GFI Inc.

GFI Inc., a woman-owned, Hispanic American-owned small business manufacturer based in Harrison, Arkansas, supplies specialized mechanical components and fabricated goods to Defense Department agencies and related federal customers as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under small business set-asides (Total Small Business) and full-and-open procurements. The company manufactures precision parts including sleeve bushings, mounting plates, runners, and related mechanical and fabricated nonmetallic materials; recent work spans purchase orders from the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, the Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center, and the Department of Defense's Land and Maritime operation.

GFI's customer base concentrates on defense logistics and Army engineering operations. The top five customers by award count account for 71% of recent awards, led by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment (12 awards, $1.3 million combined potential value) and the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center (9 awards, $741 thousand combined potential value). The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, the Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration, and the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime round out the active set. The top-customers-by-potential-value ranking shows similar concentration, with DLA Troop Support and Army Corps of Engineers accounting for roughly $2.04 million of the $3.5 million combined portfolio value. Representative recent work includes a $305,391.36 Total Small Business purchase order from DLA Aviation (awarded April 14, 2026) for sleeve bushings with completion by September 10, 2026; a $65,462.60 Total Small Business order from DLA Aviation (July 30, 2025) for 749 units of precision sleeve bushings; and a $38,000 firm fixed-price order from Department of Defense Land and Maritime (July 25, 2025) for mounting plates. GFI has maintained continuous SAM.gov registration since February 2002 and has held federal awards dating to at least 2001, with particular activity concentration in small-value purchase orders ($1,000 to $305,000 range) supporting ongoing defense logistics and maintenance operations.

Activity is episodic — recent award volume shows 2 awards in 2024, 3 in 2025, and 2 in 2026 year-to-date — against a historical baseline of 1 to 2 awards per year. Only one award ($305 thousand) carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. GFI operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data. The vendor's NAICS and PSC concentration reflects its manufacturing posture: All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing (11 awards), Laminated Plastics and Plastics Fabrication (13 combined awards), and Hardware Manufacturing (4 awards) dominate the category mix, with nonwood construction lumber and related materials, plastics, and hardware emerging as recurrent PSC categories.

GFI Inc is a 'world market leader' in manufacturing ground stabilizing matting systems such as Fiber Reinforced Polymer Mats systems (FRP), Airfield Damage Repair (ADR), Rapid runway repair kits, Multipurpose mats, capable of handling military aircraft and other heavy vehicles. Bushings and any other hardware related to the FRP mat systems.
