About Native PTAC

The Native American Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) helps individual and tribally owned Native firms to become more successful in contracting with federal, state and local governments.

The Native PTAC does this by providing one-to-one assistance with government certifications and registrations, interpretation of solicitations, bid/proposal reviews, marketing advice, and contract performance support for designated socio-economic programs.
