Opportunity Summary:
The Procurement Technical Assistance Program (PTAP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: DLA 20130412 IDAHO) is a discretionary, cost-sharing cooperative agreement administered by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). Its purpose is to establish a Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) that will deliver hands-on procurement and contracting assistance to businesses in Idaho. The broader PTAP program was created under Section 1241 of the Department of Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1985 (Public Law 98-525) to increase the number of capable firms that can compete for and perform government contracts. In practice, this means helping more businesses understand, pursue, and win contracting opportunities not only with the Department of Defense, but also with other federal agencies and with state and local government buyers.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which generally signals an ongoing partnership and substantial involvement by the federal agency during the period of performance rather than a simple pass-through grant. The opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the applicant must provide non-federal resources alongside federal funds to support PTAC operations. The listed maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $600,000, with no stated minimum (award floor of $0), suggesting that funding levels can vary based on the proposed scope and budget and the program office decisions.
The activity category is listed as Business and Commerce and the CFDA program number is 12.002, Procurement Technical Assistance for Business Firms. The core deliverable is the establishment and operation of a PTAC that functions as a local resource for Idaho businesses seeking information, training, and technical assistance related to government contracting. Typical PTAC services under PTAP commonly include guidance on becoming contract-ready, understanding solicitation requirements, navigating registrations and compliance expectations, identifying relevant opportunities, and improving competitiveness in bidding, although the precise expectations, service area design, and performance requirements are detailed in the official Solicitation for Cooperative Agreement Applications (SCAA).
Eligible applicants are broad and include state governments, local governments, private nonprofit organizations, economic enterprises, and tribal organizations. The announcement notes that applicants should consult the definition of an eligible entity and full eligibility details in Section II of the SCAA (Solicitation for Cooperative Agreement Applications) referenced as SCAA number DLA 20130412. The same SCAA also contains the full program introduction (Section I) and the full set of requirements applicants must follow, and it is made available via the DLA Small Business Programs website at http://www.dla.mil/SmallBusiness/Documents/SCAA2013.pdf.
