BACKGROUND
The Government & Private Sector Contracting Assistance Program was formed to help small businesses
and nonprofits expand and grow via additional government and private sector work. GAPSCAP is
governed by a multi-faceted committee representing the diverse economy of Long Island and New
York including financial institutions, quasi-governmental agencies, businesses and foundations.
These participants provide a wealth of resources for the benefit of the clients of GAPSCAP.
GAPSCAP started its operation in 1986, enabling firms to receive contract awards at the multi-
million dollar level. Coupled with this is a full complement of business and technical services
including financing, diversification, exporting, retraining, etc. All area economic development
resources are brought to GAPSCAP's clients. GAPSCAP's efforts can thus truly provide interested
companies with a well-rounded foundation for future growth. GNYDC's staff will counsel you
expeditiously at our offices, your office, elsewhere or by telephone, free of charge.
