Workshops & Events
The Indiana PTAC hosts training events and workshops annually to help businesses understand the government contracting process.
Certification & Registration Assistance
By navigating government registration processes, the Indiana PTAC helps businesses begin working with government entities more quickly and efficiently. Additionally, Indiana PTAC counselors will identify and determine if your business is eligible for set-aside programs, and then assist with the required certification.
Bid-matching Service
Through a comprehensive bid-matching program, the Indiana PTAC will match your company’s products or services with government entities interested or planning to buy. Additionally, the bid-matching program identifies government award histories, highlighting products or services that had been purchased and the purchase prices.
Subcontracting Assistance
The Indiana PTAC will identify and connect businesses to potential sub-contracting opportunities with large contractors located in or outside the state.
GSA Schedules
The Indiana PTAC helps businesses navigate GSA Schedules, which are long-term, government-wide contracts with companies that offer access to commercial products and services, and determine if it is appropriate to register for the program.
Product and Procurement Histories
The Indiana PTAC will provide businesses with technical descriptions and relevant background information regarding products with national stock numbers (NSN).
Assistance with Federal Regulations & Military Specifications
Indiana PTAC will guide businesses through local, state and federal government regulations, including Military Specifications (MIL-SPECs) and Federal Acquisitions Regulations (FAR).
Proposal Preparation
Indiana PTAC counselors will help businesses understand contract solicitation and proposal requirements. While the Indiana PTAC cannot draft a business’ proposal, our team will offer recommendations and review the proposal throughout the entire process.
