Opportunity Information: Apply for DOD 2023 APEX ACCELERATOR SUPPLEMENTAL
The grant opportunity titled DOD-2023-APEX-ACCELERATOR-SUPPLEMENTAL-FUNDING is a U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) funding announcement designed specifically to provide supplemental support to organizations that already received an FY 2023 award under the DoD APEX Accelerator Program. It is not an open, general competition for new applicants; instead, it is a targeted request intended to add funding to existing FY23 APEX Accelerator cooperative agreements. The overall purpose aligns with the APEX Accelerator mission area, which falls under business and commerce and generally focuses on strengthening the defense industrial base by helping businesses navigate DoD and other federal contracting, though this particular notice is explicitly framed as supplemental funding for current awardees rather than a new stand-alone program start.
This opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and will be awarded using a cooperative agreement, which usually indicates that the government expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work (for example, coordinating activities, setting programmatic priorities, or collaborating on implementation and reporting). The issuing agency is listed as ACC-APG-Aberdeen Division A (a component associated with Army Contracting Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground), reflecting DoD administration of the program funding. The funding activity category is identified as business and commerce, and the associated CFDA number is 12.002, which is a catalog identifier used to track and classify federal assistance programs.
Eligibility is broad in terms of entity type but narrow in terms of practical access because it is limited to existing FY23 award recipients. The eligible applicant types listed include state governments; county governments; city or township governments; special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions when relevant). In practice, for this specific supplemental announcement, an organization would generally need to fall into one of these categories and already hold an FY 2023 APEX Accelerator award to be considered.
Key timing and funding parameters provided in the notice include an original closing date of September 22, 2023, and an award ceiling of $10,000,000. The listing does not specify the number of expected awards, which can happen in supplemental funding notices where the number and size of supplements depend on available appropriations, performance, demonstrated need, or programmatic priorities across the existing award portfolio. The opportunity record was created on August 11, 2023, which indicates it was published as an add-on funding action after initial FY23 awards had already been made.
In summary, DOD-2023-APEX-ACCELERATOR-SUPPLEMENTAL-FUNDING is a DoD cooperative agreement supplemental funding opportunity under the APEX Accelerator Program, administered through ACC-APG-Aberdeen Division A, aimed at expanding or sustaining work already underway by FY23 award recipients. It carries a high-level award ceiling of up to $10 million, uses the cooperative agreement mechanism (implying active federal involvement), and was time-bound with a closing date in late September 2023.Apply for DOD 2023 APEX ACCELERATOR SUPPLEMENTAL
