• Workshops and Matchmaking Events teach you what you need to know and connect you with other businesses and agency buyers.
• One-on-One Counseling tailored to your specific needs – always free of charge!
• SAM Assistance:  System for Award Management (SAM) registration is FREE, and your PTAC can help you with this and everything else you need to sell to federal, state and local government agencies at little or no charge

PTACs are NOW APEX Accelerators

The Procurement Technical Assistance Program (PTAP) is now under the management of the Department of Defense (DOD) Office of Small Business Programs (OSBP) and has changed its name to APEX Accelerators. Over the next few months, the new branding will roll out across all 95+ centers.

Our mission, however, will not change! We remain committed to supporting local centers and raising awareness of the no-cost counseling services and technical support offered to businesses looking to compete for Federal, State, and Local government contracts.
