About GSN
GSN’s first contract in 1999 was supporting the Army’s 1st Infantry Division’s training mission at Fort Riley Kansas, and we soon expanded our contract offerings by winning major contracts supporting the National Institutes of Health (NIH), USDA, DOD, and State Department.
For +20 years we have provided complex customer solutions, while providing a challenging and dynamic workplace for our valued employees. In our longest-running customer support effort, since 2001 we have supported NIH in their mission to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability.
GSN is proud of our past but it is our daily achievement of excellent customer service that is our daily focus!
