About the company
Gwo, Inc., an SBA 8(a)-certified economically disadvantaged women-owned small business (EDWOSB) headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, delivers construction and supply-support services to federal agencies as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under 8(a) sole-source and Total Small Business set-asides. The vendor is also certified as a women-owned small business (WOSB) and self-certified small disadvantaged business, with a subsidiary, Gwo-Gcc, LLC, structured as a joint-venture EDWOSB.
Gwo's recent capability portfolio spans infrastructure construction, utilities, and marine logistics. Representative work includes a $1.25 million 8(a) sole-source definitive contract awarded October 1, 2025, by Defense Logistics Agency Energy National Inventory Control Point Chicago for concrete foundation and pad construction supporting a 375 kVA standby generator installation in Chicago; a $605,465.75 Total Small Business purchase order from the U.S. Forest Service Region 9 (Eastern Region) awarded September 15, 2026, for culvert replacement and streambed restoration at Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie near Wilmington, Illinois; and a $684,630.50 8(a) sole-source definitive contract from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers awarded January 29, 2026, for dewatering supplies at the Illinois Waterway Lockport facility.
Customer concentration is narrow and agency-distributed across Army and USDA. The top three customer segments account for 100% of recent awards: the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (3 awards, $987 thousand combined potential value), the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Chicago (1 award, $1.3 million), and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 9–Eastern Region (1 award, $605 thousand). The vendor has not won seats on government-wide vehicles or BPAs; all five awards in the source are direct purchase orders or definitive contracts. Two awards ($1.9 million combined potential value) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating near-term recompete exposure. Gwo operates exclusively as a prime contractor; it holds no subcontract awards in the source data. The vendor's award activity shows recent momentum (two awards in 2025, three in 2026) across infrastructure and logistics categories, with work performed at Illinois and Iowa locations supporting Army Corps operations and USDA conservation missions.
