Partnership connects government contracting expertise with a global sourcing network to pursue procurement opportunities across U.S. and international markets

ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- GARDANT Global, a government procurement and contracting organization, has designated International Offset Corporation (IOC) as its Preferred Procurement Partner, expanding its access to international manufacturers, distributors, suppliers and professional service providers to support government and institutional procurement opportunities in the United States and abroad.

The partnership combines GARDANT's government contracting and procurement capabilities with IOC's more than 30 years of experience in international sourcing, strategic procurement, countertrade, offsets and global supply chain development.

Through IOC's international network, GARDANT aims to identify qualified suppliers and alternative sources of supply to meet specific procurement requirements, support competitive pricing and strengthen supply-chain responsiveness. The companies intend to pursue opportunities involving U.S. federal, state, local and education (SLED) agencies, as well as NATO member nations, allied governments and government and institutional organizations throughout Pacific Rim markets.

"GARDANT is focused on developing a comprehensive procurement platform capable of responding to the increasingly complex requirements of government agencies in the United States and internationally," said Paul Karch, president of GARDANT Global. He adds, "our relationship with IOC expands our sourcing capabilities and gives GARDANT access to an established international network of suppliers and service providers. This will allow us to respond more efficiently to a broader range of government procurement opportunities."

"GARDANT understands the complexities of government procurement and the importance of connecting buyers with qualified suppliers who can meet demanding requirements," said Matthew Talbert, IOC's Chief Executive Officer. "We see this partnership as an opportunity to bring our international sourcing experience and global relationships together with GARDANT's capabilities to help address procurement needs across global markets," adds Talbert.

Expanding Access to Government Markets

The partnership is designed to help GARDANT pursue procurement requirements across a broad range of categories, including specialized equipment, technology, commodities, professional services and other government and institutional needs.

IOC brings experience in identifying alternative sources of supply, developing international procurement relationships and structuring sourcing solutions for complex requirements. Its network is expected to broaden the range of manufacturers and service providers GARDANT can engage as it develops opportunities in domestic and international government markets.

For qualified manufacturers, distributors and service providers, the relationship represents a potential channel for engaging with procurement opportunities involving government and institutional buyers. For government buyers, the companies intend to develop a scalable procurement platform that can support sourcing requirements across multiple markets.

"This partnership represents an important expansion of GARDANT's procurement capabilities," Karch said. "We believe the combination of GARDANT's government contracting expertise and IOC's international sourcing network creates a significant opportunity to deliver better procurement solutions to government and institutional customers."

The partnership reflects both organizations' focus on connecting procurement requirements with qualified suppliers, competitive sourcing solutions and responsive supply-chain support. Together, GARDANT and IOC plan to pursue opportunities that leverage their complementary capabilities and expand access to domestic and international government markets.
