Welcome to APEX Accelerator, formerly known as PTAC

Did you know that PTAC’s across the country are sun-setting the name “PTAC”?

Yes, that’s right! We will be launching a new moniker “APEX Accelerator” in 2023.Change is coming!

The Procurement Technical Assistance Program (PTAP) is now under the management of the Department of Defense (DOD) Office of Small Business Programs (OSBP) and has changed its name to APEX Accelerators. The 95+ centers, including the UTSA PTAC, will be transitioning to the new name in the coming months. Our mission and assistance will not change; we continue to be here for you with all your government contracting needs.

Over the coming months, PTAC will transition to a new name: APEX Accelerator. You’ll continue to experience exceptional government contracting assistance, just under a new name.

The APEX Accelerators program, under management of the Department of Defense (DOD) Office of Small Business Programs (OSBP), plays a critical role in the Department’s efforts to identify and engage with a wide range of businesses entering and participating in the defense supply-chain. The program provides the education and training that all businesses need to participate to become capable of participating in DOD and other government contracts.

There are more than 90 APEX Accelerators, formerly known as PTACs, assisting businesses in 49 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of Northern Marianas, and in regions established by the Bureau of Indian Affairs in the U.S. Department of the Interior.

Mission: Serve as the axis for existing and new business to strengthen the defense industrial base by accelerating innovation, fostering ingenuity, and establishing resilient and diverse supply chains.

Vision: A diverse and resilient domestic industrial base that can deliver preeminent solutions to the military and other government users.

**This APEX Accelerator is funded in part through a cooperative agreement with the Department of Defense.
