Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) Program
The Procurement Technical Assistance Center assists businesses to compete successfully in federal, state and local government contracting. The University of Tennessee Center for Industrial Services has provided these services since 1986. PTAC is funded, in part, by the U.S. Department of Defense and is administered through a cooperative agreement with the Defense Logistics Agency. UT PTAC services are delivered to you at no charge.
Last year our PTAC consultants assisted 489 companies in Tennessee, generating more than $650 million in contract dollar, which led to some 13,000 jobs being created or retained.
