New Mexico punches above its weight in government contracting. Kirtland Air Force Base, Sandia National Laboratories and Los Alamos National Laboratory make it a major federal and national security market. The State of New Mexico, the City of Albuquerque, Bernalillo County, the Albuquerque International Sunport and school districts buy year-round.
GERC helps businesses compete for that work. We don’t hand you a to-do list. We complete the filings, write the documents and submit them with you.
Where the opportunities come from
- The New Mexico General Services Department State Purchasing Division, where state solicitations are posted.
- Resident business and resident veteran business preference certificates, issued through the New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department.
- The City of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County, each with its own vendor registration.
- Federal labs and defense buyers, including Kirtland, Sandia and Los Alamos and their primes.
What GERC handles for you
- New Mexico state vendor registration
- Resident business and resident veteran preference certificate applications
- Federal certifications including 8(a), WOSB, HUBZone and DBE
- SAM.gov registration and UEI validation for federal work
- Capability statements and proposal and RFP writing built around evaluation criteria
- Feasibility studies and economic analysis
Why hands-on support wins
National labs and their primes have strict small business subcontracting goals. Being registered and certified makes you easier to find and easier to use. For statewide details, see our New Mexico government contracting consultant page.
Our process
- An honest assessment. On the first call we tell you whether government work is realistic for your business right now and which opportunities are worth pursuing.
- We prepare and submit. Registrations, certification files, capability statements and proposals, each checked against the agency’s current rules before it goes out.
- We stay with you until your registration or certification is approved, and through every bid until the award decision is in. That includes answering agency questions, handling resubmissions, renewals and compliance.
