Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) Symposium

The Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) Symposium is a government contracting event hosted by the Utah Public Procurement Place, scheduled for October 16, 2019, from 7:30 AM to 1:00 PM MDT at Salt Lake Community College's Miller Campus in Sandy, Utah. The event, identified with solicitation number SK20010, was open for information gathering from September 26, 2019, to October 15, 2019, with Solomon Kingston (skingston@utah.gov) serving as the primary contact. This symposium focuses on providing comprehensive information about government contracting opportunities across nearly 200 commodity codes, encompassing diverse sectors such as agricultural equipment, healthcare services, information technology, and construction materials. The primary objective appears to be educating and connecting potential vendors with government procurement processes, offering insights into the intricacies of state-level contracting. The symposium serves as an informational and networking platform, designed to help businesses understand and navigate government procurement landscapes across multiple industries.

While the document does not explicitly detail specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations, the comprehensive commodity code list suggests an inclusive approach to potential vendors. The symposium appears intended to support businesses of various sizes and backgrounds in understanding government contracting opportunities. No specific incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requirements are mentioned in the provided documentation. Similarly, no precise award values or budget ranges are explicitly stated. The event seems structured as an educational and networking opportunity rather than a direct procurement solicitation, with the primary goal of expanding businesses' understanding of government contracting processes in Utah. The broad range of commodity codes indicates a strategic approach to connecting diverse businesses with potential government procurement opportunities across multiple sectors.
