Procurement Technical Assistance (PTAC)
Our services are further augmented by the Procurement Technical Assistance

managing and performing on government contracts. Much of the counseling is
performed at the client's firm location, making the technical support delivery
available in a timely and cost effective manner. E-commerce, including
registering, bidding and performing on-line, in a paperless environment is a
vital part of federal contracting. PTAC is a counseling center of the
