Kristen Williams is the second generation CEO of Single Source Procurement (SSP). SSP staffs and stocks an on-site scientific supply storeroom at the WMed Innovation Center and coordinates ongoing routine procurement for companies, as well as coordinating instrument repair and researching and negotiating one-time purchases. SSP also operates in Ann Arbor and Plymouth, Michigan. One of the first companies to take up residence in the Innovation Center when it opened in 2003, SSP has provided services to dozens of high-tech client companies over the years.

The Southwest Michigan Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) is a longtime friend of the WMed Innovation Center. When the Innovation Center first opened in 2003, the PTAC occupied a two-person office. Over the years, the PTAC has moved to a couple different offices around the Kalamazoo area. It is our pleasure to announce that the PTAC is back!
