Warning: Don’t be duped into paying for GTPAC’s services — Our services are free of charge!

By

It’s come to our attention that there are businesses receiving phony invoices presumably for services received from a Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC).  There is a national network of PTACs, and the Georgia Tech Procurement Assistance Center (GTPAC) is one of them.

GTPAC never charges for our counseling, training or bid match services.

The vast majority of PTACs don’t charge for their services, either.  When nominal fees are charged by a particular PTAC, those fees are clearly described in writing and in advance.

We want you to be aware of an active scam that is taking place right now.  Someone is sending out invoices in the name of the “American Procurement Technical Assistance Center.”   We know of no such organization.  However, all PTACs are members of a professional association known as APTAC — the Association of Procurement Technical Assistance Centers.  Our association never sends invoices or charges fees to PTAC clients.

The phony invoices are in the amount of $249 for “procurement technical assistance.”

If you receive such an invoice, do not pay it.

Also, if you receive such an invoice, do everyone a favor and forward it via email to GTPAC at gtpacatl@innovate.gatech.edu

 

This is a copy of the phony invoice. If you receive it, don’t pay it!   Instead, forward it to GTPAC so that we can continue to warn others about this scam.

All of us as the Georgia Tech Procurement Assistance Center (GTPAC) are proud to announce that GTPAC is a key participant in a national celebration.  You can be too!

National PTAC Day – Wednesday, September 26, 2018 – is a celebration of the contracting success of the thousands of small businesses who have benefitted from training, counseling and other assistance delivered by their local procurement technical assistance center (PTAC).

National PTAC Day unites the 95 Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTACs) in all 50 states (plus the District of Columbia, Guam and Puerto Rico) – and the 48,000 clients they serve – by sharing small business success stories in the government marketplace and the significant economic impact that PTAC clients create within their communities. This special day features a national social media campaign, public relations initiatives, online and in-person events, and more.

A major feature of PTAC Day – and one that GTPAC is directly supporting – is a national webinar entitled “Top Tips for Finding and Winning Government Contracts.”  GTPAC Procurement Counselor Tom Larkin is one of three panelists who will be providing his insights during the webinar.  This no-cost presentation takes place Wednesday, September 26th from 2:00 to 3:00 pm Eastern time.

By participating in the webinar you’ll learn how to:

  • Gett Ready to Enter the Government Marketplace
  • Find Government Contract Opportunities
  • Bid on Government Contracts

How ‘useful links’ can help you navigate the government contracting process

By

Clients of the Georgia Tech Procurement Assistance Center (GTPAC) will tell you how helpful GTPAC’s “Introduction to Government Contracting” seminar is.  Hundreds and hundreds of Georgia businesses have used the “Intro” seminar as their first stepping stone into the government contracting arena.

What these businesses may forget is that GTPAC has a web page containing all of the resources featured in the seminar.

GTPAC’s “Intro” class outlines of seven steps that are essential to achieving success in the government marketplace.  The seven steps are:

  1. Registration in Government Databases
  2. Creating a Marketing Plan
  3. Knowing the Right People
  4. Developing a Reference Library
  5. Searching for Opportunities
  6. Bidding and Performing
  7. Marketing to State and Local Governments

Internet resources supporting the seven steps are valuable to businesses who have attended GTPAC’s “Intro” seminar as well as those who have not.

By reviewing the seven steps on-line — available here — businesses can familiarize themselves with all of the things they should do to prepare themselves before pursuing government contracts.  The resources listed on GTPAC’s “useful links” webpage inform newcomers to government contracting — and remind experienced government contractors — of each essential step that must be taken to achieve success in the government contracting marketplace.

Why not visit GTPAC’s Useful Links today to see what steps you may have neglected to take?  There are more than 160 government contracting resources posted there!

To register to attend GTPAC’s next “Introduction to Government Contracting” seminar — either in-classroom or via a webinar — check GTPAC’s training calendar at https://gtpac.ecenterdirect.com/events.  All of GTPAC’s training seminars are free of charge.
