NW Texas APEX Accelerator Centers provide one-on-one consulting to teach small business owners how do business with the public sector to include marketing their companies to government agencies, finding contracting opportunities, and preparing bids for government contracts.

Registration as a government contractor is mandatory in order to do business with some government agencies.  NW APEX Accelerator Centers help companies register as government contractors in the System for Award Management (SAM) and the State of Texas’ Central Master Bidders List (CMBL).

Government agencies use different numbering systems to identify the products and services that they buy.  NW Texas APEX Accelerator Centers help businesses find the applicable codes for their products and services in the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), the Product and Service Codes (PSC) Manual, and the Texas NIGP Commodity Book.

NW Texas APEX Accelerator Centers also conduct seminars on a variety of government contracting subjects ranging from basic procurement processes used by state and federal agencies to specific contracting programs and procedures. Events are in-person or virtual & listed on our website.

NW Texas APEX Accelerator Centers send clients a weekly Local Bid Sheet which lists government contracting opportunities that are currently available in Texas.  We also provide an automated bid match service that sends clients bid opportunities tailored to meet their needs from U.S. federal, state & local government agencies.

State and federal agencies have various regulations and laws that govern every step of their contracting activity.  NW Texas APEX Accelerator Centers can provide access to most of those regulations and laws so that contractors can understand and comply with the requirements in each contract they perform.

NW Texas APEX Accelerator Centers help identify potential government customers for businesses by performing market research to find out which agencies are currently purchasing the products or services a business offers. Our counselors can teach clients how to research for opportunities and understand terms.

NW Texas APEX Accelerator Centers assist contractors in preparing contract offers and understanding the bidding process to ensure they understand all requirements included in a contract solicitation.  We also help contractors prepare contract offers for multiple award schedule contracts with the General Services Administration (GSA).

State and federal agencies are required by law to set aside contracting dollars with the goal of awarding those contracts to historically underutilized or underserved businesses. NW Texas APEX Accelerator Centers assist business owners with determining if they are eligible for certification and help them with the processes involved in becoming certified.
