Nashville is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, and its public spending is growing with it. Metro Nashville government, the airport, WeGo transit, Metro schools and State of Tennessee agencies headquartered in Nashville buy year-round. Memphis, Knoxville and Chattanooga, along with federal facilities such as Oak Ridge and Fort Campbell, add significant opportunity.
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 State of Tennessee supplier portal, where vendors register to receive state bids.
- Go-DBE certification through the Governor’s Office of Diversity Business Enterprise for minority-, women-, veteran- and disability-owned and small businesses.
- Metro Nashville government and its procurement and inclusion programs.
- Federal and Department of Energy work across the state.
What GERC handles for you
- Tennessee supplier registration
- Go-DBE certification file preparation
- Metro Nashville and county vendor registration
- SAM.gov registration and UEI validation for federal work
- Capability statements and proposal and RFP writing built around evaluation criteria
- Grant writing for nonprofits and public agencies
Why hands-on support wins
Fast-growing cities create new solicitations every month. We keep you registered, certified and ready to respond.
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.
