About the company
Southwestern College Foundation, doing business as Southwestern College, a non-profit educational institution based in Chula Vista, California, operates as a federal grant recipient providing procurement technical assistance, small-business innovation support, and women's entrepreneurship services to the Department of Defense, the Small Business Administration, and the Defense Logistics Agency. The organization holds no federal contracts and operates exclusively as a prime recipient (94% of recent awards) and occasional sub-recipient under federal grant programs.
Southwestern College Foundation's capability portfolio centers on three concrete service lines. It operates the San Diego & Imperial Women's Business Center (WBC), delivering entrepreneurship training, mentoring, business development counseling, and financing assistance to women-owned small businesses in San Diego and Imperial Counties under the SBA's Women's Business Ownership Assistance program (CFDA 59.043); the organization has received seven awards under this program since 2022, each valued at $150 thousand, with multiple renewal awards spanning multi-year periods through September 2027. It operates an APEX Accelerator providing procurement technical assistance to small and large businesses seeking to identify federal, state, and local contracting opportunities and perform under government contracts and grants; this line has generated four DoD cooperative agreements and a January 2022 Defense Logistics Agency award of $827,574. Most recently, on September 28, 2024, the SBA's Office of Investment and Innovation awarded the Foundation a $2.44 million firm-fixed-price contract (the organization's only federal contract award in the source data) to establish and operate a Regional Innovation Cluster supporting small businesses in advanced computing, biotechnologies, clean energy, and cybersecurity, with performance through June 4, 2025.
Customer concentration is distributed across seven federal agencies, with the Defense Logistics Agency (9 awards), the SBA's Office of Entrepreneurial Development (7 awards), and the Office of the Secretary of Defense (4 awards) accounting for 87% of award count. The combined potential value across all 31 awards stands at $2.4 million, though obligated dollars total $16.7 million, indicating sustained multi-year funding relationships that have matured beyond initial award ceilings. One award completes in the next twenty-four months. In its minimal subcontract footprint, Southwestern College Foundation collaborates with The Pennsylvania State University on a "Microelectronics and Nanomanufacturing Partnership for Veterans" grant sub-award, with documented sub-grant activity in March 2024 and June 2025. Southwestern Community College District operates as the sub-recipient and implementation partner for both the APEX Accelerator and the Women's Business Center, sharing service delivery under the Foundation's federal awards.
