Gc&E Federal, LLC

Gc&E Federal, LLC, an SBA 8(a)-certified Alaska Native Corporation-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Norcross, Georgia, delivers federal cabling, telecommunications infrastructure, and IT systems integration services as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards), with concentration in Army Cyber Command installations and recent expansion into broader federal IT and defense-systems work through newly awarded government-wide and multi-agency contract vehicles.

Gc&E Federal is a child entity of Bristol Bay Services, LLC, itself an Alaska Native Corporation-owned firm. The vendor competes predominantly under 8(a) sole-source and competitive 8(a) set-asides across its core Army business, and holds positions on multiple government-wide vehicles open to full-and-open competition. Recent SCI-reportable service-contract invoicing reached $12 million in FY2025 across 21.4 FTEs, up from $2 million and 3.9 FTEs in FY2024, with median government-paid hourly rates running around $256.89 per hour on prime contracts; the vendor subcontracts an average of 79 percent of labor hours, operating as a systems integrator rather than a direct-labor provider.

Customer concentration is acute. Army Cyber Command accounts for 70 awards (78% of recent award count) valued at $1.05 billion combined potential value, anchoring the portfolio with cabling installation, outside-plant fiber optic work, network infrastructure support, and IT portfolio sustainment across Fort Gordon, Fort Eisenhower, Fort Jackson, Fort Bliss, and Dugway Proving Ground. The second-largest customer by potential value is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration—not by order count but by vehicle ceiling: Gc&E Federal was added to the SEWP VI multiple-award GWAC on November 1, 2026, with a $20 billion ceiling, though no task orders have been issued as of the source date. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ranks second by active invoiced dollars and upcoming deliverables: two cancer surveillance informatics system contracts totaling $51 million potential value, including a $24.7 million 8(a) sole-source definitive contract awarded September 20, 2026, running through September 19, 2028, with SCI-reported invoicing of $12 million in FY2025 at a median rate of $268.84 per hour and 71 percent sub-hours share across two named subcontractors.

Vehicle holdings span four major IDVs and GWACs. The largest by task-order volume is an indefinite delivery contract (W9124921D0003) with Army Cyber Command carrying 62 delivery orders and $5 million combined potential value—the backbone of the Army cabling business. Gc&E Federal holds a single-award $19.49 million 8(a) sole-source indefinite delivery vehicle with Army Cyber Command (expiring August 19, 2026) that procures specialized cabling and network infrastructure support to Army Cyber Command, Army Medical Command, and Army Materiel Command. The $990 million Information Management Communications Services IV (IMCS IV) multiple-award vehicle set aside for total small business (awarded June 18, 2023, through June 17, 2028) carries 2 task orders valued at $6.7 million and $2,500 for infrastructure operations and maintenance across Fort Jackson and Fort Huachuca. On April 16, 2025, Gc&E Federal was awarded a position on the OASIS+ 8(a) multiple-award IDIQ under competitive 8(a) set-aside with a $999,999,999,999 ceiling (placeholder, indicating no specified cap) running through April 15, 2030. The Missile Defense Agency's Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ, a $151 billion vehicle awarded December 29, 2025, through December 28, 2035, under full-and-open competition with no set-aside, issued its initial $500 task order to Gc&E Federal on the same date, representing entry into defense advanced-systems procurement spanning R&D, prototyping, systems engineering, cybersecurity, and modernization across classified and unclassified work.

Activity has contracted in award count but expanded in vehicle ceiling value. Prime awards per year peaked at 23 in 2022 and declined to 9 in 2026 year-to-date, while the combined potential value of recent awards sits at $21.12 billion, heavily weighted by the NASA SEWP VI and MDA SHIELD vehicle ceilings; only $71.5 million has been obligated to date. Four awards carrying $27.1 million combined potential value reach ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, creating near-term recompete risk for Army cabling delivery orders and a critical refresh window for the $19.49 million single-award cabling IDV expiring August 19, 2026.

Gc&E Federal operates as a teaming partner and subcontractor in limited roles. Three sub-awards show engagement with Microtechnologies LLC (managed telecommunications services), STS Government Solutions, LLC (video teleconference installation), and an unnamed Air Force prime (VTC operations support). Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the vendor names six total subcontractors and consistently subcontracts 71 to 86 percent of labor hours, indicating reliance on a multi-vendor infrastructure and services supply chain rather than organic delivery. The vendor's NAICS footprint spans electrical contractors (64 awards), computer facilities management (7 awards), wired telecommunications carriers (4 awards), and computer systems design (4 awards), with PSC concentration in IT and telecommunications network support services labor (75 awards). Gc&E Federal competes predominantly for cabling, telecommunications, and IT infrastructure task orders under Army Cyber Command vehicles and has broadened competitive reach through government-wide GWAC and defense-systems IDIQ positions since mid-2025.
