Award Summary for FY23

  

The Massachusetts APEX Accelerator (formerly PTAC) program successfully completed its 24rd year assisting small businesses interested in doing business with federal, state, local governments and Prime Contractors. Total award dollars for the 12-month period ending June 30, 2023 was a record at $268.4 million. One government contracting advisory area (Central Massachusetts) is funded by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) resources, which tracks government contracting metrics differently than the Department of Defense (DoD). Therefore, SBA-funded award data is not included in the bar graph below.

The 24-year cumulative award total is $2.7 billion.
