Utah is one of the fastest-growing states in the country, and its public spending reflects that. The State of Utah, Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, the Utah Transit Authority, Salt Lake City International Airport, universities and school districts buy year-round. Hill Air Force Base in northern Utah is one of the largest employers in the state and a major source of defense contracts.
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.

Why hands-on support wins
Defense work at Hill Air Force Base rewards firms that are registered and certified before the opportunity appears. We get you ready. For statewide details, see our Utah 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.
