North Carolina is a growing public contracting market, led by Charlotte, Raleigh and the Research Triangle. The City of Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, Charlotte Douglas International Airport, CATS, state agencies and universities buy year-round, and major military installations such as Fort Bragg and Camp Lejeune create significant federal demand.
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 NC Electronic Vendor Portal (eVP), where state agencies post bids and vendors register.
- NC HUB certification through the state’s Office for Historically Underutilized Businesses.
- The City of Charlotte’s Charlotte Business INClusion program, which certifies and supports small, minority- and women-owned firms.
- Airports and transit with DBE goals, plus counties and school districts.
- Federal and defense work at installations across the state.
What GERC handles for you
- NC eVP vendor registration
- NC HUB and Charlotte Business INClusion certification file preparation
- Federal certifications including 8(a), WOSB, HUBZone and DBE
- SAM.gov registration and UEI validation for federal work

Why hands-on support wins
North Carolina buyers increasingly track participation and good-faith efforts. We prepare that documentation so your bid stays responsive.
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.
