The Northwest Commission’s government contracting program, known as Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC), will be marking its 35th year of service in 2021.

The PTAC at the Northwest Commission aids businesses located within the region that are pursuing work with government agencies. The free program is a business tool that enables companies to pursue and obtain government work—including prime and subcontract work at the Federal, State and Local levels of government—by providing information, opportunities, and technical assistance.

The Northwest Commission PTAC is one of the few PTAC programs in the nation to be in existence for 35 years, a fact that the Commission is proud of. Jill Foys, the Commission’s Executive Director noted, “The Northwest Commission is proud of our 35 year history of assisting businesses engaged in or considering government contracting. Robyn Young, Melissa Becker, and Kelly Weaver endeavor to make themselves a valuable partner to the businesses they serve”.
