Raymond C G.orman JR.

Gorman Software, operating as a sole proprietorship under the individual name Raymond C G.orman JR., provides specialized Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and database software support and maintenance services to the federal government exclusively as a prime contractor on firm-fixed-price purchase orders, with no subcontract or team engagements in recent federal work.

The vendor's footprint is narrow and specialized. Gorman Software operates from Prairie Village, Kansas, and competes in the full-and-open market without set-aside designations. The company's entire federal customer base consists of a single agency: the Department of the Navy's Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center (NAVAIR), which accounts for all five recent prime awards totaling $498 thousand in combined potential value. The vendor's work centers on the ARAS (proprietary designation) database and PLM software ecosystem — specifically subscription renewals, application support, custom database configuration, and maintenance services for systems originally developed by Gorman Software itself. Four of the five awards fall under the NAICS Software Publishers category; one touches IT strategy and architecture. Three of the four recent awards carry sole-source justifications, with NAVAIR citing Gorman Software as the original developer and sole authorized vendor for configuration and maintenance of the custom ARAS system currently deployed in their operations.

Gorman Software's award activity has been episodic across the 2019–2026 period — one award in 2019, a two-year gap, two awards in 2023, one in 2024, and one in June 2026. The most recent award (June 15, 2026, valued at $84 thousand for ARAS subscription services with completion dated April 14, 2027) accounts for the company's only recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months. The vendor has no other named customer agencies, parent vehicles, or subcontract partnerships in the source data. Gorman Software's business model depends entirely on NAVAIR's continued use and renewal of the ARAS platform and Gorman's position as its sole maintainer.
