Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTACs)

Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTACs) are government-funded organizations that help businesses understand and navigate the process of selling products or services to government agencies. They provide guidance on contracting opportunities, compliance requirements, and the bidding process, making it easier for companies—especially small and mid-sized businesses—to compete for government contracts. PTACs offer free or low-cost training, counseling, and resources to improve a company's chances of successfully doing business with federal, state, and local governments. Their goal is to foster economic growth by supporting businesses in accessing lucrative government markets.
