Government Certifications

Did you know a Woman-Owned Small Business may be eligible for a set aside or sole-source contract award in the Federal Government, but first, you must be designated as a Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) or an Economically Disadvantage Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB) in the SBA Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS)?

Cross Timbers APEX Accelerator helps our clients develop a Capability Statement for use in marketing to target agencies by providing a capability briefing- the perfect way to receive feedback from professionals.
