About this award

The Office of the Secretary of Defense awarded the Ohio Department of Development a $2.171 million cooperative agreement on April 1, 2026, to establish and maintain APEX Accelerator centers providing procurement technical assistance to Ohio businesses seeking to participate in federal, state, and local government contracts. This award is funded under the Procurement Technical Assistance For Business Firms program (CFDA 12.002), which supports nonprofit and government agencies operating centers where U.S. businesses receive free education and technical assistance for government contracting. The period of performance runs through March 31, 2027, with place of performance in Ohio.

The Ohio Department of Development passes funding to three sub-recipients to operate APEX Accelerator centers: the University of Toledo, Youngstown State University, and Ohio University. These universities provide government contracting counsel to Ohio businesses navigating federal procurement processes. The cooperative agreement structure reflects the program's design to leverage university-based centers as regional procurement assistance resources rather than concentrating services in a single administrative location.
