The Montana Procurement Technical Assistance Center is a statewide program focused on a mission to provide local area businesses with an understanding of the requirements of government contracting and the marketing know-how they need to obtain and successfully perform federal, state and local government contracts, and support government agencies in reaching and working with the suppliers they need.

In 2001, the Montana PTAC accepted a national award for "Center of the Year" presented by the Association of Government Marketing Assistance Specialists (AGMAS). This award recognized the Montana PTAC as a leader in the area of government procurement assistance for the United States.

The assistance provided by the Montana PTAC has helped bring more than $100 Million in government contracts into the state of Montana for more than three consecutive years.

In 2001, Montana PTAC clients collectively credited the program with the creation or retention of more than 2,400 jobs in the Treasure State.
