Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation

Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Government Contracts Division, a subsidiary of General Dynamics Corporation, provides aircraft maintenance, repair, overhaul, logistics support, and specialized modifications to military and civilian federal agencies as a prime contractor on its own account and under parent-company-coordinated delivery orders. Gulfstream competes full-and-open without set-aside designations across its footprint and operates from Savannah, Georgia as the original equipment manufacturer of C-20 and C-37 aircraft variants adapted for Air Force executive transport and special mission operations.

Gulfstream's federal work centers on contractor logistics support, depot maintenance, engineering services, and technical publications for military business jet platforms. The company delivered a $15.5 thousand purchase order from a civilian federal Shared Services Center in June 2026 for CMP.NET Large Cabin annual renewal services; a $1.28 million delivery order from Naval Air Systems Command in May 2026 for engineering services related to C-20/C-37 maintenance and support; and a $38.1 million delivery order from the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex in February 2026 for C-37 aircraft fleet contractor logistics support. A $183.6 million sole-source definitive contract from the U.S. Coast Guard in October 2025 for purchase of two fixed-wing aircraft with cyber security support represents the largest single award in the portfolio. Across SCI-reportable service contracts captured in the federal inventory above the $150 thousand threshold, Gulfstream invoiced $64.7 million in FY2024 across 90.4 FTEs, down slightly from $59.4 million across 97.4 FTEs in FY2022; median government-paid rates on prime service contracts run around $282.76 per hour, with senior labor pricing through $862 per hour, and Gulfstream self-performs all SCI-reportable hours with no subcontractor engagement on those contracts.

Customer concentration is acute. The Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex anchors 149 awards valued at $13.88 billion combined potential value (81% of the total portfolio), while the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Tinker Air Force Base accounts for 268 awards valued at $2.32 billion. These two customers alone represent 417 awards—roughly 36% of all awards in the source—and nearly $16.2 billion, or 94% of combined potential value. The Department of Homeland Security Coast Guard, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and Naval Air Systems Command round out the top five, with more modest exposure ($301.3 million, $278.7 million, and $168.1 million respectively). The concentration around the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex reflects Gulfstream's dominant position as the C-20/C-37 logistics support provider.

Gulfstream holds three primary indefinite delivery contracts. A $9.991 billion single-award IDC with the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex through January 31, 2032, is the company's flagship vehicle, providing comprehensive C-20/C-37 contractor logistics support services to the Air Force and supporting military branches; delivery orders under this vehicle have ranged from $15 thousand to $50.96 million and span maintenance, repair, overhaul, parts provisioning, and technical engineering. A $15 million single-award IDC with a civilian federal agency's Headquarters Division through October 31, 2028, covers Gulfstream 550 maintenance services performed in Tampa, Florida. A $481.8 thousand single-award IDC with Franchise Acquisition Services through June 14, 2030, provides training courses for FAA personnel on Gulfstream aircraft operations and maintenance. Two large AFLCMC indefinite delivery contracts for C-20/C-37 engineering services and electronic systems support generate the bulk of smaller task orders across Tinker AFB and Wright Patterson AFB.

Activity has grown modestly. Awards per year climbed from 48 in 2022 to 76 in 2025, with 32 awards year-to-date in 2026 (data current to June 2). Across the next twenty-four months, forty-two awards with ultimate completion dates carry combined potential value of $578.2 million, representing moderate recompete exposure concentrated in existing vehicles and customer relationships.

As a prime contractor, Gulfstream holds 94% of awards; the remaining 6% are sub-awards under BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration, L3Harris Technologies Integrated Systems, and smaller primes on BIG SAFARI and special aircraft modification programs. Gulfstream subcontracts engine maintenance to Rolls-Royce Deutschland on C-20/C-37 logistics orders and engages L3Harris and BAE Systems on specialized avionics and communications system integration work. The company does not function as a feeder to other primes; subcontracted work is ancillary to its core OEM-based aircraft support role.

The portfolio spans 34 distinct customer agencies but is operationally dominated by Air Force logistics and sustainment. NAICS concentration reflects the aircraft parts and support services footprint: Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (433 awards), Other Support Activities for Air Transportation (281 awards), and Aircraft Manufacturing (101 awards) account for most work. PSC coding mirrors that emphasis: maintenance and repair of aircraft and airframe structural components (554 awards) and aircraft fixed-wing platforms (251 awards) comprise the bulk of contract actions. Gulfstream's role as the original equipment manufacturer gives it structural advantage on C-20/C-37 work and insulates it from direct competition on logistics support where specialized technical knowledge and spare parts management are entry barriers.
