The APEX Accelerator Program is offering this funding opportunity for the execution of cooperative agreement awards. This grant is specifically for the purpose of enabling qualified organizations to operate as APEX Accelerators, providing vital services to businesses. These cooperative agreements are designed to support activities that empower small businesses, including those owned by veterans, women, and disadvantaged individuals, to successfully engage with federal contracting. Funds will facilitate the delivery of comprehensive assistance such as procurement technical assistance, bid preparation, and regulatory compliance guidance. The overarching goal is to strengthen the defense industrial base and foster economic growth by ensuring a diverse and robust supplier base capable of meeting government needs. This initiative aims to enhance the capacity and reach of Accelerators, ultimately boosting the competitiveness of small businesses in securing government contracts.
