Q.  Is there anyplace where I can obtain assistance with government contracting?

A.  Besides the local PTAC Office assistance with government contracts can be obtained from:
A.-Contracting officers ("COs" or KOs), who are involved in establishing agency requirements and will determine the proper source for the supply or service.

B.-Contracting Agents/Specialists should be contacted concerning questions relating to a specific procurement opportunities.

C.-Small Business Liaison Officers (SBLO) are the representatives of prime contractors. They should be contacted concerning potential subcontracting opportunities and potential teaming or partnering opportunities.

D.-Small Business Specialists should be contacted concerning general questions relating to contracting with the government. These specialists work for the agency and should be a good in-side resource for that buying office. They are sometimes identified or referred to as small and disadvantage business utilization specialists (SADBUS) or the office of small business development and utilization (OSDBU). Here are two locations that list most of the offices for the federal government. One is for DoD and the other one is for the Civilian side: Civilian - http://www.acq.osd.mil/sadbu/links/other_federal.htm and DoD - http://www.acq.osd.mil/sadbu/links/other_federal.htm
