INTRO TO PTAC - This class is an introduction to PTAC services. We will discuss assistance, training and classes offered by the PTAC. We will also have a discussion of BidMatch - the opportunity search tool, the System for Award Management (SAM), and the several categories of federal and state small business socio-economic program designations such as Minority-Owned, Veteran-Owned and Woman-Owned businesses. This class will inform you of PTAC's free services including BidMatch. This is a powerful search engine that will scrape publicized government bids matching your keywords and codes and will send that bid match directly to your email inbox. If you want to use PTAC services, this session is a must to attend in order to help us better understand your business needs. We will describe what services we can offer you in this process, and help you make the best value decision before proceeding further into the A-Maze - ing process of selling to the government. The session will get you off to the right start plus offer you networking and marketing opportunities. This is HIGHLY recommended for new PTAC Clients prior to their first meeting with a PTAC Counselor. *PLEASE PRE-REGISTER so we can notify you due to speaker changes, weather CANCELLATIONS, etc. We also appreciate 24-hour notice if you need to cancel.
