About this file
This file is a presentation document introducing the Arkansas APEX Accelerator program, a nationwide federal contracting support initiative funded through a cooperative agreement with the Department of War.
The Arkansas APEX Accelerator is a component of the National APEX Accelerator Alliance, with the nationwide goal of connecting government buyers with U.S. suppliers and the state-level goal of increasing government contracts in the regions served. The program provides free one-on-one counseling and training services to help businesses achieve federal contract readiness. The Arkansas APEX Accelerator team consists of a Program Director (Melanie Berman), Deputy Program Manager (Tina Hunter), Administrative Specialist (Rosalind Davis), Outreach Coordinator (Kim Magee), and four regional counselors covering Northwest, Northeast, Southeast/Central, and Central/Southwest Arkansas. Federal Contract Readiness Milestones include registration in the System for Award Management (SAM), completion of a Capability Statement, establishment of a Competitive Marketing Strategy, passing a Self-check for Contractor Responsibility, review of Cybersecurity Requirements, Federal Certification options, FAR/State/Local Regulations, and registration in State/Local Contracting Systems. The program operates from three locations in Little Rock, Bentonville, and Jonesboro, and can be contacted at APEX@uada.edu or through their website at http://www.uaex.uada.edu/APEX.
