The company is registered in SAM.gov and has maintained active federal contracting status since October 2007, with its current registration valid through September 2026. Operating under the division name Acme Dry Ice & Ice Inc. and doing business as Acme Dry Ice Co, the vendor has established itself as a specialized supplier of critical laboratory logistics support to the Department of Veterans Affairs.

The company's federal contract portfolio consists exclusively of dry ice delivery services awarded by the Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 (VISN 1) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, primarily supporting medical and laboratory operations at VA healthcare facilities in the Boston and Cambridge, Massachusetts areas. Acme Dry Ice And Ice, Inc. has received multiple delivery orders and purchase orders valued between $10,580 and $156,000, with contract awards spanning from October 2021 through December 2025. These awards include firm fixed-price delivery orders issued under the company's Indefinite Delivery Contract framework, as well as standalone purchase orders designated as Total Small Business set-asides. The most recent award, issued December 1, 2025, valued at $38,480, represents a continuation of the company's established relationship with VISN 1 for dry ice and packaging supplies essential for specimen storage and transport. All contracts reflect the company's capacity to provide direct performance without subcontractor involvement, demonstrating specialized expertise in scientific logistics and reliable delivery capabilities critical to the VA's healthcare operations.

Acme Dry Ice And Ice, Inc. currently holds two active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Veterans Integrated Service Network 1. The primary active IDC, awarded December 1, 2023, carries a ceiling value of $192,400 with a performance period extending through November 30, 2026, and has generated multiple delivery orders totaling $38,480 each, awarded on December 1, 2023, and December 1, 2024, respectively. A second IDC with a ceiling value of $82,680, awarded October 1, 2021, expired on September 30, 2023. These single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts operate as firm fixed-price arrangements without set-aside designations, providing VISN 1 with flexible procurement authority to issue delivery orders as operational needs arise for dry ice and temperature-sensitive packaging materials. The established contract history demonstrates the VA's confidence in the vendor's ability to reliably supply materials critical to specimen management and laboratory operations across the New England region's VA healthcare system.
