About Aforge LLC

Aforge LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business and veteran-owned LLC based in Lorton, Virginia, operates as both a prime contractor (19% of recent awards) and subcontractor (81% of recent awards), delivering engineering services, additive manufacturing, IT infrastructure support, and technical operations analysis to defense and civilian federal agencies. The vendor holds SBA certifications as a Veteran-Owned Small Business and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (both expiring December 8, 2028) and competes under full-and-open procurement vehicles rather than set-asides across its prime footprint.

Aforge's recent prime work centers on three vehicles: a $9.8 million single-award indefinite-delivery contract with the Defense Logistics Agency for additive manufacturing under the Joint Additive Manufacturing Acceptability (JAMA) IV Pilot Parts Program (awarded February 25, 2026, running through February 24, 2031), a $151 billion multiple-award IDIQ with the Missile Defense Agency for the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) contract (awarded December 29, 2025, extending through December 28, 2035, with an initial delivery order valued at $500 for performance in Huntsville, Alabama), and a $1.5 million GSA Multiple Award Schedule (expires September 12, 2029) covering 55 labor categories ranging from Software Engineer, Level 1 at $93.54 per hour to Cloud Subject Matter Expert, Level 5 at $279.18 per hour, all requiring bachelor's degrees with no security-cleared positions offered. A fourth prime delivery order under the GSA Schedule to the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering on March 10, 2025, carried a nominal value of $14,788.81 for a polyjet cleaning cabin supporting the IDEAS initiative, with performance at Aforge's Lorton facility.

The JAMA IV contract establishes Aforge as a qualified supplier for additive manufacturing including laser powder bed fusion, directed energy deposition, material extrusion, cold spray, and binder jetting, with primary manufacturing at Fort Belvoir, Virginia and deliveries across U.S. military locations including Alabama, Illinois, New Jersey, Georgia, California, Florida, and Pennsylvania. The SHIELD IDIQ spans research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threat domains, leveraging artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures.

Aforge's subcontractor footprint (35 of 43 awards) concentrates with two primes: Applied Research Associates, Inc. (28 sub-awards spanning F-22 TE-RECCS II IT hardware, software renewal, IT services, and DHS operations analysis and operational requirements documents development) and Parsons Government Services Inc. (5 sub-awards for cyber mission support and COCOM cyber mission support services). One additional sub-award to Linquest Corporation (January 18, 2024) involved DARPA engineering services. The subcontract work with Applied Research Associates dominates the portfolio by volume and spans F-22 program support, nuclear capabilities development, and mission awareness capabilities optimization.

Customer concentration by award count sits with the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Aeronautical Systems Center (14 awards), the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate (9 awards), and the Department of the Air Force Space Command Space and Missile Systems Center (5 awards), accounting for 79% of recent awards. However, dollar concentration diverges sharply: the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support anchors $9.8 million (87% of combined potential value) through the JAMA IV IDIQ, with the GSA Federal Acquisition Service contributing $1.5 million. Aforge serves twelve distinct customer agencies total across the award set.

Activity shows significant acceleration from three awards in 2021 to 26 in 2024, followed by ten awards in 2025 and two through mid-2026. The combined potential value across all awards totals $11.3 million with $9.1 million obligated (80% of potential). The top parent vehicles are One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services – Small Business (14 task orders), One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services (13 task orders), and Alliant II (5 task orders), positioning Aforge within GSA's OASIS family for professional services work. The vendor holds a named subsidiary, Applied Forge Defense LLC, structured as a service-disabled veteran-owned small business joint venture. Award concentration by NAICS spans Engineering Services (18 awards), Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences excluding Biotechnology (16 awards), and Computer Systems Design Services (5 awards).
