GERC provides school district vendor registration across California, plus registration with community colleges and transit agencies. Each agency keeps its own vendor list, so we register you where your buyers are.
The buyers most contractors never reach: districts, colleges and transit agencies, each with a vendor list of its own.
- Agencies: 10 included
- Extra agency: $299 each
- Agency fees: At cost
- Where: California
School districts, community colleges and transit agencies spend continuously — construction, maintenance, IT, transport, professional services, supplies — and most of them are far less competitive than state or federal solicitations, because most contractors never register.
Why each one is separate
There is no central list. A unified school district, a community college district and a transit authority operating in the same city each maintain their own vendor database, their own commodity codes, and often their own small business or local preference programme. Being on one does nothing for the others.
How we choose your ten
- Your NAICS codes and what you actually deliver
- Your service radius and where mobilisation is realistic
- Agencies with spend in your category and a history of awarding it
- Whether the agency runs a local or small business preference you’d qualify for
The result is a list built for your business rather than a copy-paste of every agency in the county.

What people ask about local agency registration.
Which agencies do you register me with?
Chosen for your codes and service area — ten in total, typically a mix of school and college districts, cities, the county and transit.
Do these agencies charge a fee?
Most don’t. Where one does, we bill it at cost.
Is it worth it if I’m small?
Often it’s the best fit for small firms. District and transit purchases are smaller and far less contested than federal solicitations.
Can I add more agencies later?
Yes — $299 each, any time.
Will I get alerts when they publish something?
That’s what ongoing bid support covers. Registration puts you on the list; monitoring tells you when something lands.
