This is the GERC capability statement, and you can verify our registration on SAM.gov. Global Economic Research Consulting (GERC) is a woman-owned research and government-contracting advisory firm in San Bernardino, California. We take small businesses, nonprofits and public agencies from unregistered to under contract, doing the hands-on work with them: completing registrations, preparing and submitting certification applications, writing the bids and grant proposals. That implementation rests on research, so clients know which opportunities are worth pursuing before they spend on one. Every engagement is led by Dr. Shirley Ayangbah, a PhD legal and political economist with 14+ years in international law and economics.

What sets GERC apart

  • We guide, advise — then do the work. GERC assembles the evidence, completes the filing and submits on the client’s behalf: registration through certification through bid. Clients are not handed a checklist.
  • Sustainable solutions, built to the client’s situation. Engagements are sequenced so eligibility holds — renewal dates, compliance calendars and size thresholds set at the outset, so certifications do not lapse between awards.
  • Research before pursuit. Feasibility and market analysis establish which opportunities are worth bidding before a client spends on one.
  • Principal-led, with the tools handed over. A PhD legal and political economist directs every engagement; custom Excel cost models and Power BI / Tableau dashboards are delivered for the client to own. ADA / Section 508-compliant formats, fixed fees quoted in writing.

Scope of services. GERC provides research, analysis, writing and procurement support. We are not a law firm, a CPA firm or an accredited CMMC assessor, we do not provide legal, tax or investment advice, and we do not sign or certify documents requiring a professional license. Where a licensed professional is required, we say so and work alongside the one you choose.
