The document summarizes the services provided by Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTACs). It notes that PTACs are funded through a matching funds program administered by the Defense Logistics Agency to help small businesses participate in government contracting. The key services PTACs provide include helping businesses identify contracting opportunities, prepare bids and certifications, understand contracting laws and regulations, and educate on topics related to government procurement. PTACs cannot provide general business services or training unrelated to government contracting. The document lists PTAC specialists in Arizona and notes plans to open new sites in Sierra Vista and downtown Phoenix.
