Agencies & Primes

The Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) supports government agencies and government prime contractors by supporting small businesses interested in doing business with them.

The PTAC also assists with identifying potential sub-contractors in diversified areas such as, Small, Women-owned, Minority-owned, SBA 8 (a) Certified, Veteran-owned, Service-disabled Veteran-owned and HUBZone Certified, facilitating events and other activities.

The PTAC also supports the sub-contracting goals and requirements of government agencies and prime contractors. The PTAC sponsors an annual PTAC EXPO to aid in this effort. Co-sponsors, Sponsors and Partners are always welcome to provide funding or marketing to assist the PTAC in getting the word out to potential government suppliers throughout the PTAC’s seven-county region of Carbon, Lackawanna, Luzerne, Monroe, Pike, Schuylkill and Wayne Pennsylvania and beyond.
