Indianapolis is Indiana’s capital and largest city, which makes it the center of state purchasing. The State of Indiana, the City of Indianapolis and Marion County, IndyGo, the Indianapolis International Airport and school districts buy year-round. Federal operations such as DFAS Indianapolis and Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane in southern Indiana add strong 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 Indiana Department of Administration (IDOA), which manages state procurement and supplier registration.
- Indiana MBE, WBE and Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) certification, used for participation goals on state contracts.
- The City of Indianapolis, with its own minority-, women- and veteran-owned business program.
- Federal and defense buyers across the state.
What GERC handles for you
- IDOA supplier registration
- Indiana MBE/WBE/VOSB 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
Indiana agencies track participation closely. We prepare that documentation so your bid stays responsive. For statewide details, see our Indiana government contracting consultant page.
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.
