Montana PTAC
The Procurement Technical Assistance Program (PTAP) was authorized by Congress in 1985 in an effort to expand the number of businesses capable of participating in the government marketplace. Administered by the Department of Defense, Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), the program provides matching funds through cooperative agreements with state and local governments and non-profit organizations for the establishment of Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTACs) to provide procurement assistance.
Montana West has hosted Flathead County’s PTAC office since 2014. Montana West’s PTAC office is a joint effort between Montana West Economic Development and the Flathead County Economic Development Authority.
Big Sky Trust Fund
The BSTF program is not currently accepting applications as they make changes to the program following the 2023 Legislative session.
