Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation

Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Government Contracts Division, a subsidiary of General Dynamics, operates as a prime contractor delivering aircraft maintenance, repair, overhaul, engineering services, and contractor logistics support for military and civilian federal agencies. The division competes on full-and-open procurement with no set-aside designations across its entire footprint, reflecting its scale and market position as the original equipment manufacturer of C-20 and C-37 business jet variants adapted for Air Force executive transport and special mission operations.

Gulfstream's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Air Force logistics and sustainment work. The top five funding agencies account for 64% of awards by count and 99% of combined potential value. The Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex anchors the portfolio with 152 awards valued at $13.34 billion in combined potential value—dominated by the $9.991 billion single-award Contractor Logistics Support IDC through January 31, 2032, which provides comprehensive C-20/C-37 maintenance, repair, overhaul, parts provisioning, and technical engineering across the Air Force and supporting military branches. The Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Tinker Air Force Base follows with 269 awards valued at $2.88 billion, also primarily C-20/C-37 sustainment work. The Coast Guard, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and Naval Air Systems Command round out the active set with $305.3 million, $279.1 million, and $159.7 million in combined potential value respectively. Gulfstream also holds a $15 million single-award IDC with a civilian federal agency through October 31, 2028, for Gulfstream 550 maintenance, a $481,800 IDC with Franchise Acquisition Services through June 2030 for FAA training on aircraft oversight, and a $6 million IDC with NOAA for Gulfstream IV-SP maintenance. All contracts are structured on firm fixed-price delivery order mechanisms.

Activity has grown consistently—48 awards in 2022 to 76 in 2025—with 35 awards valued at $633.6 million reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. The top three parent vehicles collectively account for substantial task order volume: Indefinite Delivery Contract FA810618D0002 carries 172 task orders valued at $593 million, F3365702D2011 spans 156 task orders valued at $501.7 million, and FA810613D0002 covers 122 task orders valued at $505.2 million. The C-20/C-37 work is distributed across multiple Air Force control points and agencies—Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Tinker, Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex, Naval Air Systems Command, Marine Corps, Navy Reserve, Naval Air Warfare Center, and Army—with individual delivery orders ranging from under $20,000 to $50.96 million for large fleet sustainment efforts.

Recent representative prime work includes a $187.6 million definitive contract from the Coast Guard on October 17, 2025, for purchase of two fixed-wing aircraft under sole-source justification; a $50.96 million undefinitized delivery order from Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex on February 1, 2025, for C-20/C-37 contractor logistics support invoicing $33.7 million across 32.2 FTEs in FY2025; a $43.29 million undefinitized order from Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex on February 1, 2025, for C-37 fleet contractor logistics support with no subcontractor engagement; a $14.49 million delivery order from the Department of the Navy on February 1, 2024, for C-20/C-37 contractor logistics support with Rolls-Royce Deutschland performing engine maintenance; and a $1.74 billion delivery order from Naval Air Systems Command on July 31, 2025, for autonomous camera upgrade on Executive Lift C-37 aircraft.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue on prime contracts totaled $243.2 million across FY2022–FY2025, with FY2025 running at $63.6 million across 94.5 FTEs, representing a modest upward staffing trajectory from FY2023's low of 86.1 FTEs. Government-paid rates on SCI-reportable contracts run median around $282.76 per hour, with senior labor pricing through $862.16 per hour and junior positions near $196.60 per hour. Gulfstream self-performs all reported labor on SCI-reportable service contracts—0% subcontractor hours across the SCI footprint—underscoring the division's direct execution posture on core C-20/C-37 logistics support. When the company subcontracts, it engages specialized suppliers: Rolls-Royce Deutschland provides engine maintenance and support; L3Harris Technologies and BAE Systems contribute avionics, communications system integration, and electronic systems; Valkyrie Enterprises and Mantech provide specialized technical services on Big Safari and other Air Force programs. Across the broader award portfolio, Gulfstream holds a 94% prime-to-6% sub split, reflecting its dominant role as the original equipment manufacturer rather than a feeder subcontractor.

The division's capability footprint concentrates on military business jet sustainment: C-20/C-37 contractor logistics support (depot maintenance, parts provisioning, technical engineering), aircraft modifications (Starshield system installations, Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System upgrades, autonomous camera systems), technical training for FAA personnel on aircraft certification and maintenance processes, maintenance library subscriptions and continuous maintenance program renewals, and charter flight services. Recent coat-hanger work includes Big Safari aircraft modifications and component manufacturing subcontracted to L3Harris and BAE Systems, and NASA contracted work on G-4 electric loads analysis and technical manuals for research aircraft platforms. Gulfstream operates primarily from Savannah, Georgia, with satellite performance locations at Sauget, Illinois; Tampa, Florida; and Westfield, Massachusetts.
