Opportunity Summary:
The Procurement Technical Assistance Program (PTAP) grant opportunity is a Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) funding announcement that supports the Department of Defense (DoD) effort to help businesses compete for government contracts by financing Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTACs). Through this program, DLA awards cost-sharing cooperative agreements to eligible organizations so they can establish a new PTAC or sustain and improve an existing one. PTACs are the local or regional service providers that offer hands-on assistance to firms pursuing federal, DoD, and other public-sector contracting opportunities, and the program is authorized under chapter 142 of title 10, United States Code.
This opportunity was released as a Solicitation for Cooperative Agreement Applications (SCAA) dated July 7, 2010, which sets the rules for how applications must be prepared and submitted. The SCAA covers the base year awards intended for Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 funding, and it also anticipates the possibility of extending support through two option periods for FY 2012 and FY 2013. In practical terms, applicants were being asked to propose a PTAC project plan and budget that could be funded initially for the base year, with the understanding that continued funding could be available later if the program and performance justified exercising those options.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically signals a closer working relationship between the federal agency and the award recipient during execution. The program is listed under CFDA 12.002, titled "Procurement Technical Assistance For Business Firms," and it falls within the funding activity category of Business and Commerce. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients are expected to contribute non-federal resources alongside the federal funds; applicants would need to consult the SCAA for the exact match structure, allowable sources, and documentation requirements.
Key timeline details in the posted opportunity show it was originally posted on July 7, 2010, with an original closing date of August 24, 2010, later extended to a current closing date of October 1, 2010. The record indicates an award ceiling of $600,000, which generally represents the maximum amount that could be awarded per agreement under this announcement, subject to availability of funds and the details of the proposed service area and scope. The opportunity was ultimately archived on October 6, 2010, reflecting the end of the submission window and active posting period.
Eligibility for applicants is limited to public and nonprofit entities rather than for-profit businesses. Specifically, the announcement identifies eligible applicants as (1) States, (2) local governments, and (3) private, nonprofit organizations, with a note that the solicitation contains the full eligibility rules and any additional conditions. The goal is to fund entities capable of operating a PTAC that delivers procurement technical assistance to business firms, so the solicitation would be the authoritative source for requirements tied to service territory, staffing, reporting, performance metrics, and how the applicant demonstrates readiness to run the center.
For applicants or interested parties needing the full announcement materials, DLA pointed to its PTAP webpage and instructed users to select "Information for PTAP funding recipients" near the bottom of the page for further information. The primary reference document is the Solicitation for Cooperative Agreement Applications (SCAA) issued July 7, 2010, as amended. For access issues or questions about retrieving the announcement electronically, the notice provides a contact point at the DLA Office of Small Business Programs via email at PTAP@dla.mil.
