Forgeline Solutions, Inc.

Forgeline Solutions, Inc., operating through its Lost Arrow, Inc. division and doing business as Lost Arrow Project, manufactures specialized military clothing and advanced soldier system equipment as a prime contractor (92% of recent awards) across the Department of Defense, competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations. The Carpinteria, California-based for-profit manufacturer holds a single-award blanket purchase agreement ceiling of $225.4 million under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, with primary performance conducted in Lexington, Kentucky and Natick, Massachusetts.

Forgeline's customer concentration is heavily tilted toward Army special operations and equipment requirements. The top two funding agencies account for over 99% of combined potential value: the Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command (59 awards, $351.9 million combined potential value) anchors the portfolio, followed at a distant second by the Department of the Army Materiel Command Sustainment Command (1 award, $150 million). The remaining customer agencies—Department of the Army (8 awards, $11.5 million), GSA Federal Acquisition Service (1 award, $3 million), and the Department of the Air Force Air National Guard (1 award, $1.3 million)—comprise minimal volume and dollars. This concentration reflects Forgeline's specialization in supplying Special Operations Forces across Navy SEALs, Army Special Forces, Air Force Special Operations Command, and Marine Corps Special Operations Command.

The capability portfolio centers on extreme weather gear, multi-season combat uniforms, protective equipment, specialized clothing systems, survival support systems, and advanced soldier system prototyping and research and development services. Representative recent work includes an $8.67 million firm fixed-price BPA call (December 2024) for Army Special Operations Command material acquisition and logistics support systems; a $4.93 million BPA call (December 2024) for Air Force Special Operations Command and Naval Special Warfare clothing and equipment systems; a $7.24 million delivery order (January 2024) for Special Forces equipment; and a $35.8 million delivery order (July 2023, MARS FY23 PLUS UP) for specialized clothing and soldier system support, all under the GSA MAS vehicle. Work spans multiple special operations units and includes explosive ordnance disposal support ($1.58 million BPA call, September 2024).

Forgeline's primary vehicle is the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, under which 70 task orders carry $539.5 million in combined potential value. The company also operates under the Law Enforcement & Security Services vehicle (7 task orders, $9.6 million combined potential value), the Special Operations Equipment Tailored Logistics Support vehicle (5 task orders), and ASTRO (1 task order). Activity has remained consistent—13 awards in 2022, 8 in 2023, 12 in 2024, and 12 in 2025—with five awards in the first half of 2026. Twelve awards (combined potential value $26.7 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will require recompete.

In its subcontractor role, Forgeline delivers clothing and cut-and-sew manufacturing to Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. on multiple orders (foul weather jackets, wool layers, combat pants, and arctic parka prototypes); it also subbids to Booz Allen Hamilton on engineering development and technology-based solutions work. The vendor's NAICS footprint is concentrated in apparel accessories and other apparel manufacturing (72 awards) with ancillary work in miscellaneous manufacturing and research and development. Its product service code concentration tracks similarly: clothing special purpose (50 awards), individual equipment (13 awards), and men's outerwear (8 awards).
