Attachment 10 Goals Proposal Template 2.2 Final.xlsx

The file is a Performance Metric Proposal Template for the APEX Accelerator program, detailing seven comprehensive goals for supporting businesses in government contracting. The goals include cultivating the Defense and Government Industrial Bases, increasing small business certifications and participation across various categories (8(a), HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Women-Owned), improving cybersecurity, facilitating innovation, strengthening supply chains, and capturing market data in critical technologies. Each goal contains specific performance metrics and reporting requirements, such as tracking the number of new business certifications, counseling activities, training events, and client assistance across federal, state, and local government procurement landscapes.

The associated federal grant opportunity is a Department of Defense cooperative agreement for the Idaho APEX Accelerator, focused on providing procurement technical assistance to businesses. The funding falls under the Procurement Technical Assistance For Business Firms program (CFDA 12.002), which supports businesses in securing government contracts. Eligible applicants include states, local governments, private nonprofit organizations, economic enterprises, and tribal organizations. While specific award amounts are not detailed in this document, the program typically provides funding ranges between $250,000 and $1,500,000, with performance periods of approximately one year.
