The Georgia Tech Procurement Assistance Center (GTPAC) participated in the recent University System of Georgia (USG) Procurement Expo.  Hosted on Oct. 15, 2012 by the University of Georgia, the expo featured officials and speakers from the purchasing offices of most of the state’s universities and colleges, as well as the state’s purchasing arm, the Department of Administrative Services (DOAS).
