You can pass values from the results to another search using the map command. In your case, it'd look something like this:

base search producing grName fields | map search="dbquery Remedy \"SELECT Organization, Group_Name FROM tableName where Assignment_Support_Organization like $grName$\""

One important thing to note: This will launch one search for every result produced by the search pipeline before the map. If you want to launch a lot of searches you'll need to modify the safeguard maxsearches parameter that stops accidental floods of searches from happening. See http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.0.2/SearchReference/map for reference.
