get dollars on our contracts utilizing best business practices. All of our contracts are competitively bid and awarded in compliance with state statutes, procurement laws and regulations.

June 14 marks Flag Day, a day to recognize the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as the official flag of the United States in 1777. More than just a symbol, the American flag represents unity, freedom, sacrifice, resilience, and the enduring spirit of our nation.

At 1GPA, the flag carries special significance. As part of our logo, it serves as a reminder of the values we stand for; service, collaboration, community, and a shared commitment to making a positive impact.

Today, we honor the red, white, and blue and the ideals it continues to represent for generations across the country.

1GPA is proud to support schools and facilities that help equip our next generation for success.
