The Colorado PTAC is a 501(c)(3) Corporation that has operated the Colorado Procurement Technical Assistance Center predominately as a recipient of a cooperative agreement from the Defense Logistics Agency. This past year, the responsibility for overseeing the cooperative agreement was transferred from DLA to the Department of Defense (DoD), Office of Small Business Programs (OSBP). The DoD OSBP has determined that the center names will be changed from Procurement Technical Assistance Centers to APEX Accelerators. You will see changes in the name and logo but the Colorado PTAC’s mission to educate and support businesses in Colorado has not changed.
