Schoolcraft College APEX Accelerator (formerly PTAC)

The U.S. government spends billions of dollars annually; making it the world’s largest purchaser of goods and services. Our professional and no-cost consulting services can help your company identify the government market that best fits your organization. Our knowledgeable team can help you locate bidding opportunities for your company and explore what it takes to sell your products and services to the government.

APEX Accelerators provide free government contracting assistance to companies interested in selling their products and services to federal, state, and local government agencies. As a regional center, the Schoolcraft College APEX Accelerator services companies located in Oakland, Wayne, Monroe, Washtenaw and Livingston counties. If you are interested in government contracting assistance but are not located in our service area, visit ptacsofmichigan.org to locate the APEX Accelerator in your area. Companies located outside of Michigan, may find their local APEX Accelerator at aptac-us.org.
