Opportunity Summary:
The Procurement Technical Assistance Program (PTAP) opportunity is a Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) cooperative agreement funding announcement that supports the Department of Defense (DoD) goal of helping businesses compete for government contracts. Through cost-sharing cooperative agreements, DLA funds the establishment or continued operation of Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTACs), which provide hands-on assistance to business firms seeking to market and sell goods and services to DoD, other federal agencies, and state and local governments. The program operates under Chapter 142 of Title 10 of the United States Code, and the assistance delivered by PTACs typically includes guidance on navigating government procurement systems, identifying contracting opportunities, and improving readiness to bid on and perform government contracts.
This specific announcement reflects FY 2010 funding conditions set by the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2010 (Public Law 111-118). That law continued PTAP funding and required DoD to make available no less than $3.6 million for applicants meeting the definition referenced in 10 U.S.C. 2411(1)(D), which aligns with certain Indian and tribal-related entities. The opportunity is tied to a Solicitation for Cooperative Agreement Applications (SCAA) originally issued May 5, 2009, later amended (Amendment No. 003 dated July 27, 2010) to accept applications for new PTAC programs if FY 2010 funds became available. A key point is that DLA indicated a strong preference to first fund the continuation options of existing PTAP cooperative agreements before making new awards.
Eligibility in this amendment focuses on two categories of applicants: Economic Enterprises and Tribal Organizations. An Economic Enterprise is defined as an Indian-owned commercial, industrial, or business activity (for-profit or nonprofit) with at least 51 percent Indian ownership, as determined under the Secretary of the Interior definition. A Tribal Organization is the recognized governing body of an Indian tribe or a legally established Indian organization that is controlled, sanctioned, chartered by the tribal governing body, or democratically elected by the adult members of the community it serves, with maximum Indian participation in all phases of activities. If a cooperative agreement would benefit more than one tribe, each tribe must approve the arrangement before an award can be made.
Service area coverage is central to how applications are considered. At the time of the amendment, the only areas explicitly identified as not covered were limited to about fifty percent of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Western Region and fifty percent of the BIA Great Plains Region. Additional service areas could open up only if DLA did not exercise an option on an existing cooperative agreement. Importantly, applicants cannot duplicate service areas already served by existing programs whose options are exercised. While DLA allowed applicants to submit proposals for all service areas, it stated that it would only consider proposals that target currently uncovered areas or areas that become available due to an option not being exercised. Applicants might also be invited to revise their applications to match newly available service areas that were not part of their original submission. Any new awards under this amendment were contingent on FY 2010 funding actually becoming available.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant-type opportunity awarded as a cooperative agreement, meaning the government typically expects substantial involvement in program direction or oversight compared to a standard grant. Cost sharing or matching is required. The announcement lists an award ceiling of $600,000. The CFDA number associated with the program is 12.002 (Procurement Technical Assistance for Business Firms). The funding opportunity number is DLA 050509 002, and the activity area is categorized under Business and Commerce. Key dates provided include a posting date of July 27, 2010, and a closing date of August 27, 2010, with the notice later archived on September 8, 2010.
Applicants were directed to follow the application instructions in Section IV of the May 5, 2009 SCAA and to review the July 27, 2010 Amendment No. 003 for changes and conditions. The full documents were posted on DLA's site at http://www.dla.mil/db/scaa.asp. For access issues or questions, the DLA Office of Small Business Programs provided a contact email: PTAP@dla.mil.
