Gary Lynn Combs

Gary Lynn Combs, doing business as GL Combs Investigations, is a small business sole proprietorship registered in SAM.gov since 2010, specializing in background investigative services for federal government agencies. Located in Cullman, Alabama, the company provides critical investigative support to help federal agencies conduct comprehensive background checks and security clearance determinations for employees and contractors. The business operates as a for-profit organization with a focused expertise in detailed personal background investigations and field investigative services.

GL Combs Investigations has been awarded federal contracts primarily in the investigative services sector, with specific focus on background check and investigative support for agencies like the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Department of State's Bureau of Diplomatic Security. The company has received multiple small business set-aside contracts for field and background investigative services, including specific delivery orders with values ranging from $13,010 to $25,773 for background investigations. These contracts involve conducting National Agency Checks, Minimum Background Investigations, Standard Background Investigations, and Single Scope Background Investigations to support security clearance and suitability determinations for government personnel.

The company holds two significant federal contract Indefinite Delivery Vehicles (IDVs): a Basic Ordering Agreement with ATF valued at $600,000 and a Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of State's Bureau of Diplomatic Security valued at $700,000. Both IDVs have performance periods extending through 2030 and are designed to provide flexible task order mechanisms for background investigative services. These agreements allow GL Combs Investigations to perform comprehensive investigative work across multiple federal agencies, with specific requirements including proximity to priority cities, obtaining high-level background investigation certifications, and completing agency-specific training protocols. The IDVs enable the company to support critical government security assessment needs through pre-negotiated, firm-fixed-price task order arrangements.
