The UH PTAC – Who We Are and What We Do
The University of Houston Procurement Technical Assistance Center is a Program of the Defense Logistic Agency’s (DLA) Procurement Technical Assistance Program (PTAP). The Program was implemented to increase small business participation in Federal Government contracting for businesses that have been operating in the commercial market and have a proven record of successful performance. Since its inception, the Program has expanded to include providing assistance to businesses in all three areas of government – Federal, State, and Local. The UH PTAC fulfills the objectives of the PTAP through one-on-one advising and a variety of classroom workshops.
