Kansas SBDC works hand in hand with Kansas APEX Accelerator (formerly Kansas Procurement Technical Assistance Center) to help businesses explore the government marketplace.  Through professional consulting and training, business owners learn how to assess and then pursue government contracting opportunities at the federal, state and local levels.  Kansas APEX Accelerator can also assist with registrations and certifications (WOSB, EDWOSB, 8(a), HubZone, VOSB, SDVOSB, WBE, DBE, MBE, etc.), bid matching, procurement price history, technical specifications and standards and bid preparation assistance.
