APEX Accelerator
[formerly known as the Nevada Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC)]
The modified name change in effect as of December 2022 stems from the program being elevated from the Defense Logistics Agency to the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition & Sustainment/U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Office of Small Business Programs. A variety of webpages and e-materials and so on will be changed to show the modified name over time. Wherever Nevada PTAC or Nevada PTAC, POP or any variation thereof is seen in this webpage or elsewhere, such reference is to be read as APEX Accelerator [formerly known as the Nevada Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC)].
This APEX Accelerator is funded in part through a cooperative agreement with the Department of Defense.
