Georgia’s state-funded public works projects — new construction, renovation, and roof replacement on GSFIC, university system, and state agency buildings — are built by general contractors who hold an active Georgia commercial GC license, carry contractor’s bonding capacity, and are registered in the state’s vendor and federal SAM.gov systems. Integrity CRR is one of those contractors: a Georgia-licensed commercial general contractor (GA GC license #GCCO009212), service-disabled veteran-owned (SDVOSB), SAM.gov registered, and bonded, based in Atlanta and also licensed to build in Florida (FL Certified GC #CGC1539499).
Which General Contractors in Georgia Do GSFIC and State-Funded Public Works Projects?
Any general contractor bidding GSFIC or other state-funded work in Georgia has to clear the same basic gate before scope or price even come into it: an active GA commercial GC license in good standing, bonding capacity sized to the project, and current registration in SAM.gov (required on anything touching federal funds passed through state agencies) plus the state’s own vendor registration. Beyond that floor, agencies score bidders on project experience, safety record, and financial capacity — and a fair number of solicitations carry a small-business or veteran-owned preference that a certified SDVOSB firm can claim points on. Integrity CRR meets that floor: GA GC license #GCCO009212, bonded, SAM.gov registered, and SDVOSB. Which contractor actually wins a given GSFIC contract still comes down to bid price, schedule, and bonding on that specific solicitation — there’s no single company that does all the state’s work.
What GSFIC Actually Requires From a Contractor
GSFIC (the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission) manages capital construction for state agencies, the University System of Georgia, and technical colleges. It isn’t a single always-open bid list — projects are solicited individually, and larger ones require a contractor qualification statement covering bonding capacity, similar-project experience, and safety history before a bid is even considered. Smaller state-funded public works can also run through individual agencies or through DOAS (Department of Administrative Services) rather than GSFIC directly, so “does GSFIC-funded work” and “does Georgia state-funded public works” aren’t always the identical question — the paperwork and the funding source can differ even when the building is the same kind of project.
The Baseline Checklist
| Requirement | What it means |
|---|---|
| Active GA commercial GC license | Verifiable with the Georgia Board — non-negotiable to bid |
| Bonding capacity | Sized to the project; carried by the contractor, verified by the surety |
| SAM.gov registration | Required wherever federal funds flow through a state contract |
| State vendor registration | Georgia’s own procurement portal, separate from SAM.gov |
| Safety and experience record | Scored in the qualification statement on larger solicitations |
| SDVOSB / small-business certification | Not a guarantee of award, but relevant where a solicitation sets a preference |
SDVOSB Status on State Work
SDVOSB certification carries real weight on federal set-asides. On Georgia state-funded work it’s more variable — some solicitations build in a scoring preference for certified veteran-owned or small businesses, others don’t distinguish at all, and the award almost always still goes to the lowest responsive, responsible bid on public contracts. Treat SDVOSB status as one factor a contractor can bring to a state bid, not a guarantee of who wins it.
How Integrity CRR Fits Into Public Works
Integrity CRR general-contracts public works and commercial projects the same way it general-contracts private commercial work: as the GC managing vetted subcontractors with a track record on prior Integrity jobs, with a principal on every job. Roofing is the one exception — Integrity self-performs roofing with its own crews rather than subbing it out, and roofing estimates are written in-house by a Haag-certified reviewer rather than farmed out. On a public building with a roof replacement or roof section in scope, that means the GC pricing and executing the roof work is the same company standing behind the rest of the contract, instead of a broker adding a markup on a sub’s number.
What to Ask Any Contractor Bidding State Work
Before a state agency or GSFIC-funded project shortlists a contractor, it’s worth confirming directly:
- Current GA GC license number, checked against the state board
- Bonding capacity for a project this size, in writing from the surety
- SAM.gov and state vendor registration status
- Which trades the contractor self-performs versus subcontracts, and to whom
- Prior public-sector project references, not just private commercial ones
Integrity CRR handles public works projects across Georgia alongside commercial build-outs and roofing, based out of Atlanta with work extending across the metro into Marietta, Alpharetta, and beyond. Full company background, licensing, and bonding information is on the about page, and past project examples are on the projects page.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Integrity CRR pre-qualified with GSFIC?
GSFIC qualifies contractors on a per-project basis through a contractor qualification statement rather than maintaining one universal pre-approved list. Integrity CRR holds the underlying credentials agencies check for — active GA GC license #GCCO009212, bonding capacity, and SAM.gov registration — and can submit qualification documentation for a specific solicitation on request.
What’s the difference between a GSFIC project and other Georgia state-funded public works?
GSFIC specifically manages capital construction for state agencies, the University System of Georgia, and technical colleges. Other state-funded public works can run through DOAS or an individual agency instead, so the funding source and paperwork can differ even for similar buildings. Always confirm which agency is administering a specific solicitation before assuming GSFIC rules apply.
Does SDVOSB certification guarantee a contractor wins Georgia state contracts?
No. SDVOSB status can factor into scoring on solicitations that build in a veteran-owned or small-business preference, but Georgia public contracts are still awarded to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder in most cases. Integrity CRR is a certified SDVOSB, but treats that as one factor in a bid, not a guarantee.
Does Integrity CRR subcontract roofing on public works projects?
No. Roofing is self-performed by Integrity CRR’s own crews, and roofing estimates are written in-house by a Haag-certified reviewer rather than subcontracted or brokered out. Every other trade on a public works project — build-outs, tenant improvements, general construction — is managed by Integrity as the GC with vetted subcontractors.
