Gordon, Bruce, doing business as Gordon Form Tools, is a small for-profit sole proprietorship manufacturing business located in Los Alamitos, California. The company specializes in precision-machined mechanical components and hardware for defense applications. Registered in the System for Award Management since February 2018 with a current registration expiration date of February 20, 2026, Gordon Form Tools has established itself as a reliable supplier to the federal government, particularly the U.S. Department of Defense. The company competes in the open market for contracts and has not utilized any federal contract vehicles or obtained prime contract awards through set-aside designations.

Gordon Form Tools has received over 50 prime federal contract awards from the Defense Logistics Agency since February 2020, generating a robust portfolio of purchase orders across multiple DLA divisions including Aviation, Land and Maritime, and Troop Support Hardware. The company manufactures a diverse range of specialized mechanical components essential to military logistics and equipment maintenance, including pins (shoulder, straight, grooved, and headed variants), shafts (shouldered, straight, overspeed brake, steering column, and pivot configurations), actuators (piston linear and arm switch), cylinders (sleeves and actuating), brackets (mounting, vehicular, output wave, and weapon adapter rails), levers (manual control and override), and numerous other intricate metal parts such as sleeves, rods, clevis assemblies, spacers, plungers, covers, guides, cams, slides, axles, and connectors. Contract values typically range from several hundred to several thousand dollars per order, with individual awards ranging from $424 to $7,474. All contract awards have been firm fixed-price purchase orders without set-aside designations, indicating Gordon Form Tools competed successfully in the open market against other qualified suppliers. The funding federal agency for all awards has been the Defense Logistics Agency, which channels appropriations through its Aviation, Land and Maritime, and Hardware divisions to procure parts critical to maintaining operational readiness of U.S. military ground vehicles, aircraft, and maritime operations. Gordon Form Tools serves as the prime contractor on all awards with no subcontractors listed, performing all work at its Los Alamitos facility. Performance periods typically range from two to twelve months, demonstrating the company's consistent capacity to deliver precision-manufactured components within compressed timeframes to support military logistics supply chains.
