The SBA operates a Procurement Center Representatives (PCR) program to assist small businesses in obtaining federal contracts.  PCRs are located at various SBA procurement area offices and federal buying centers around the country.  There are three types of PCRs: 

Traditional Procurement Center Representatives-TPCRs increase the small business share of federal procurement awards by initiating small business set-asides, reserving procurements for competition among small business firms; providing small business sources to federal buying activities; and counseling small firms.

Breakout Procurement Center Representatives -BPCRs advocate for the breakout of items for full and open competition to effect savings to the federal government.

Commercial Marketing Representatives -CMRs identify, develop and market small businesses to large prime contractors and assist small businesses in identifying and obtaining subcontracts.
