EDASC's PTAC program is designed to assist companies who are interested in doing business with the Government.

• We can assist you in finding opportunities to do business with Federal, State or Local Government Agencies.
  
• We can assist you with necessary Government registrations and paperwork.
  
• We hold seminars and workshops on Government Procurement subjects such as Internet Procurement Opportunities, Subcontracting, How to Respond to a Bid, and Local Procurement Opportunities.
  
• We can provide information about how to obtain Government designations such as Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) certification, Women or Minority owned certification, or Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) certification. These certifications can increase a company's chances to win certain Government bids.
  
• We can assist clients with questions they may have during the bid process.
  
• We can provide clients with access to bid opportunities through a network that provides screened and targeted bids delivered to them via email.
