Idaho PTAC Hosts 1st Annual PTAC Day, September 26, 2018

For 33 years, Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTACs) have helped expand the number of small businesses that successfully compete for and win federal, state, and local government contracts. On September 26, PTACs from around the country are coming together for one special day to celebrate the success of the tens of thousands of small businesses who have benefitted from training and technical assistance delivered by their local PTACs.

To celebrate the success of PTAC clients throughout Idaho, there will be a networking event on September 26th at the Nampa Business Accelerator. If interested in pursuing government contracting or have questions, the networking event will give organizations the opportunity to connect with PTAC counselors. In addition to the event, a national webinar, Top Tips for Finding and Winning Government Contracts, will be held at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time. The webinar will be presented by a panel of PTAC procurement experts. The experts will provide valuable insights and information to both newcomers and veteran government contractors through the webinar session.

“We want to spotlight the impact that PTACs are having across the country,” says Tiffany Scroggs, President of the Association of Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (APTAC). “By helping businesses, PTACs stimulate the creation of new jobs and economic growth in their communities. And, just as importantly, PTAC clients often are new suppliers that provide products and services critically needed by the armed services and all units of government. Whether its connecting disaster or wildfire responders with agencies in times of crisis or helping train small contractors on new government requirements, PTACs are always there to help. The success stories of PTAC clients are as diverse as our country itself, and we’re glad for this opportunity to tell them,” she adds.
