Gelco S.P.A.

Gelco S.P.A., a foreign-owned Italian manufacturer of advanced aerospace and defense components, operates exclusively as a subcontractor to U.S. primes on Department of the Navy missile and electronic systems programs, with no direct federal prime awards in its recent footprint. Based in Viterbo, Italy, Gelco manufactures guided missiles, missile spares, and anti-radiation guided missile test assets for software-in-the-loop air force upgrades under a single prime relationship with Alliant Techsystems Operations LLC.

Gelco's entire active federal footprint consists of three subcontract awards obligating $1.4 million combined, all placed by Alliant Techsystems and all flowing to the Department of the Navy's Naval Air Systems Command and Naval Air Warfare Center. The awards include a January 2024 exercise of missile products spares CLINs, an October 2024 exercise and plus-up of the same spares CLINs, and a September 2025 procurement of advanced anti-radiation guided missile-extended range test assets supporting air force software-in-the-loop upgrades. All three sub awards sit under Indefinite Delivery Contract N6893620D0024. Activity is minimal and declining — two awards in 2024, one in 2025 — with no indicated pipeline or recompete exposure. Gelco's capability profile is narrow and Alliant-dependent: the vendor supplies guided missile manufacturing and missile spares under the primary NAICS of guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing (two awards) and engineering services (one award). There is no evidence of diversification beyond the Alliant relationship, no presence on government-wide vehicles, and no sub-award work with other primes. The vendor's foreign corporate structure and goods-manufacturing posture position it as a component supplier rather than a systems integrator or service provider, limiting its relevance to federal IT, professional services, or broadly scoped program management pursuits.
