PTAC director welcomes 2006, requests your assistance in reporting contract dollars

As we close out 2005, I strongly believe that the PTAC has set another record for contract awards and contract dollars. Documenting this will all depend on you, the client. As I do each year, I fervently ask you to complete our PTAC Awards Survey and return it to me. The information you share on the survey is kept confidential and is seen by only me. Your contract awards are added to those of other clients and only the totals, not company names, are submitted to the Department of Defense (DoD). So thank you in advance for completing the survey. Click here to access the PTAC Awards Survey. Please print, complete and either fax or mail it to: Tom Elam, SBTDC / PTAC, 5 West Hargett St., Raleigh, NC 27601-1348, Fax: (919) 715-7777. Your response to this survey helps keep the PTAC supporting you … a North Carolina business. Read More...
