Need help finding information on how to do business with federal, state, and local government? RVC’s Procurement Technical Assistance Center can help.
We utilize a wide variety of resources to provide information and assistance to program clients. In the federal system alone, there are nearly 100,000 procurement officials across the U.S. Cooperation from these and other resources, such as the Defense Logistics Agency, U.S. Small Business Administration, and General Services Administration enables us to provide valuable technical assistance to participating firms.
The PTAC also has linkages with the federal, state, and local levels through the Illinois Small Business Development Center Network. We work closely with other business assistance programs to provide such services as trade/export assistance through international trade centers, access to financial and energy management assistance, and job training help.
