Norcal PTAC

The Norcal PTAC is part of Humboldt State University’s Sponsored Programs Foundation. Headquarters are located on campus in Arcata, CA. The program serves the business community in fifteen northern California counties, providing free one-on-one consulting and non-credit education. Funding for this program comes from the federal Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), and the California Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GO-Biz). Humboldt State University has hosted the PTAC program since 2013.

Norcal PTAC’s mission is to advance entrepreneurship and economic growth through procurement technical assistance for all businesses in Northern California. We help our clients identify, obtain, and perform on prime and subcontracting opportunities with local, state, tribal and federal governments. We support all businesses in our service area, with an outreach emphasis on underserved businesses such as women, minority, LGBTQ+, and veteran owned businesses, and businesses located in low-wealth, rural, or disaster impacted areas.

Norcal PTAC’s current service area includes Del Norte, Humboldt, Shasta, Siskiyou, Trinity, Mendocino, Sonoma, Napa, Solano, Marin, Contra Costa, San Francisco, Alameda, San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties in Northern California.
