Washington PTAC, an APEX Accelerator Information

The Washington Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) program, an APEX Accelerator, helps companies find and successfully achieve contracts for work with the local, state and federal governments. With the help of the PTAC program, Washington State companies have won millions of dollars in federal, state and local contracts and subcontracts. The PTAC's mission is to maximize the number of capable U.S. companies participating in the government marketplace by providing businesses nationwide with an understanding of the requirements of government contracting and the marketing know-how they need to obtain and successfully perform federal, state, and local government contracts, and supporting government agencies in reaching and working with the suppliers they need. There are several centers across Washington State assisting small businesses with marketing to the government, solicitations, drawings, and other areas relating to selling to the government. A listing of the outreach centers can be found on the Centers page and our services are detailed on our Services page. Nationally, there are ninety-two PTACs with over 250 local offices. This nationwide network of dedicated procurement professionals work to support and extend the Defense Logistic Agency’s mission; providing the best value goods and services to America’s Armed Forces and other government agencies. PTACs are the bridge between buyer and supplier. To identify PTACs in other states, please visit: www.aptac-us.org.
