Body
94 PTACs – with over 300 local offices – form a nationwide network of dedicated procurement professionals working to help local businesses compete successfully in the government marketplace. PTACs are expert in helping you get registered on the System for Award Management (SAM), including CAGE codes and DUNS numbers, without which your U.S. Air Force SBIR / STTR proposal will not be considered. These services are essential and not something that APEX handles in detail. As a result, APEX is highly collaborative with PTACs and recommends connecting with your local PTAC for all questions, issues or needs for help with registrations.
