Kansas City straddles Missouri and Kansas, which gives local businesses two state markets, dozens of cities and counties, and one of the largest federal workforces outside Washington. Federal regional offices, the National Nuclear Security Administration’s Kansas City National Security Campus, and Fort Leavenworth nearby drive federal demand, while Kansas City, Missouri, Kansas City, Kansas, Jackson and Johnson counties, the airport and transit authority buy year-round.
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
- MissouriBUYS, the State of Missouri’s procurement system.
- Missouri MBE/WBE certification through the state’s Office of Equal Opportunity.
- The City of Kansas City, Missouri, which certifies minority- and women-owned businesses for City contracts.
- Kansas state and local agencies across the state line.
- Federal and national security buyers across the metro area.
What GERC handles for you

Why hands-on support wins
Two states means two sets of rules. We handle both so you can bid on either side of the state line. See our Missouri and Kansas consultant pages.
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.
