Happy Holidays from your Arkansas Procurement Assistance Center (APAC) Team!
 
We at APAC are happy to be able to work with some of the best people in Arkansas. Seeing your businesses succeed in government contracting is what drives us. 

We've seen a lot of contracts awarded to clients this year. Some of those clients were featured in success stories. If you missed our latest one, you can find it here. 

We invite you to look at the pictures featured in this newsletter. It's filled with photos of your APAC team members and fellow APAC clients. See if you spot anyone you know! 

As we close this year, we look forward to serving our Arkansas small business clients in 2019. We wish you all the best in your government contracting endeavors. Season's Greetings and Happy New Year!
