ACPAC is to generate interest among our clients in
bidding on and receiving government procurement awards.To provide specialized
and professional assistance to individuals and businesses seeking to learn about
contracting and subcontracting opportunities, actively seeking contracting and
subcontracting opportunities, and/or performing under contracts and subcontracts
with DoD, other federal agencies, or state and local
governments.
The secondary mission of ACPAC is to generate job
opportunities in the area we service, through either:
Receipt of new government
procurement, which results in generation of new jobs.
Receipt of new government
procurement, which results in planned layoffs being delayed or canceled, thereby
retaining jobs.
A third mission is the introduction of clients in our
service area to new technologies and the benefits this technology can provide
them, regardless of whether the source is government or
commercial.
