Contract Wins

GCubed has been busy! Through our strong partnership with NetCentrics, we are on a great Encore III team and are already starting to review opportunities.

We are also proud to announce that we have finalized our GSA Professional Services Schedule. A General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule is one of the most valuable contracts a business can have to facilitate Federal business development. Under the GSA Schedules (also referred to as Multiple Award Schedules and Federal Supply Schedules) Program, GSA establishes long-term government-wide contracts with commercial firms to provide access to over 10 million commercial supplies and services that can be ordered directly from GSA Schedule contractors.

We are grateful for our amazing team of experts, technicians, and managers for making this possible. We continue to believe that an organization’s greatest asset is its people.

We are in the final stages of completing our GSA IT 70, and will have more news on that coming up!

Employee Spotlight  

I am GCubed’s Project Manager, overseeing quality assurance and maintaining compliance with our customers. I oversee the security guards who are part of the GCubed Security Services team at the Center for Army Analysis on Ft. Belvoir. Problem solving, documenting progress, and maintaining daily communications between the guards and the corporate office is an average day for me.

While most of my time these days is spent working, maintaining a healthy diet and exercising regularly are important to me. I’m an animal lover and have bred and raised dogs in the past; I hope to have more time to care for a dog again soon. I also have a background as an auto mechanic.

I value being prepared and staying organized, allowing me to be ready to tackle any task that comes my way. I am pleased to say that I am respected and valued by my peers, as well as supervisors. As GCubed works to expand its security services to new locations across the nation, I look forward to playing a role in that effort.

Hoop 4 Hope – a Slam Dunk!

This event was about more than basketball games and who won; it was about the relationships and trust built within the community. Children were provided a safe environment in which to develop strong social skills and build lasting relationships. Our greatest source of pride is when we are given the opportunity to build and give back to the community. 

The day was a tremendous success, with the community coming out and enjoying not only the basketball games, but face painting, moon bounces, water balloons, and a DJ. 

Special Thanks to our Sponsors and Volunteers

Riddick Entertainment provided the grill and volunteers who prepared the food. State Farm joined us and raffled off some great items. Slammin Cuts organized the 3 on 3 tournament and provided the DJ.

We look forward to continuing to serve our community!

Employee Spotlight  

Our Human Resources Assistant, Joan King, is known as GCubed’s “Swiss Army Knife”; she does a little bit of everything in the corporate office. Assisting HR and finance with their daily tasks, all while taking on the role of receptionist, has quickly made Joan a vital member of our team. 

On her days off, Joan enjoys taking her two dogs to the trails and going on long hikes with her friends. Reading and collecting globes are a couple of her hobbies. She loves all things organic and natural; if there is a natural alternative to chemicals or man-made products, she will find it or make it herself. Joan even makes her own natural skin care products.

Joan is enjoying every moment on the job. Each day brings new knowledge and opportunities to strengthen her skill set, allowing her to shape her career as she wraps up her Associate’s degree. She is eager to be part of GCubed’s continued growth.
