Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTAC)s provided one-on-one assistance to businesses virtually during the stay-at-home orders caused nationwide by the COVID-19 pandemic. PTACs were designated essential critical infrastructure to the Defense Industrial Base and were used extensively to disseminate information from government to businesses. PTACs assisted businesses entering or re-entering the government marketplace due to a downturn in their commercial business caused by the pandemic. PTACs directed suppliers to the solicitations used by the government to procure critical supplies and equipment to support the pandemic response and helped them understand how to submit an offer to provide the supplies.
Centers are funded which has led to tens of thousands of businesses receiving procurement assistance, allowing successful participation in federal, state, and local government contracts.
