Opportunity Summary:
The Procurement Technical Assistance Program (PTAP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: DLA 20130412 KENTUCKY) is a discretionary, cost-sharing cooperative agreement offered by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to establish a Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) that will serve businesses in Kentucky. The core purpose is to expand the number of businesses that are able to compete for and perform government contracts by giving them practical, hands-on assistance and training related to contracting with the Department of Defense (DoD), other federal agencies, and state and local governments. PTAP was originally authorized under section 1241 of the DoD Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1985 (Public Law 98-525), and it operates through DLA as the administering agency.
Under this opportunity, DLA provides financial assistance to support a PTAC that functions as a local resource hub for procurement-related guidance. In practical terms, the PTAC is expected to help Kentucky companies better understand government procurement systems and requirements, identify contracting opportunities, and strengthen their ability to submit responsive bids and proposals. While the announcement text does not list a full menu of required services, PTAC support typically centers on technical assistance and training tied directly to government contracting, such as navigating solicitations, registrations, compliance expectations, and improving overall readiness to sell to public sector buyers.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which generally signals that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in guiding or overseeing the project during the period of performance. The opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient must contribute non-federal resources toward the project as specified in the Solicitation for Cooperative Agreement Applications (SCAA). The maximum potential award amount listed is up to $600,000, with no stated minimum award floor.
Eligibility is broad and includes states, local governments, private nonprofit organizations, economic enterprises, and tribal organizations. The announcement directs applicants to Section II of the SCAA for the precise definition of an eligible entity and any additional conditions that may apply. This makes the SCAA an essential document for understanding the full scope of expectations, required application components, evaluation criteria, and the specific cost-share framework.
Key dates for this archived opportunity show it was posted and created on February 28, 2014, with an application deadline of April 30, 2014, and an archive date of May 1, 2014. The associated CFDA number is 12.002 (Procurement Technical Assistance for Business Firms), and the activity category is listed as Business and Commerce. Applicants or interested parties who cannot access the full announcement electronically were instructed to contact the DLA Office of Small Business Programs at PTAP@dla.mil.
