The HUBZone map is changing in July 2023. Every five years the HUBZone program is required to update HUBZone designations to ensure the program continues to serve the communities that are most in need of assistance. Most areas will remain the same but some do change. After this 2023 change the map will be updated again in July 2028.
Please check the 2023 preview HUBZone map to check and see if this effects your status as a HUBZone. Certified HUBZone entities that are no longer eligible on July 1, 2023, due to the map change may continue to participate in the HUBZone program through their annual recertification.

The Procurement Technical Assistance Program (PTAP) is now under the management of the Department of Defense (DOD) Office of Small Business Programs (OSBP) and has changed its name to APEX Accelerators. Over the next few months, the new branding will roll out across all 95+ centers.
Our mission, however, will not change! We remain committed to supporting local centers and raising awareness of the no-cost counseling services and technical support offered to businesses looking to compete for Federal, State, and Local government contracts.
