About

The Washington Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) advises businesses on how to win government contracts and subcontracts. The one-on-one technical assistance includes bid reviews, marketing assistance, contract performance, small / minority / women / veteran business certifications, and more. PTAC also hosts procurement training classes and seminars, and helps businesses register with the correct databases in order to compete for government contracts.

The Washington State PTAC assists businesses through the government-contracting marketplace. Washington PTAC’s mission is to increase the number of government contracts awarded to Washington firms so that those firms can grow. We provide no cost, confidential, one-on-one technical assistance in all aspects of selling to federal, state, and local governments.

Washington PTAC is a program of the Thurston Economic Development Council in partnership with Green River College, Economic Alliance Snohomish County, Kitsap Economic Development Alliance, Greater Spokane Inc, and Tri City Regional Chamber of Commerce.  PTAC is funded, in part, through a cooperative agreement with the Defense Logistics Agency.
