The Procurement Outreach Program budget houses the Nevada Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC), which provides assistance to Nevada businesses to enable them to identify potential contractual opportunities with federal and/or state and local governments and government prime contractors and to obtain or perform under contracts with these entities. Specialized assistance from the PTAC may include: locating marketing opportunities for Nevada businesses; educating clients about electronic commerce with government entities; assisting with various registrations and certification requirements; conferring on matters regarding bid/proposal preparation for eventual offer submission by the client to government and government-related entities; and helping clients navigate through post-contract award issues. The result is creating jobs for Nevadans through businesses successfully contracting with the government. This will bring federal funding to the state and keep local tax dollars in Nevada. Statutory Authority: NRS 231 and Title 10 USC Chapter 142.
