Do Business with the Government

Did you know that Washington state companies are awarded more than $300 million in contracts a year? Your company can do business with the government and add another revenue stream to your business. As part of our efforts to support our local business community and grow the economy, GSI’s government contracting program, in partnership with the Washington Apex Accelerator (WAA), advises businesses on how to win government contracts and subcontracts. 

The program provides businesses with one-on-one counseling to help prepare your business for this opportunity. Topics covered include bid reviews, marketing assistance, contract performance, small business certifications, and more. WAA also hosts procurement training classes and seminars, and helps businesses register with the correct databases to compete for contracts.
