About this opportunity
The Department of Defense (DOD) is seeking applications for its APEX Accelerator Program, a cooperative agreement opportunity that provides funding to establish and maintain accelerators offering procurement technical assistance to businesses. Key requirements include maintaining a dedicated program manager and qualified counseling staff, a website and social media presence, and procedures for outreach, client service delivery, and performance measurement. Applicants will be evaluated based on past performance, program execution, and cost factors, with past performance as the most important criterion. Applications are due by October 1, 2024, and awards are expected to be issued between January and March 2025.
DOD expects to award approximately 95 cost-sharing cooperative agreements totaling an estimated $47 million. Individual award amounts will range from $750,000 to $1,500,000, depending on the accelerator's service area coverage. The program is authorized under the Procurement Technical Assistance for Business Firms grant program (CFDA 12.002) and is open to eligible applicants including special district governments, 501(c)(3) nonprofits, county/city governments, and tribal governments.
