EMPRESAS GUTIERREZ DEL ARROYO INC

Empresas Gutierrez del Arroyo Inc. specializes in the manufacturing and timely delivery of packaged ice products for military logistics operations, with a demonstrated focus on supporting troop readiness during field training exercises. Their core capability lies in precision ice production and cold-chain logistics, ensuring consistent, hygienic, and durable 40-pound bagged ice units that meet stringent operational requirements in austere environments. The company applies rigorous quality control in ice manufacturing processes, including contamination prevention, temperature stabilization, and packaging integrity—critical for sustaining personnel health and mission effectiveness in high-heat operational theaters. Their ability to coordinate multiple delivery windows under tight timelines reflects strong supply chain coordination and just-in-time logistics execution tailored to DoD operational cycles. The contractor has delivered exclusively to the Department of Defense, specifically supporting annual training events requiring reliable, non-perishable hydration and cooling solutions for deployed forces. This singular but mission-critical relationship underscores a focused alignment with military logistical needs, particularly in summer training cycles where thermal stress mitigation is essential. Their work is not general commodity supply but targeted, time-sensitive support embedded within force readiness programs. The primary NAICS code, 312113—Ice Manufacturing—reflects a niche industrial specialization in producing food-grade frozen water products under controlled conditions. While uncommon in federal contracting, this vertical serves a vital, if overlooked, role in force sustainment. The company occupies a unique position as a specialized supplier within the defense support services ecosystem, bridging industrial manufacturing with tactical field logistics. As a small business structured as a 2L entity based in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico, Empresas Gutierrez del Arroyo Inc. operates with localized production capacity and regional logistical advantages. The firm holds no federal certifications but leverages its geographic positioning and manufacturing precision to meet the unique demands of U.S. military operations in tropical and subtropical environments.
