Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a continuation action under the Procurement Technical Assistance Program (PTAP) and is limited strictly to organizations that already hold an active PTAP cooperative agreement. It is not an open competition for new applicants. Eligibility is restricted to current recipients only, and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Grants Officer will notify each eligible organization individually. If an organization did not receive a notification from the Grants Officer, it should assume it is not eligible to submit under this notice.
The purpose of the announcement is to allow DLA to consider exercising option periods that are already built into existing PTAP cooperative agreements. In other words, DLA is signaling its intent to potentially extend or continue current PTAP awards through an option process, rather than issuing brand-new awards. Even so, the notice makes it clear that posting the opportunity does not obligate the Government to exercise any option. Each option decision will be made one program at a time and will depend on several practical factors, including whether the recipient has complied with the cooperative agreement terms, how well the program has performed, whether it is meeting program execution goals, and whether funding is available.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the agency expects substantial involvement or coordination with recipients compared with a standard grant. The program is categorized under Business and Commerce and is associated with CFDA 12.002, Procurement Technical Assistance for Business Firms. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so recipients should be prepared to document the non-federal share consistent with their existing agreement and the option guidance.
Key administrative details include a posted date of August 4, 2011, and an archive date of August 29, 2012. The award ceiling is listed as $600,000, with an award floor of $0, reflecting that amounts can vary by program and that exercising an option is not guaranteed. The application deadline is not a single public date; it is set individually by the Grants Officer and communicated directly to each eligible recipient. Submissions must be completed by the exact time specified in that notice from the Grants Officer, and recipients are expected to follow the specific instructions they receive.
For instructions on how to prepare and submit the option application, recipients are directed to Section VIII of the SCAA, which outlines the option application process and serves as the primary procedural reference for this action. Recipients should also rely on the individualized letter sent by the Grants Officer, since it may include program-specific requirements, timelines, and any supplemental directions. The reference document is available at http://www.dla.mil/db/documents/SCAA2010.pdf.
