Services

APEX Accelerators help businesses:

  • Determine whether they are ready for government opportunities and how to position themselves to succeed.

  • Complete registration with a wide range of databases necessary for them to participate in the government marketplace (e.g., SAM).

  • Identify which agencies and offices may need their products or services and how to connect with buying agencies and offices.

  • Network with buying officers, prime contractors, and other businesses.

  • Receive notifications of government contract opportunities on a regular basis.

  • Navigate solicitations and potential opportunities.

  • Resolve performance issues and prepare for audit, only if the service is needed, after receiving an award.

Arizona APEX Accelerator does not assist with startup ideas, business training, business planning, loans, or business capitalization.

Please see our network partner Arizona SBDC for those services.
