Gregory C Forbes

Gregory C Forbes, doing business as Gregory C Forbes Aviation, is a sole proprietorship manufacturer of aircraft components and assemblies that operates as a small business prime contractor on Department of Defense aviation procurement, based in Diamond Springs, California. The company has received three federal awards since September 2025, all under the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), with no subcontract footprint and no participation in government-wide vehicles or IDIQs.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on aerospace manufacturing — specifically aircraft component production and testing. Representative work includes a $1.205 million firm fixed-price definitive contract awarded October 16, 2025, for quadrant assembly manufacturing under total small business set-aside, with performance through June 8, 2027; a $28,500 firm fixed-price purchase order awarded January 16, 2026, for government first article test of an initial production unit, with completion scheduled for July 20, 2027; and a $185 purchase order awarded September 8, 2025, for aircraft cotter pin supply. Work is performed at the contractor's Diamond Springs facility.

Customer concentration is entirely within the Defense Logistics Agency: DLA Aviation holds two awards worth $1.2 million combined (100% of potential value), and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment holds one award valued at $185. Top NAICS codes reflect the manufacturing footprint — Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing (2 awards) and Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (1 award). Award activity is nascent — two awards in 2025, one in 2026 — with both active production contracts (combined potential value $1.2 million) scheduled for completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore exposed to recompete in that window. The vendor does not appear on any federal IDIQs, GWACs, or agency-wide vehicles in the source data.
