Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC)

The Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTAC) help Ohio businesses seeking to compete for federal, state, and local government contracts. The program is part of a nationwide network of Procurement Technical Assistance Centers created by the U.S. Department of Defense. In Ohio, the Ohio Department of Development hosts the program, which is supported by community-based organizations serving local businesses.

PTACs match local businesses with contract opportunities, research past contracts, help clients prepare bids and navigate requirements, and assist clients after winning contracts. Eleven PTACs, covering their own regions within the state, offer free consulting on the contracting process.
