“GovTide has been absolutely essential to engaging nearly 20,000 businesses in the federal
market, connecting them daily to federal opportunities and to helping them win over 1,650
contracts – worth at least $3.5 billion. These contracts have generated over $275 million in
State tax revenue, generated a 28:1 return on investment in the NCMBC, expanded our tax
base statewide and generated better quality of life for all citizens in North
Carolina. GovTide is a winner.”
“I believe so strongly in the GovTide technology that it was a critical component of
Scott Dorney, Director
an economic development bill I sponsored last year. The mission is to help our
North Carolina Military Business Center
state’s small and mid-sized businesses compete for and win federal contracts.
GovTide is going to prove a tremendous means of creating new jobs and expanding
the tax based for communities across North Carolina.”
Senator Anthony E. Rand (D)
Cumberland, Senate District 24 2001-2009
North Carolina General Assembly
“It’s working in North Carolina and it can work in any other state. GovTide is a smart use of
technology for economic expansion. What sets GovTide apart is the ability it gives small
business, the heart of this nation’s economic structure, to beat faster and stronger. For the
unfamiliar, the federal contracting process can be daunting. For small business, it can
mean a significant investment of time with little return. Business can’t succeed and grow
without a chance. GovTide gives them that chance.”
Representative Robin Hayes (R)
NC District 8 1999-2009
United States House of Representatives
