SERVICE AREA
Golden State APEX Accelerator is hosted by the Kern County Builders Exchange in Bakersfield and serves various counties in the Central California region.
In addition to Kern, we assist businesses throughout San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties.
We work with businesses across all industries
In 2023, the federal government awarded a total of $178.6 billion in small business federal contracting, an increase of $15.7 billion from 2022.
There are government contracting opportunities for all types of businesses. Our client database includes construction companies, security & surveillance, pest control, landscaping, tech, agriculture, professional development, and more. Find out if you’re an eligible candidate for government contracting by scheduling a one-on-one session with our procurement specialists.
Our region has unique opportunities to work with a wide range of government agencies. We are home to six Department of Defense military installations within a 150-mile radius from the Golden State APEX office, totaling approximately $7.5 billion in annual procurement. However, our support extends well beyond contracts with the Department of Defense. We assist with contracting all levels of government, including federal, state, and municipal agencies. Our procurement specialists will help you define what contracts and agencies are the right fit for your business.
