Organization For Economic Initiatives, Inc.

Organization For Economic Initiatives, Inc., doing business as Government Contract Assistance Program, is a tax-exempt nonprofit recipient of federal cooperative agreements that provides procurement technical assistance to U.S. businesses through an APEX Accelerator center located in Springfield, Oregon. The organization operates exclusively as a prime recipient under the Procurement Technical Assistance for Business Firms program (CFDA 12.002), with no subcontract activity or contract prime awards in its federal footprint.

The organization's customer base centers entirely on Department of Defense entities. The Defense Logistics Agency and its subordinate components (Defense Logistics Agency Headquarters and Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles) account for 16 of 23 awards, with the Office of the Secretary of Defense funding 5 awards and the Department of the Army funding 2 awards — representing 100% of the organization's federal customer concentration. The most recent cooperative agreement, awarded June 1, 2026 by the Office of the Secretary of Defense under CFDA 12.002, carries a value of $1,343,555.68 and runs through May 31, 2027. Prior cooperative agreements from the Defense Logistics Agency Headquarters span from October 2021 through September 2022 ($1.036 million) and continue annually through the current fiscal cycle.

The organization's capability portfolio is narrowly defined by its APEX Accelerator mission: providing no-cost counseling and guidance to businesses of all sizes, including newly established enterprises, on identifying federal contracting opportunities, understanding solicitation requirements, developing competitive proposals, and completing compliance training. Services target both large and small businesses seeking to strengthen their capacity to participate in federal, state, and local government contracting. The program explicitly supports the Department of Defense's objective of building a strong and sustainable U.S. supply chain across all levels of government.

Activity has remained steady at one award per calendar year from 2022 through 2026. The combined potential value across all 23 awards totals $1.5 million, though obligated dollars across all awards reached $19.4 million, indicating that annual cooperative agreements typically fund their full period-of-performance amount. Only one award carries a completion date within the next twenty-four months, suggesting minimal recompete exposure in the immediate horizon.
