Georgia has become one of the most active government contracting markets in the Southeast. Atlanta hosts the CDC, a major federal regional presence and one of the world’s busiest airports, while military installations such as Fort Benning, Fort Stewart, Robins Air Force Base and Kings Bay drive defense demand across the state.
GERC helps Georgia businesses compete for federal, state and local work. We complete the filings and write the responses, so you are not left with a to-do list.

- The City of Atlanta, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and MARTA, which run their own procurement and diversity programs.

Why hands-on support works
Many Georgia business owners know they qualify for government work but never find the time to finish the registrations and certifications. We remove that bottleneck. Once you are registered and certified, we help you find and respond to the bids that match your strengths.
Our process
- An honest assessment on the first call.
- We prepare and submit everything needed to compete.
- 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.
GERC is led by Dr. Shirley Ayangbah, a PhD legal and political economist, and serves clients nationwide and worldwide. See our Atlanta government contracting consultant page or book a strategy consultation.
