PTAC stands for Procurement Technical Assistance Center. IL PTAC at Illinois Central College is a no cost outreach program for small and medium-sized businesses looking for contracting opportunities with government agencies and large companies. We help small and medium-sized businesses connect with governmental agencies and large companies who have buying needs for commercial products and services. Procurement is a term used to describe the process established by governmental agencies and large companies that offer projects for bid. Procurement may seem complex to businesses who are not accustomed to this process. That is where PTAC can help.
PTAC answers questions you have about the procurement process, refers your business to other agencies and resources, and informs you of upcoming contracting opportunities. We are here to help you save time and effort by getting you connected with the right people and resources. Call or email us with your questions, or to schedule an appointment for meeting at our center at Illinois Central College, Peoria, Illinois.
Our goal is to help Central Illinois businesses win government contracts and subcontracts related to government projects, and to help strengthen our Illinois economy by creating or retaining jobs, and helping business growth.
