This declaration allows federal funds to be spent by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).  There are several rules that federal contractors need to know if 
they want to assist with FEMA projects. Contact APAC with any  questions you may have.

Wonder State Box Company manufactures corrugated packaging, sells packaging supplies, and offers material handling equipment.  Since becoming an APAC client, Wonder State has received an estimated nearly $4 million worth of government contracts.  Sales Representative Doug Fender said,  "The government speaks such a different language.  It's very  helpful to know that assistance from APAC is just a phone call   away". 

APAC is encouraged when we see the success of our clients.  We want to help your business and community grow. Call us to  find out if government contracting can help you.
