In the heart of healthcare innovation, VITALExam stands as a testament to what entrepreneurs can achieve when purpose meets persistence. Founded by Marci Vitale, a dual board-certified, doctorally-prepared Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience in healthcare, VITALExam has become a burgeoning small business built on providing comprehensive health exam services. Their offerings cater to promoting first responder well-being, including physical examinations, integrative resources, and behavioral health assessments. However, they quickly realized that passion alone wasn’t enough to navigate the complexities of government contracting and business growth. The Florida SBDC at UWF and APEX Accelerator stepped in to assist. Through their search for guidance, the Vitales connected with Chip Wells, a small business and government contracting consultant, who provided invaluable support in preparing their first formal proposal. ?

Doing business with the government is different from working with the private sector. Winning government contracts requires learning a new vocabulary, adopting particular strategies, and applying specialized processes and procedures. For Michael Heyman and Brett Meyers, co-founders of The Reimagined Classroom, a one-stop shop for custom educational content, the potential to win a Department of Defense Educational Activity (DoDEA) contract looked promising. The team at The Reimagined Classroom subcontracts and works with large companies by producing and bringing to life engaging textbooks and educational resources for K -12 students. When Heyman and Meyers considered getting into government contracting, they reached out to the Florida APEX Accelerator at UCF for guidance on how the process worked and what they needed to do for their business to succeed.
