JARI PTAC Receives Outstanding Rating

Linda Thomson

President

Congratulations to the JARI Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) program on receiving an outstanding rating during the most recent annual review. Each year the PTAC program is evaluated by the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) in four core categories including Performance, Management, Technical and Financial. The rating of "Outstanding" is the highest possible rating and is defined as "The recipient has an exemplary program that complies with the cooperative agreement's terms and conditions and contains multiple strengths. The PTAC could serve as a model for other recipients." The JARI PTAC received the outstanding rating in each category as well as overall.

Congratulations once again to Lenora Leasure, PTAC Program Manager, and the entire JARI PTAC team.
