a single additional award under the Forest Service's national umbrella. The vendor holds three Indefinite Delivery Contracts with Region 5: a $1 million single-award Preseason Incident-Blanket Purchase Agreement for incident support meals and hydration services across the Southern California Zone National Forests (Angeles, San Bernardino, Cleveland, and Los Padres), running through March 31, 2029 and set aside for total small business; and two expired or expiring regional IDCs of $250,000 each for Los Padres National Forest and the broader southern California zone. Recent delivery orders placed against the active BPA include a $15,500 order awarded June 1, 2025 and an $11,500 order also awarded June 1, 2025, both for mobile food service in Solvang, California. Outside the IDCs, Glaze Enterprises receives purchase orders for emergency fire suppression meal support — most recently a $157,531.83 purchase order from Region 5 on August 28, 2026 to provide breakfast, lunch, dinner, sack lunches, and hydration services for the Plaskett Fire near Big Sur, California, with completion by September 2, 2026. Earlier awards include a $75,854.92 order (August 2025) and a $69,093.26 order (August 2025) both for Gifford Fire meal support, demonstrating sustained deployment in high-tempo incident response.

Capability characterization maps squarely to food service and perishable food manufacturing. NAICS categories in the portfolio center on Food Service Contractors, Caterers, and Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing (NAICS 311991); PSC codes emphasize Special Dietary Foods and Natural Resources Forest-Range Fire Suppression. The vendor delivers sack lunches, water pallets, sports drink pallets, ice pallets, and full meal service (breakfast, lunch, dinner, hydration) to firefighting personnel and incident response teams across California national forests, with geographic reach limited to vendors within 250 miles of specified dispatch centers per solicitation requirements.

Activity shows marked growth. The vendor recorded one award in 2022, two in 2023, one in 2024, six in 2025, and one year-to-date in 2026 — six awards in 2025 alone signal significant scaling in response capacity during peak wildfire season. Combined potential value is $2.1 million across 15 awards, though only $631 thousand (30%) has been obligated, reflecting the short-duration, on-demand nature of purchase orders and delivery orders. The single-award BPA running through March 2029 anchors long-term continuity, but the vendor carries no subcontract footprint and operates purely as a direct service provider without teaming relationships.
