• State of Georgia Government Contracts

During every legislative session the biennium budget (ie. 2 year) is certified for state operations and usually surpasses US $100 Billion. Also impressive is the "AAA" credit rating for the State of Georgia and her creation of the Gold Bullion Depository to directly compete against Ft. Knox. Since inception Georgia has earned the respect and trust of the world's financial community and this is illustrated by our US $1.8 Trillion economy. (The Georgia economy is larger than Canada, Russia, South Korea, Australia, Spain, Mexico, and Indoneia which all have over a US $1 Trillion GDP.)

Almost all businesses, both for-profit and especially non-profits, (1) market their company's goods and services hoping to generate prospects; for (2) a salesperson to convert into a customer; (3) who then usually gets billed on net-30 terms; and (4) without concern for creditworthiness, as their business-model for corporate profitability and owner wealth. While this managerial practice has allowed such companies to survive, they are only participating in the consumer and / or business-to-business economy while simultaenously forfeiting the much larger and stronger marketplace of government purchasing. (As an aside, typical net-30 terms are interest-free which costs the vendor interest income and cash flow while also increasing their bad debts expense; credit / debit card payments cost the merchant up to 3% per transaction plus chargeback exposure; and cash payments incur the risk of theft and banking disclosures.)

State of Georgia has over 500 agencies and purchases a variety of items from (1) individuals, (2) small businesses, (3) domestic and interntational corporations including foreign-citizens. The government's desired purchases and tenders are broadcasted publicly for the world to see and include the (1) desired item, (2) quantity, (3) purchase price, (4) vendor fulfillment schedule, (5) pay date calendar, and (6) criteria for vendor qualification. Merchant applications or bids are accepted in bulk and sorted through as one selects fruit at the farmer's market. Luck of the draw is the marketing strategy for most non-successful applicants in the government procurement marketplace.

True professionals in government contrating (1) hire a dedicated employee to administer their contracting affairs and / or (2) hire a procurement lobbyist to speak directly with the state's purchasing manager and office. Georgia SBA™ procurement lobbyist are recognized by the Georgia Ethicis Commission to communicate with procurement officials across 500 agencies on behalf our client(s).
