Where businesses, opportunity, and government connect.
For companies with an interest in selling to the government, Vermont APEX Accelerator is the place to begin. Vermont APEX Accelerator counselors provide the in-depth understanding of complex documentation and product specifications that businesses need to succeed. By proactively searching for appropriate opportunities for each business’s needs, our procurement counselors are indispensable partners in government procurement.
Vermont APEX Accelerator counselors take the time to understand you and your business. The more we know about what makes you distinct, the more we can achieve with you. We match businesses with relevant contact opportunities, target a list of buyers and deliver access to critical research and development products. Our procurement counselors have the technical knowledge to support your business through registrations and certifications. Our understanding of the solicitation process enables you to bid on government contracts effectively and efficiently.
Through every phase of your government contracting experience, Vermont APEX Accelerator is an aid and an asset.
