The Government Agency Coordination Office (GACO) at California University of Pennsylvania has received two grants totaling nearly $375,000 to assist businesses in Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Greene and Washington counties.
The Allegheny Foundation awarded a grant of $140,000, and the Defense Logistics Agency awarded a grant for $233,000. The two grants will allow GACO — a procurement technical assistance center that helps businesses interested in pursuing federal, state and local government contracts and subcontracts, to continue to provide services to area businesses in 2018 and 2019.
GACO services to the region’s business community includes advice on bid preparation, notification of bid opportunities and one-on-one counseling on government procurement procedures.
Since 1985, GACO — which has offices at Cal U, Slippery Rock University and in Pittsburgh — has helped companies obtain more than $3.8 billion in contracts. For more information about GACO, visit calu.edu/GACO
