Florida is one of the fastest-growing public contracting markets in the country. Military installations in Jacksonville, Tampa, Pensacola and the Space Coast drive federal demand, while state agencies, large counties such as Miami-Dade, Broward, Hillsborough and Orange, and major transportation projects generate a constant stream of state and local bids.
GERC helps Florida businesses get ready and get competitive. Our model is hands-on: we complete the filings and write the proposals with you.
Florida’s main contracting channels
- MyFloridaMarketplace, the state’s vendor registration and e-procurement system.
- Office of Supplier Diversity (OSD) certification for minority-, women- and veteran-owned businesses.
- FDOT and transit work with DBE participation goals on federally funded projects.
- Federal agencies and defense bases across the state.
- Counties, cities, school districts and ports with their own vendor portals.
What GERC does for Florida clients

- County and city vendor registration
- Capability statements and RFP responses
- Grant writing for nonprofits, including resilience and infrastructure funding
Why hands-on support pays off
Florida’s buyers move fast, and deadlines are tight. A business that is already registered, certified and ready with a strong capability statement can respond the week a solicitation drops. We build that readiness for you and help you respond to the bids that fit.

Our process
- Honest assessment of fit.
- We prepare and submit registrations, certifications and proposals.
- 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.
