  You can define the needed parent in your 'local' squid as in :

     cache_peer parent.foo.net parent parent_port icp_port login=user:password

  You will need only one working username/pw combination to access your offsite
  proxy server.
 
 
  If the offsite proxy server does not support ICP then use

cache_peer parent.foo.net parent parent_port icp_port login=user:password no-query

  See comments in on cache_peer in squid.conf.default for more details.
