Dallas–Fort Worth is one of the largest metro economies in the country, and its public buyers never stop. The City of Dallas, the City of Fort Worth, Dallas and Tarrant counties, DFW International Airport, DART, school districts and fast-growing suburbs such as Arlington, Plano, Irving and Frisco release bids year-round. Defense and aerospace work around Fort Worth adds a strong federal market.
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
- Texas state agencies posting on the Electronic State Business Daily (ESBD), with vendors listed on the Centralized Master Bidders List (CMBL).
- The North Central Texas Regional Certification Agency (NCTRCA), which certifies M/WBE, SBE and DBE firms for many North Texas public entities.
- Texas HUB certification, used by state agencies and primes to meet participation goals.
- Cities, counties, DFW Airport and DART, each with its own vendor registration.
- Federal agencies and defense primes across the Metroplex.

Why hands-on support wins
Public buyers in North Texas often score participation plans and require detailed certification paperwork. We prepare and check every document so your bid is complete and responsive. See also our Texas government contracting guide.
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.
