What if the government invested in you, instead of just awarding you a contract?

Title III of the Defense Production Act (DPA) gives the federal government a powerful–and often overlooked–way to strengthen the U.S. industrial base.

Instead of competing for a traditional contract, eligible companies may receive:

  • Direct investments
  • Loans and loan guarantees
  • Purchase commitments
  • Equipment and capacity expansion support
  • Other financial assistance

All aimed at addressing shortfalls in critical technologies, materials, and industrial capabilities.

If your company operates in manufacturing, technology, supply chain, energy, critical materials, or national security-related sectors, DPA Title III could open doors you didn’t know existed.

Why This Matters for Small Businesses

Most contractors focus on RFPs and set-asides.

DPA Title III is different.

It’s about federal investment in capabilities the government needs–sometimes before a formal procurement even exists. That means:

  • Funding to expand production capacity
  • Support to modernize equipment or facilities
  • Opportunities tied to national security priorities
  • A strategic advantage in emerging or high-demand sectors

Understanding how this authority works can help you spot opportunities earlier — and position your company for long-term growth.

What You’ll Learn

In this session, Govology Legal Analyst Steven Koprince explains DPA Title III in clear, practical terms, including:

  • What DPA Title III authorizes the government to do
  • Which contractors may be eligible
  • How to identify and pursue Title III opportunities
  • What typical agreements look like
  • Key risks and considerations to understand before engaging

No legal jargon. Just straightforward insight into how this unique authority works, and how it could apply to your business.

Who Should Attend?

  • Small business contractors in manufacturing, technology, supply chain, or defense-related industries
  • Growth and business development leaders tracking federal investment trends
  • APEX Accelerator staff supporting industrial base development

If you want to understand how federal industrial policy translates into real funding and opportunity, this webinar gives you the roadmap.
