Select GCR: Unlocking High Value Government Markets for America’s SMEs

Select GCR is a trusted growth partner for SMEs looking to break into the government marketplace. It prepares them to become contract-ready and competitive while simplifying every step so they can concentrate on running and scaling their businesses.

What market barriers does Select GCR help small businesses overcome before pursuing government contracts?

Even though the U.S. government ranks among the world’s largest buyers, many businesses fail to tap into the substantial opportunity as they lack the structure, compliance framework and visibility that federal buyers expect.

Select GCR closes that gap. A full-service business development partner, it guides businesses through registration and certifications to bid preparation and compliance. In turn, clients stand as strong candidates for local, state and federal opportunities that align with their capabilities.

How does Select GCR strengthen internal readiness for organizations entering competitive government contracting environments?

The company also equips them with the knowledge to manage government contracting functions within their own organizations. The objective is sustained capability, not reliance.

“We want to see them succeed, not just by winning contracts, but by learning how to endure that success long-term,” says Jason Bortz, president & CEO.

This commitment to lasting growth defines its mission to help small businesses become medium-sized and medium-sized businesses grow into large enterprises by securing government contracts. To date, the company has supported clients in securing more than $800 million in contracts, grants and loans.

What foundational assessments does Select GCR perform to ensure clients present a credible government-facing profile?

When a business first connects with Select GCR, they don’t receive contract leads immediately. Every engagement begins with an in-depth assessment to clarify whether clients are well-positioned or need foundational support.

It reviews how they appear across government and professional systems. Government agencies use advanced tools to research a company’s online presence across systems like SAM.gov and professional networks such as LinkedIn. If they are not properly represented or the information doesn’t align, the company is viewed as unreliable and quickly dismissed.

Select GCR understands these nuances and ensures each client presents a unified, credible profile before bidding begins. For many, this includes strengthening operating agreements, business plans or standard operating procedures. Others need improvements in documentation and presentation, such as developing a professional website or creating a government-ready resume.

Once ready, it supports clients with state-level registrations, outreach to prime contractors and direct connections with departments and agencies investing in their industry. Proprietary software continually matches clients with pre-vetted bid opportunities based on their industry codes and provides real-time access to contracts and key contacts.

To help them sustain momentum, it offers a monthly program combining AI-driven technology with hands-on advisory.

Procurement advisors and contract specialists either guide clients through bid evaluation, compliance checks and bid/no-bid decisions or manage the entire submission process on their behalf. If clients need technical and proposal writing support, APMP and Shipley certified bid writers handle them to ensure submissions meet government standards.

How does Select GCR tailor its contracting strategies to support both new and advancing government vendors?

A notable example is MS Fruit, a business that had never secured a government contract before partnering with Select GCR. Through targeted outreach to contracting officers and prime contractors, it was introduced as a viable option in its industry. Within months, the company won its first contract and has since completed thousands of contracts.

Not every client’s journey follows the same path. Some begin with registrations before pursuing state-level certifications, later advancing to federal certifications or a GSA Schedule for larger opportunities. Others may need specialized credentials like CMMC cybersecurity certification to qualify for Department of Defense contracts. Select GCR adapts to each client’s needs, identifying steps to maximize their eligibility.

Success still depends on shared commitment. Select GCR provides the roadmap and support, while clients must remain active participants. Those who respond quickly, stay on track and engage in outreach position themselves to win.

With a nuanced grasp of industry requirements, Select GCR helps clients move past guesswork. For organizations ready to grow, it remains a trusted ally delivering direction and measurable success.
