GL Power, Inc.

GL Power, Inc., a Madison, Ohio-based small business, supplies marine propulsion system components, vehicular transmission and drivetrain parts, and equipment overhaul services to federal maritime and defense agencies as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards), predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides across purchase orders and delivery orders against indefinite delivery contracts. The company is structured as a for-profit corporate entity with a subsidiary, Great Lakes Power Service Company, operating under the same operational footprint.

GL Power's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward maritime agencies. The top five funding customers account for 92% of combined potential value, led overwhelmingly by the U.S. Coast Guard (36 awards, $3.9 million combined potential value), followed at significant distance by the Defense Logistics Agency's Land and Maritime division (15 awards, $646 thousand), the Naval Supply Systems Command (9 awards, $155 thousand), and Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center (8 awards, $127 thousand). The GSA Federal Acquisition Service accounts for one award carrying $4 million in potential value, which represents an outlier from GL Power's typical customer profile and skews the potential-value rankings. By award count, the Coast Guard dominates by a factor of 2.4 times the next-largest customer; by dollars, the Coast Guard's concentration is similarly pronounced at 39% of combined potential value, though the single GSA award inflates the federal acquisition service position in the potential-value ranking.

GL Power holds two single-award indefinite delivery contracts with the Coast Guard, each running through mid-2027 and beyond. The primary vehicle is a $833,565.04 requirements contract awarded August 18, 2025, for overhaul of Hamilton Jet Drives (Models HJ213 and HJ292) on USCG Cutter Boat platforms, set aside for Total Small Business and running through July 31, 2030, with performance at Curtis Bay, Baltimore, Maryland. A second contract, valued at $564,013.48 and awarded September 28, 2022, covers supply of overhauled and new Twin Disc marine reduction gears (models MG-507A1 and MG-5114SC) with performance in Mentor, Ohio and completion through September 27, 2027. The Defense Logistics Agency's Land and Maritime division issues routine purchase orders for vehicular clutch disks and transmission components under no set-aside designation; recent awards include a $136,956.20 order for 691 clutch disk units (November 2025) and a $146,709 order for nine mechanical transmission units designated as MG-5075-SC reductions gears (August 2025). Representative Coast Guard delivery orders pulled from the Hamilton Jet Drive IDIQ include a $185,536.31 modification for overhaul of eight Hamilton Jet Drives (HJ-213 and HJ-292 models, January 2026) and a $102,846.64 call for overhaul of seven Hamilton Jet jet drives (May 2026). Twin Disc reduction gear work flowing from the second Coast Guard IDIQ includes a $178,084.03 delivery order for gear overhaul and serial number assignment (June 2026) and a $161,297.57 order for overhaul of nine Twin Disc reduction gears (May 2026). Naval Supply Systems Command orders span non-vehicular axle repairs and supplies; a $94,616.30 purchase order for ten axle units (January 2025) and a $19,051.40 order for vehicular axle disassembly, inspection, and repair services (March 2025) exemplify work flowing through that channel. GL Power's capability mix is grounded in marine transmission, jet drive, and reduction gear overhaul labor, combined with supply of replacement transmission units, clutch assemblies, fluid filters, cylinders, and pumps serving federal vessel maintenance and repair operations.

Activity has accelerated in recent years, rising from seven awards each in 2022 and 2023 to twenty-one in 2025 and twelve so far in 2026. Six awards with combined potential value of $553 thousand face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure. GL Power subcontracts minimally; the vendor carries one sub-award as a parts supplier to Bowhead Marine Support Services, LLC on a Department of Defense international logistics requirement for pistons, cylinders, seals, and kits destined for Kuwait and Israel under IDIQ N00024-23-D-4116. The vendor's award portfolio spans 103 distinct transactions across 27 federal agencies, though the distribution is heavily skewed: the Coast Guard and DLA account for approximately 50% of awards by count. NAICS concentration centers on mechanical power transmission equipment manufacturing (30 awards), ship building and repairing (17 awards), and commercial and industrial machinery repair and maintenance (14 awards), with PSC coding weighted toward ship and marine equipment maintenance and repair (22 awards) and vehicular power transmission components (7 awards).
