Opportunity Summary:
The Procurement Technical Assistance Program (PTAP) grant notice is a Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) announcement about extending funding under options that already exist in current PTAP cooperative agreements. In practical terms, this is not an open competition for new organizations. It is an option-year action tied to prior awards, meaning DLA is considering whether to continue support for existing PTAP recipients based on how well each agreement has been carried out and whether funding is available.
Eligibility is strictly limited to organizations that already hold an active PTAP cooperative agreement with DLA. No other applicants can apply, even if they would otherwise qualify for federal assistance. Instead of posting a universal deadline, the process is handled directly by the Grants Officer, who will individually notify each eligible recipient with instructions and a submission timeline. The announcement also emphasizes that it does not obligate the government to make any award or extension. DLA will decide on an agreement-by-agreement basis whether to exercise the option, looking at compliance with the cooperative agreement terms, documented performance, and the availability of appropriated funds.
This opportunity uses the cooperative agreement funding instrument, which generally indicates an ongoing partnership-style relationship where the federal agency may have substantial involvement compared to a standard grant. The funding activity category is Business and Commerce, and it is associated with CFDA number 12.002, Procurement Technical Assistance for Business Firms. The notice indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, so recipients should expect to provide a non-federal share consistent with the terms of their existing agreement and the option guidance they receive.
On funding size, the posted award ceiling is $600,000 and the award floor is listed as $0, which typically signals that the amount can vary by recipient and by the specific option-year terms, with the final level depending on DLA decisions and funding availability. The announcement is categorized as discretionary funding, and it is identified by Funding Opportunity Number "DLA PTAP OPTION1" with the title "Procurement Technical Assistance Program (PTAP)."
For application requirements, recipients are directed to follow the documentation instructions in Section IV, Paragraph C of solicitation number DLA 20130412, along with any additional details provided in the individualized letter from the Grants Officer. Applicants must submit a complete application package by the deadline specified in that letter, not by a general closing date listed on the public notice. For questions, technical issues accessing the announcement, or concerns about the process, the point of contact is the DLA Office of Small Business Programs at PTAP@dla.mil.
