Gage Bilt, Inc.

Gage Bilt, Inc. manufactures precision pneumatic riveters, nose assembly fastener installation components, installation tool kits, and small machine shop services for federal agencies as a prime contractor competing in open competition (no set-aside designation across its prime footprint). The company is a for-profit manufacturer headquartered in Charter Township of Clinton, Michigan with a secondary facility in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and holds a General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule contract valued at $3.5 million through May 2027 that anchors the bulk of its federal delivery volume.

Gage Bilt's federal customer base is highly concentrated in GSA Federal Acquisition Service, which accounts for 320 awards and $9.4 million of combined potential value — representing roughly 66% of the vendor's $14.2 million total potential value across 1,523 prime awards. The top five customer agencies by potential value account for 72% of combined potential value and include the Department of the Army (three distinct commands: general Army, TACOM Life Cycle Management Command, and Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command), which collectively hold 303 awards totaling $590 thousand, and the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base with 141 awards valued at $162 thousand. Despite the wide customer dispersion across 67 distinct agencies, GSA dominates both in transaction count and dollar magnitude, and the ranking by award count and by potential value track closely — GSA leads on both metrics.

Gage Bilt's work is routed through multiple GSA vehicles: the Multiple Award Schedule itself (503 task orders, $1.5 million combined potential value), Indefinite Delivery Contract GS06FN0006 (108 task orders, $394 thousand), Blanket Purchase Agreement GS06F5GABT (60 task orders), and Blanket Purchase Agreement GS06F5GBPT (56 task orders). The company's product portfolio is categorized heavily under hand and edge tool manufacturing (817 awards) and power-driven handtool classification (960 awards by PSC), with representative work including a $70.8 thousand purchase order from Pacific Air Forces on September 30, 2025 for 51 MXS Huck riveter kits to support aircraft maintenance at Osan Air Base in South Korea; a $35.1 thousand total small business set-aside purchase order from Air Force Reserve Command on June 4, 2025 for rivet gun and nose assembly kits for Homestead Air Force Base; and multiple GSA delivery orders for pneumatic riveters ($19.1 thousand), installation tool kits ($14.8 thousand), and nose assembly fastener installations (ranging from $361 to $907) placed between 2021 and 2023.

Activity has declined materially over the past five years: 42 awards in 2021 contracted to 4 awards in 2024, with 6 awards recorded through November 2025. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data. Combined dollars obligated represent 42% of potential value ($5.9 million of $14.2 million), indicating many small orders on the GSA schedule remain unfilled or partially executed.
