Our Clients Say it Best >

We want to especially point out the exceptional professionalism, knowledge, and helpfulness of our PTAC advisor, Ms. Linda Owen. We are now making serious progress and Linda was very much a catalyst for this progress, and an enjoyable catalyst to work with.

The [COVID-19 Protocol Compliance Guidance For Federal Contractors by Maria Panichelli] webinar was outstanding. A huge amount of very critical information that is so relevant for our small business and likely small businesses throughout our Nation. This webinar was so timely … We now have current and definitive information for discussion with our clients and we are able to conduct risk identification and management activities with our government clients. Thank you again, excellent webinar, very useful and a wise investment of time.

I can't say enough good things about the assistance and other resources available through PTAC. Thank you!

Just wanted to say that Thursday’s [USAID Prime] matchmaking was the most productive small business event I ever attended, and I’ve been going to small business conferences to represent large businesses for more than a decade. To me, the most useful element was that we were able to review SB profiles and select the businesses that looked like they had the closest fit to our work. On Thursday, I spoke to at least eight partners I was optimistic about! Thanks again for putting this together.

I am grateful for my PTAC counselor Michele McCoy for her assistance and sharing her vast knowledge of government contracting so generously. She guided us successfully through unfamiliar processes and attaining our first federal contract. Michele has been a help each time I called, but on several occasions her willingness to go above and beyond has made the difference in our contracting efforts success. She was instrumental with resolving complications we had with an SBA 8(a) renewal. The contracting officer incorrectly entered the contract in SAM.gov and it became quite an entanglement. There was a short window of just a few days to resolve the issues. With Michele’s guidance, we were able to have the contract renewed successfully. She helps to educate and has enabled us to engage more broadly in federal contracting. Thank you, Michele McCoy.

We were a first-time sponsor and weren’t sure what to expect. Not only did the [DCSA Matchmaker] event deliver a significant quantity of opportunities, but we found that the quality of these meetings far exceeded our expectations
