While MRSC Rosters focuses its contracting assistance on government agencies, we have a partner organization, Washington APEX Accelerator, that provides contracting assistance to businesses.

Washington APEX Accelerator is part of a nationwide program which is partially funded by the Department of Defense. APEX Accelerators centers provide training and education to help businesses participate in government contracts at no charge.

Washington APEX Accelerator helps businesses:

  • Determine steps for government contracting readiness
  • Register with systems and databases needed to participate in the government marketplace 
  • Identify agencies and offices who may need their products or services 
  • Navigate solicitations to identify responsible and responsiveness requirements 
  • Receive notifications of government contract opportunities 
  • Network with buying officers, prime contractors, and other businesses 

Washington APEX Accelerator offers services such as:

  • Confidential Counseling 
  • Technical Assistance 
  • Market Research – find out who is buying what you are selling
  • Capability Statement reviews 
  • Small Business certification assistance 
  • Training seminars, webinars, and workshops 
  • Bid Matching services (optional fee-based service)

If you are interested in becoming a Washington APEX Accelerator client, there is a short intake process. Once you have completed the intake process, you will be connected to an APEX Accelerator Advisor for 1:1 support.

For more information, see the Washington APEX Accelerator website. This APEX Accelerator is funded in part through a cooperative agreement with the Department of Defense.
