Direct Connection to Policy Area 1 of The Illinois Commitment Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) John A. Logan College What issue or need is addressed by the effective practice? The Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) was initiated to complement the state’s overall economic development efforts by helping established Illinois firms compete for government contracting opportunities. The PTAC serves the 30 southernmost counties of Illinois. Description of the effective practice: The PTAC helps familiarize firms with the government procurement process and provides them the specific marketing and technical assistance required to do business with the government or government prime contractors. Assistance may be in the form of contract preparation, acquisition, or administration. Whether this assistance is for the provision of a Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), a military/federal specification, or the past pricing history on a contract, it can be the deciding factor in determining whether a firm is prepared to submit a qualified bid to the government. The range of services available through the Procurement Technical Assistance Center include: Providing Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) for contract requirements Providing past procurement bidding histories, including information on past pricing, previous buying activities, volume processed, and previous award winners Providing technical research information regarding Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) codes, product characteristics, manufacturers’ parts numbers, and national stock numbers (NSNs) Matching a firm’s product and service capabilities with major buying agencies and prime contractors Providing military specifications and standards required to bid on and submit government contracts and proposals Assisting with the completion of bidders mailing list applications and other essential forms Offering general counseling on the government procurement process Helping firms conform to packing, packaging, and marking specifications Providing direction with military and ISO 9000 quality control implementation and requirements Assisting with the Centralized Contractor Registration (CCR) and CAGE code process Providing direction in locating contracting information on the Internet Guidance in the SBA 8(a) program, SDB, and HUB Zone certification process Providing guidance on networking with government agencies, military installations, prime contractors, and other organizations Providing direction to minority- and women-owned businesses in the certification process How does this practice achieve sustainability? The Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) is housed under the College’s Center for Business and Industry. The program is provided through a partnership with the Department of Defense (DoD), Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO), the United States Small Business Administration’s Small Business Development Centers, and John A. Logan College as a service to Illinois Small Businesses. What are the results/measurable outcomes? In FY 05, the PTAC counseled 95 businesses. Through the assistance of the Center, 171 contracts were obtained, while 16 firms received contracts. The total dollar amount of all contracts was $25,886,028. In addition, the Center assisted with the creation of 47 jobs, while another 360 jobs were retained through the receipt of contracts. The number of counties served by the PTAC in the southern part of Illinois has grown from 17 in FY 01, to 30 in FY 05, illustrating a growing dependence on the Center’s assistance in the southern part of the state. The PTAC just received an award from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) recognizing a twenty-year milestone dating from 1984 - 2004. It reads that the Center has generated $707 million during this time frame for business and industry in contract dollars. In those same years, the entire Illinois PTAC system, which contains thirteen PTACs statewide, generated $3.1 billion in contract dollars.

Direct Connection to Policy Area 1 of The Illinois Commitment Professional Classroom/Practicum Education Preparing Students for Emplyment in the Field of Health/Mental Health Adler School of Professional Psychology What issue or need is addressed by the effective practice? Through student clinical training/practicum at the Dreikurs Psychological Services Center, as well as other external practicum sites, mental health services can be provided to those indivuduals and communities which would otherwise have little or no access to such services, or would not be able to afford such services. Description of the effective practice: Students provide mental health services to clients at the Dreikurs Psychological Service Center on the Adler School campus, as well as service as clinicians at external sites, usually serving underprivleged/ underrepresented communities. The practicum experience creates better qualified, more well rounded, and more professional students who then may seek more diverse positions of employment after graduation. How does this practice achieve sustainability? By creating more students who are better adept to serve underprivleged/underrepresented populations, more opportunity is created for those communities to seek mental health services from clinicians who are experienced and sympathetic to their cultural scenarios. This increases the likelihood that such communities will seek and be bettered by these newly available mental health services, and be better able to positively contribute as members of society. What are the results/measurable outcomes? This program increases the number of graduates employed as clinicians or other mental health workers/advocates for underprivileged communities, as well as the way clients and communities are affected.
