PTAC

Procurement Technical Assistance Centers are local organizations funded by DoD to provide free or low-cost counseling and training to businesses seeking government contracts. PTACs help with SAM.gov registration, proposal preparation, identifying opportunities, and understanding procurement processes.

PTACs operate nationwide through a network of over 300 locations. Counselors provide one-on-one assistance tailored to each business's goals and capabilities. Services include bid matching, compliance guidance, and training workshops. PTACs are particularly valuable for small businesses new to government contracting who need hands-on guidance.
