Gummeson Consulting Inc.

Gummeson Consulting Inc., a for-profit manufacturer based in Fountain Valley, California, supplies specialized aircrew parachute equipment and delivers military tandem course training to the Department of the Air Force as a prime contractor, with 97% of recent awards in prime capacity and no recurring set-aside designations.

The vendor's customer base concentrates almost entirely within Air Force commands. The top five customer organizations account for 88% of recent awards by count, dominated by the Air Force Air National Guard (14 awards, $611 thousand combined potential value) and Air Force Air Combat Command (10 awards, $902 thousand combined potential value), with the Air Force Materiel Command Aeronautical Systems Center, Pacific Air Forces, and Space Command making up the remainder. The two rankings converge on Air Combat Command as the primary dollar anchor, though the Air National Guard carries the largest order count despite lower average award value.

Gummeson's capability footprint splits between equipment manufacturing and training delivery. On the manufacturing side, the vendor supplies G-TEC high-mount parachute harnesses and battlefield airman rapid refresh and replenishment (BARS) equipment — a $95,533 BARS harness purchase order from Aeronautical Systems Center (May 2023), a $183,890 battlefield airman rapid refresh stock harness delivery order from Air Combat Command (July 2022), and a $49,493 G-TEC harness delivery order from Aeronautical Systems Center (July 2022). On training, Gummeson delivered a $33,500 total small business set-aside military tandem course training contract to Air Force Test Center (March 2026) covering certified instructor-led tandem parachute training for military candidates at Perris Valley Drop Zone, California. The vendor also appears on one task order under the Special Operations Equipment — Tailored Logistics Support parent vehicle. Gummeson subcontracts to Atlantic Diving Supply as a provider of spider harness parachute equipment (awarded January 2024).

Recent activity has declined sharply — four awards in 2019, then one award each in 2023, 2024, and 2026 — leaving the vendor with sparse pipeline visibility. Combined potential value across all 33 awards totals $1.9 million, with obligated dollars at $2.1 million indicating over-obligation on small purchase orders. Top NAICS coding splits between textile product mills and schools and instruction, reflecting the equipment and training mix; top PSC codes align with parachutes, individual equipment, and education training categories.
