Peter Cokotis, Program Manager |

The Massachusetts Small Business Development Center Network received federal
and state funding to establish a statewide Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC). Resources are concentrated
on assistance to small, minority- and women-owned firms statewide with an emphasis on high
areas of unemployment including Hub Zones. The program manager is housed at the
MSBDC Western Regional Office in Springfield with procurement specialists housed in Springfield,
Lawrence, Boston, Fall River and Worcester. PTAC provides
technical assistance in bid matching for federal, state and municipal
procurement opportunities.
Much of the counseling services are
performed at the client's firm location, making the technical support delivery available
in a timely and cost effective manner. E-commerce, including registering, bidding and
performing on-line, in a paperless environment is a vital part of federal contracting. The
counseling staff supports vendors in those efforts. Technical data, such as
military specifications, standards, pricing histories and technical information by part
number will be supplied.
