About PTAC
What is a PTAC/APEX Accelerator?
A Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC), also known as APEX Accelerator, advises businesses on how to win government contracts and subcontracts. The one-on-one technical assistance includes bid reviews, marketing assistance, contract performance, small business certifications, and more. PTAC and APEX Accelerators also hosts procurement training classes and seminars, and helps businesses register with the correct databases in order to compete for government contracts.
The Washington State PTAC, an APEX Accelerator, assists businesses through the government-contracting marketplace. Washington PTAC’s mission is to increase the number of government contracts awarded to Washington firms so that those firms can grow. We provide no cost, confidential, one-on-one technical assistance in all aspects of selling to federal, state, and local governments.
With the help of PTAC, Washington State companies are awarded $300 million in government contracts each year. When you become a client of Washington PTAC you gain access to experienced counselors who can help you navigate the maze of government contracting. Our services are free as are most of our events and workshops. To learn more about the benefits of becoming a client go here.
