WHO WE ARE
\n\nThe mission of the Maryland Procurement Technical Assistance Center (MDPTAC) is to help Maryland businesses prepare for and engage in the procurement process with federal, state and local government agencies. The Procurement Technical Assistance Program (PTAP) was authorized by Congress in 1985 in an effort to assist small businesses in participating in the Government Marketplace. The Maryland PTAC opened its doors in 2002 and is administered directly by the Maryland Small Business Development Center, funded by the State of Maryland, the Defense Logistics Agency, and hosted by the University of Maryland in College Park.
