Opportunity Summary:
The Procurement Technical Assistance Program (PTAP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: DLA PTAP OPTION FY16) is a discretionary funding announcement from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) that supports business and commerce activities under CFDA 12.002, Procurement Technical Assistance for Business Firms. Rather than opening a new competition to the public, this notice is specifically about DLA exercising option periods under existing PTAP cooperative agreements. In practical terms, it is a continuation or extension mechanism for organizations that already hold PTAP cooperative agreements, allowing DLA to keep funding and managing ongoing PTAP work through the cooperative agreement structure.
Eligibility is tightly restricted. Only current PTAP cooperative agreement recipients may apply for this funding action, and the DLA Grants Officer will individually notify each eligible organization. There is no general, publicly stated application deadline that outside parties can follow, because both the original and current closing dates are handled through direct notification and instructions in a letter sent by the Grants Officer. If an organization is not already a PTAP cooperative agreement recipient, it is not eligible for this opportunity and should not expect to be able to submit an application under this specific funding number.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means DLA expects substantial involvement during the performance of the funded activities compared with a standard grant. The listed award ceiling is $600,000 and the award floor is $0, indicating that individual option awards could vary widely depending on the scope of work, available funds, and the terms of the existing agreements being continued. The opportunity also includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients should plan to contribute a defined share of program costs in accordance with the terms of their existing PTAP agreements and the option instructions provided by the Grants Officer.
Key administrative details include a posted date and creation date of June 24, 2015, and an associated solicitation reference noted as "Solicitation Number DLA 20130412" under the additional information link. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the DLA Office of Small Business Programs provides a contact point at PTAP@dla.mil, primarily for assistance with obtaining or viewing the full notice rather than for changing eligibility or deadlines. Overall, this opportunity is best understood as an administrative option action to continue funding for existing PTAP performers, not as a new open solicitation for new entrants.
