Although government contract opportunities have slowed, this is the perfect time to retool your marketing, realign your strategic plan and seek resource opportunities to help position you for new business and future contract opportunities.  Contact PTAC if you would like assistance with refreshing your Statement of Qualifications, revisiting your interest in set-aside programs, or need new ideas for marketing to government agencies.
