FAQ
Straight answers to the questions we actually get.
If yours is not here, ask. We would rather answer it once properly than have you guess.
Contracts and services
What kinds of federal contracts do you support?
Information technology, HVAC, plumbing, janitorial, waste management, facilities and equipment maintenance, grounds maintenance, multi-trade repairs, and moving and removal services — all scoped for federal clients.
Can you run several service lines at once?
Yes. Running multiple lines under one contract is the normal case for us, and our field tooling was built for exactly that.
Do you self-perform or subcontract?
Both, depending on the scope. APEX holds the contract and the compliance burden; qualified local trade partners perform work under our supervision, with quality control and documentation staying with us.
How do you ensure contract compliance?
A written quality control plan, inspection records tied to each service event, transparent reporting, and experienced subcontractors who are onboarded to the same standards every time.

Yes. APEX is a certified WOSB. We are also pursuing HUBZone and 8(a) certification.
