About the company
Monterey County Business Council, Inc., a tax-exempt non-profit organization headquartered in Salinas, California, is a federal grant recipient under the Procurement Technical Assistance for Business Firms program (CFDA 12.002), operating the APEX Accelerator center to deliver free procurement counseling, training, and technical guidance to small businesses and newly established enterprises seeking to participate in federal, state, and local government contracting.
The vendor operates exclusively as a grant recipient (88% of recent awards are prime grants) with minimal sub-award activity. The organization has held consecutive cooperative agreements with the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the Defense Logistics Agency since September 2021, delivering procurement assistance services through its website at www.mcbc.biz. Recent prime awards include a $424,287.95 cooperative agreement from the Office of the Secretary of Defense for the period May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2027, a $384,844.08 cooperative agreement from the same agency for July 1, 2025 through April 30, 2026, and a $442,847.72 cooperative agreement from Defense Logistics Agency Headquarters for September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2022. The APEX Accelerator center serves businesses of all sizes, including minority-owned firms, newly started enterprises, and those in underserved regions throughout California, with emphasis on helping clients understand federal procurement processes, identify contracting opportunities, develop competitive proposals, and navigate SBA certifications including 8(a) and small business set-asides.
Customer concentration is narrow and stable. The Defense Logistics Agency Headquarters and the Office of the Secretary of Defense together account for 100% of recent awards. The vendor also engages as a sub-recipient under two SBA Small Business Development Center (SBDC) sub-awards from the University of California, Merced (dating April 1, 2025 and July 8, 2024), where it delivers procurement assistance as part of a regional Central California SBDC service center supporting business creation, government contracting guidance, innovation and technology training, and capital access for small businesses and underserved populations including rural entrepreneurs, minorities, women, and veterans.
Activity remains modest and consistent. The vendor has received one award in 2026, two in 2025, two in 2024, and one award each in 2022 and 2023, with combined obligated dollars across all awards totaling $5.9 million. Only one award reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal near-term recompete exposure.
