GM Defense LLC

GM Defense LLC, a General Motors subsidiary based in Concord, North Carolina, manufactures specialized military and government vehicle components and subassemblies as a full-and-open prime contractor, with no SBA set-asides across its federal footprint. The company competes exclusively on unrestricted basis and holds no small business designations.

GM Defense's federal work centers on vehicle components sourced through Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) supply contracts — electrical systems, brackets, fasteners, hoses, wiring harnesses, structural elements, and subsystems such as steering gears, shock absorbers, mirrors, fenders, and dashboard panels. The company supplies primarily to DLA Land and Maritime (148 awards, $1.1 million combined potential value), with secondary volume through DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (28 awards, $45 thousand) and DLA Aviation (20 awards, $24 thousand). Representative recent work includes a $20,221 order for vehicular windows from DLA Land and Maritime (Dec 9, 2025), a $15,839 steering gear delivery (Aug 4, 2025), and a $12,640 electrical wire procurement (Nov 5, 2025). All work performs at Concord, North Carolina.

The portfolio reflects transactional, component-level supply work rather than systems integration or platform development. Nearly all awards are purchase orders (firm fixed-price, no set-asides) with ceiling values under $25,000, clustered in six NAICS codes: miscellaneous fabricated metal products (27 awards), electrical equipment manufacturing (26 awards), hardware manufacturing (23 awards), commercial machinery manufacturing (16 awards), specialty transformer manufacturing (13 awards), and related industrial categories. Corresponding PSC concentration runs across vehicular structural components (27 awards), electrical lights and fixtures (26 awards), miscellaneous vehicular components (24 awards), commercial hardware (23 awards), and vehicular furniture (13 awards).

Activity has grown from 94 awards in 2025 to 102 in 2026, yielding 196 cumulative awards with combined potential value of $1.1 million and $442 thousand in obligated dollars. The award stream carries minimal recompete pressure — only one award (ceiling $850) completes within the next twenty-four months. Two single-award IDIQs with DLA Land and Maritime carry $350,000 ceilings each, issued January 22 and February 23, 2026, with completion dates in February 2026; the January award targets metal molding components with approximately one order per year and a one-year term. The February award's scope is not detailed in the source.

GM Defense operates entirely as a prime on these DLA supply contracts and carries zero subcontract exposure in the source data. The parent company is General Motors Holdings LLC, Detroit, Michigan.
