History: The Angelina College Procurement Assistance Center (ACPAC) was established by Angelina College on 1 July 1992, with the assistance of Congressman Charles Wilson of the former 2nd Congressional District. The Angelina College Procurement Assistance Center (ACPAC) is a non-profit organization that assists the businesses of East Texas (Texas Forest Country) in competing for and wining government contracts from the federal, state, and local government agencies. ACPAC, which serves as a Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC), is funded in part through a cooperative agreement from the Department of Defense (DOD) through a program that is administered by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The content of any written materials or verbal communications of the PTAC does not necessarily reflect the official views of or imply endorsement by DOD or DLA.
