About the company
Gem Defense Solutions LLC, a veteran-owned small disadvantaged business and sole proprietorship based in Norton Shores, Michigan, supplies hardwood lumber and wood products to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on small-business set-asides and full-and-open purchase orders. The vendor operates entirely as a prime — 29 awards across its portfolio carry no subcontract relationships — and competes across both Total Small Business and no-set-aside designations, though set-aside awards account for roughly 45% of recent prime activity by count.
The vendor's customer base is heavily concentrated with a single agency. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Joint Munitions Command accounts for 23 of 29 awards (79%) and $3.1 million of the $3.2 million combined potential value (97%). All other customers combined — the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R4-Intermountain Region, the Defense Logistics Agency Distribution, and subordinate commands within the Department of the Air Force — contribute $118 thousand across six awards. Gem Defense Solutions' primary end-use site is the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant in McAlester, Oklahoma, where the vendor supplies specification-compliant hardwood materials including beech, birch, hickory, oak, and white ash lumber in various dimensions (commonly 1"x6"x48", 1"x8"x40", 4"x3"x48") to support pallet manufacturing and ammunition-facility operations. Representative prime awards include a $249 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from Joint Munitions Command for mixed hardwood lumber (October 28, 2024; ultimate completion December 19, 2024), a $245 thousand order for untreated hardwood pallet lumber in specified dimensions (February 27, 2025; ultimate completion May 29, 2025), and a $158 thousand Total Small Business purchase order for hardwood lumber to build pallets (April 6, 2026; ultimate completion June 30, 2026).
Gem Defense Solutions places 12 task orders under a single Blanket Purchase Agreement (W52P1J19A3002) valued at $1.4 million combined. The vendor's capability portfolio is defined by NAICS classification: Cut Stock, Resawing Lumber, and Planing (14 awards), Sawmills (11 awards), and Wood Container and Pallet Manufacturing (1 award) dominate the footprint. PSC coding reflects the same posture, with Lumber and Related Basic Wood Materials accounting for 27 of 29 awards.
Award activity has declined measurably. The vendor received three awards per year in 2022 and 2023, two per year in 2024 and 2025, and one award in 2026 (as of April 6). All obligations have been fully drawn ($3.2 million combined potential value equals 100% obligated). No awards present in the source material extend beyond mid-2026; the vendor faces recompete exposure across most of its portfolio in the medium term, with particular recompete risk at Joint Munitions Command, where the next procurement cycle will likely determine the vendor's continued presence in this niche.
