This federal Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the Department of Defense's Office of the Secretary of Defense under the Procurement Technical Assistance For Business Firms program (CFDA 12.002), will establish and maintain an APEX Accelerator to serve as a resource for large and small businesses, including newly started businesses, to obtain procurement technical assistance.
The $504,479.49 award to Macomb Community College in Warren, Michigan, will fund the accelerator's operations from April 1, 2024 through April 11, 2025. The accelerator will assist businesses in identifying contracting opportunities, navigating solicitation requirements, developing proposals, and obtaining compliance training to successfully compete for federal, state, and local government contracts. This aligns with the Procurement Technical Assistance program's goal of building a strong and sustainable U.S. supply chain by supporting diverse businesses in accessing government contracting opportunities.
