Phoenix is now one of the five largest cities in the United States, and growth brings public spending. The City of Phoenix, Maricopa County, Valley Metro, Sky Harbor Airport, school districts and the State of Arizona all buy construction, professional services and technology year-round. Military installations such as Luke Air Force Base, Davis-Monthan and Fort Huachuca add steady federal demand.
GERC helps Arizona businesses compete for that work. We complete the registrations and write the bids with you, hands-on.

Why hands-on support matters in a growth market
Fast-growing regions release new solicitations constantly, and the businesses that win are the ones already prepared. We get your registrations and certifications in place, build your capability statement, and help you respond to the opportunities that match your strengths.
Our process
- An 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.
