Officials at Apple Rock Advertising & Promotion Inc. have announced the firm has earned a contract with the U.S. General Service Administration (GSA) making Apple Rock one of the few firms that can bid on GSA jobs. The contract took effect Nov. 1.
“We intend to bring the same high quality and dedicated service for which Apple Rock is known in the corporate sector to our new government clients,” said Eric Burg, president and CEO, Apple Rock. “This company is solidly positioned as a leader in the display and exhibit industry. We are built on a reputation of innovation and impeccable service, and we intend to carry that reputation forward through this new business-development channel.”
As the centralized procurement arm for the federal government, the GSA offers products, services and facilities needed by federal agencies for serving the public. In turn, the GSA offers businesses the opportunity to sell billions of dollars worth of products and services to those agencies. It is estimated government purchasing represents almost 50 percent of current economic spending in the U.S.
Under the GSA contract, Apple Rock is qualified to bid on government jobs that fall into the Schedule 78 category: Trade Show Displays and Exhibit Systems and Related Products. Apple Rock is one of only 26 approved suppliers in that category and one of the few providing customized products.
