As a member of the Alabama Procurement Technical Assistance Program, the UAHuntsville Procurement Technical Assistance Center provides assistance to small businesses interested in government contracting. We provide assistance in registrations and certifications required for government contracting as well as training in proposal writing. Technical assistance includes a solicitation bid matching email service that is a valuable tool for business development.
