The PTAC and SBA have joined forces to develop a groundbreaking program to prepare companies for Infrastructure Bill contracts. The Infrastructure Bill was signed into law by the Biden Administration and will provide unprecedented financing for our nation's infrastructure. Illinois will receive a substantial portion of this bill's contracting dollars. Therefore, the Illinois PTAC and Illinois SBA District Office have designed a program to assist Illinois small businesses, of any governmental contracting understanding, with registering to do business with Illinois State and Federal agencies; instruction on how to find, bid, and manage Infrastructure Bill contracts; build teaming arrangements with other Illinois companies with complementary skill sets; and introduce Illinois businesses to procuring agencies and prime contractors.
