About Us

We help Georgia businesses identify, compete for, and win government contracts.

Our assistance comes in the forms of teaching, mentoring and coaching.  We also provide our clients with a set of electronic tools to research and identify government contracting opportunities.

Our services are available at no cost to any Georgia business, large or small, that possesses the interest and potential to perform work — as a prime contractor or a subcontractor — for federal, state or local government agencies.  (Outside Georgia?  Click here.)

The Georgia Tech Procurement Assistance Center (GTPAC) operates under a cooperative agreement with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). GTPAC is part of the Industry Services group within the Enterprise Innovation Institute (EI2) of Georgia Tech.   Within EI2, an additional government contracting resource exists — The Contracting Education Academy at Georgia Tech — which offers professional education classes through Georgia Tech’s Distance Learning Professional Education unit.

In addition to the services offered by GTPAC and The Contracting Education Academy, Georgia Tech’s Enterprise Innovation Institute offers the following areas of assistance:

• The Georgia Manufacturing Extension Partnership (GaMEP) at Georgia Tech helps small and mid-size manufacturers increase top line growth and reduce bottom line cost.
• The Advanced Technology Development Center is a start-up accelerator that helps Georgia technology entrepreneurs launch and build successful companies.
• The MBDA Business Center provides business and technical assistance to emerging and existing minority businesses.
• The Strategic Partners Office links companies to leading-edge resources at Georgia Tech, applying faculty know-how, specialized facilities, and student talent to such goals as new product development, improved competitiveness, and transformation of industrial processes.

Interested in Our Services?

We urge you to commit yourself to continuous learning if you want to succeed in the government marketplace. GTPAC’s classes on a wide array of government contracting topics — all offered at no cost — will provide you with the information and techniques you must master if you are to succeed in contracting with the government sector.

Your starting point is attending our “Introduction to Government Contracting” class.

Not sure if government contracting is something you want to pursue?  Then attending our briefing on “Fundamentals of Working with the Government” should be the first step you take.

Either way, attending our “Intro” class or our “Fundamentals” briefing will qualify you to become a registered client of the Georgia Tech Procurement Assistance Center so that you can receive more tools and make an appointment to receive one-on-one assistance from one of our Procurement Counselors.
