About BigOne Platforms
Built for operators,
by operators.
BigOne Platforms is the defense logistics readiness ecosystem — FORGE for intelligence, Trace for visibility, FORCE for compliance. Tampa-based. GovCloud-native. Built because the operators closest to the work had no tools worthy of it.
Why We Exist
The operators closest to the work had no tools worthy of it.
The largest defense contractors in the world execute the most complex sustainment operations on the planet — on spreadsheets, paper hand receipts, and ERP systems that were not designed for theater logistics in contested environments.
BigOne Platforms exists to fix that. One ecosystem. Three pillars. Built by people who have executed task orders, not just read PWSs.
Founder
Chris Duncan
Founder & CEO of BigOne Platforms. Founder of BigForgeOne LLC, the defense subsidiary that owns FORGE, Trace, and FORCE intellectual property.
Operates the company hands-on as a technical founder. Personally takes every partnership briefing. Sets the engineering direction, the security posture, and the product roadmap across all three pillars.
Background details and prior operational context shared in briefings under NDA.
Corporate Structure
Two legal entities. One ecosystem.
Corporate structure intentionally designed for the defense market. Defense IP and CUI handling are isolated in a separate entity to support GovCloud access requirements and future clearance needs.
Parent Company
BigOne Platforms LLC
Parent holding entity. Owns the bigoneplatforms.com marketing surface and shared infrastructure. Operating address: Tampa, FL.
Defense Subsidiary
BigForgeOne LLC
Separate legal entity that owns all FORGE, Trace, and FORCE intellectual property and handles Controlled Unclassified Information. AWS GovCloud accounts, defense contracts, and SOFGLAS subcontract relationships are held under BigForgeOne LLC. This separation maintains a clean boundary between commercial and government operations and positions the entity correctly for future CAGE code, SAM.gov registration, and clearance requirements.
SOFGLAS Positioning
Tampa-based. Subcontractor technology layer. SOF Week annually.
FORGE is positioned as a SOFGLAS subcontractor technology layer with Fluor as prime. Tampa headquarters places the team within driving distance of SOCOM, CENTCOM, and USFF stakeholders. We are present at SOF Week annually.
