The market, honestly.
North Carolina is one of the largest defense markets in the country. Fort Liberty, Camp Lejeune, Cherry Point, and Seymour Johnson combine into a deep, steady demand base across every category we cover.
Banking in Charlotte, research and pharmaceuticals in the Triangle, furniture and textiles in the Piedmont, agriculture in the east, and one of the largest military concentrations in the country.
For events & av specifically in North Carolina, our model is direct: AXA South responds to the solicitation, holds the contract, and runs the program. We source through manufacturer-authorized distribution and deliver to the receiving address the agency specifies.
Fort Liberty, Camp Lejeune, Cherry Point, and Seymour Johnson create sustained demand for base operations, training support, facilities, and logistics. The Division of Purchase and Contract runs statewide term contracts, and the UNC System and community colleges buy independently.
State fiscal year ends June 30. Deployment and training cycles at the major installations create demand spikes that do not track any fiscal calendar. The federal fiscal year closes September 30, so August and September carry the heaviest volume of simplified-acquisition and micro-purchase activity at every installation in the state.
North Carolina sets a 10 percent aspirational HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) participation goal on state contracts, with certification through the HUB Office.
Assuming installation contracting offices coordinate. Fort Liberty and Camp Lejeune buy separately, use different vehicles, and a relationship at one does not travel to the other.
