Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a continuation action under the Department of Defense Procurement Technical Assistance Program (PTAP), administered by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). Rather than a new competition, it covers the first option period for cooperative agreements that were originally awarded under the April 7, 2008 solicitation for cooperative agreement applications (SCAA). In practical terms, DLA is signaling that it may extend funding for currently funded Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTACs) if they meet the requirements for the option period. The program authority is cited as 10 U.S.C. Chapter 142, and the CFDA number associated with the program is 12.002 (Procurement Technical Assistance for Business Firms).
The key point is that this notice does not guarantee continued funding. DLA states it "intends" to exercise the first option period, but the Government is not committed to do so. Each PTAC will be considered individually, and the option decision will be made on a program-by-program basis. The factors DLA will weigh include whether the recipient has complied with the cooperative agreement terms, how well the program has performed, whether it has met program execution goals, and whether funds are available. This makes the option period essentially a performance-based continuation where documentation and results matter.
Eligibility is limited to organizations already operating a PTAC under PTAP. The listing labels eligible applicants as "Others," but the eligibility explanation clarifies that it is for current PTAP recipients only, meaning new applicants that are not already running a PTAC under this program would not be eligible for this particular action. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates an ongoing federal involvement or substantial federal participation compared to a standard grant, and it includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, so recipients should be prepared to document their matching contributions as required under their agreements and the SCAA.
From a funding and scale perspective, the announcement anticipates up to 89 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $20,000,000 across all awards. The stated award ceiling is $600,000, which suggests individual PTAC option-period amounts can vary but are not expected to exceed that level under this continuation action. The activity category is listed as regional development, reflecting PTACs' role in strengthening local and regional economies by helping businesses pursue government contracting opportunities.
The application and submission requirements are driven by the original SCAA, specifically Section VIII, which is identified as the controlling section for the option process. DLA emphasizes that all documentation listed in Section VIII is required to support an award for the first option period, so recipients are expected to follow that checklist closely. Deadlines are not presented as a single public closing date; instead, both the original and current closing dates are described as "as determined by the Grants Officer." Recipients are instructed to rely on the email provided by the Grants Officer for the exact due time and any additional directions, and to submit the completed option-period application by the deadline stated in that email.
For questions or issues related to the option application process, DLA provides specific points of contact within the grants office. The named contacts include Mr. Chris Hall (Christopher.Hall@dla.mil, 703-767-3297), Ms. Yolanda M. Webb (Yolanda.Webb@dla.mil, 703-767-6179), and Ms. Christina Young (Christina.Young@dla.mil, 703-767-1656). The contact section also references Yolanda Moore as a procurement analyst at 703-767-6179, which aligns with the same phone number provided for Ms. Webb, so recipients should use the contact details supplied in their official email instructions if there is any ambiguity.
