About this file

This document is a PowerPoint presentation providing guidance for conducting a Statewide Coverage analysis for the APEX Accelerator program, associated with a Department of Defense procurement technical assistance grant opportunity. The guidance outlines a four-step process for demonstrating statewide coverage, which requires serving at least 50% of a state's counties and 75% of the state's labor force. Applicants must use the most recent annual labor force data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, retrieving statewide and county-level data to verify coverage, and then provide a detailed analysis documenting the percentage of counties and labor force served.

The analysis template requires applicants to complete a specific reporting format, stating the number of counties served out of the total state counties, and the percentage of the state's total labor force reached by the APEX Accelerator. The document is marked as UNCLASSIFIED//FOUO (For Official Use Only) and provides specific web resources for obtaining labor force statistics, emphasizing the need for precise, current data to support the statewide coverage requirement for this federal grant opportunity focused on procurement technical assistance for businesses.
