When the federal government, Department of Defense, NASA and Fortune 500 companies are looking for electronic, IT equipment and software, they often turn to GC Micro Corporation, a value added reseller and integrator with a solid reputation for consistently delivering what is needed on time.

In 2014, GC Micro was awarded a 10-year NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) government wide acquisition contract. It allows all federal agencies to use this contract to purchase IT products and product-based services quickly and efficiently. The company is one of 145 elite firms in the U.S. to be granted this distinction.

“This SEWP contract award validates our company’s commitment to maintaining some of the highest fill and accuracy ratings in the industry,” said Belinda Guadarrama, CEO and president of GC Micro.

October will be the 30th anniversary of the founding of this Petaluma-based small, minority and woman-owned firm known for its prompt and accurate procurement, delivery and customer service, including installation of goods on a case-by-case basis.

In April, GC Micro was selected as a subcontractor to Boeing as part of the U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency’s sale of nine Boeing-made P-8A Poseidon aircraft to the United Kingdom, approved by the U.S. State Department, designated for maritime patrol and long-range anti-submarine warfare. This estimated $3.2 billion contract for Boeing and its subcontractors involves the delivery of multiple high-performance aircraft with advanced intelligence and surveillance systems.

“We are proud to be part of the Boeing team that builds America’s defense systems. Meeting Boeing’s high performance standards and customer expectations, and earning its Performance Excellence Award seven times, is a testament to our commitment to excellence and outstanding customer focus,” Guadarrama said. “We have worked with the Boeing Company for more than 20 years and with Lockheed Martin for 25.

The ability of GC Micro to procure what is needed on a real time basis is due to its close relationships with 1,700 top software and hardware manufacturers. Its products are ready to go on short notice and stocked and maintained as part of a $5 billion product inventory listing over 280,000 line items in 14 distributor warehouses across the nation.

Furthermore, the company’s authorized dealer partnerships include industry leaders Apple, Cisco, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Microsoft, NEC and Oracle along with Red Hat, SGI STAR-Dundee and Symantec.

GC Micro is AS9120 certified, including ISO 9001:2008 standards outlining quality management system requirements and specific aviation, space and defense industry require.

The company has a strong record of performance. As an example, when customer needs are not met by off-the-shelf products or services, GC Micro serves as an integrator helping to bring the vendors, technology and parts together. Based on its procurement track record in critical public and private sectors, GC Micro has received more than 80 awards for excellence and outstanding performance.

“The secret of our continuing success starts with our wonderful staff. We focus on the value we can bring to our customers in terms of quality, breadth of service, fast turnaround and fulfillment accuracy. Our team works with about 150 vendors a month and a lot of the products we are asked to source are highly specialized and security oriented,” she explained. “We’re not a success if our customers are not a success.”
