Opportunity Summary:
The Procurement Technical Assistance Program (PTAP) funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DLA 04122011) was issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) as a discretionary cooperative agreement competition under CFDA 12.002, Procurement Technical Assistance for Business Firms. The program is rooted in chapter 142 of title 10, United States Code, and its practical purpose is to support the establishment or continued operation of Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTACs). These centers are meant to help businesses understand and pursue government contracting opportunities, particularly within the Department of Defense (DoD) marketplace, by providing procurement-focused guidance and technical assistance.
DLA structured this as a cost-sharing cooperative agreement, meaning recipients were required to contribute matching resources rather than relying solely on federal dollars. The solicitation governing the competition was the Solicitation for Cooperative Agreement Applications (SCAA) dated April 12, 2011. Awards were intended for a base year in Fiscal Year 2011, with the possibility of continued funding through two additional option periods in Fiscal Years 2012 and 2013, contingent on program needs, performance, and available funds. The cooperative agreement format also signals that the agency expected an ongoing partnership-style relationship with awardees, not just a one-time grant payment, with shared involvement in carrying out program objectives.
Eligibility was limited to specific categories defined in the SCAA: Economic Enterprises and Tribal Organizations (as described in Section II of the solicitation). The public-facing eligibility field lists “Others,” but the controlling detail is the solicitation language, which narrows who can apply and under what definitions. In other words, an organization considering applying would have needed to confirm that it fits the solicitation’s definitions and can meet the operational expectations of running or supporting a PTAC.
In terms of funding levels, the listed award ceiling was $600,000, with an award floor of $0, indicating that funding could vary widely by applicant, proposed scope, and agency decisions. The activity category was Business and Commerce, consistent with PTAC work that focuses on strengthening firms’ capacity to compete for public-sector contracts, navigate procurement systems, and comply with contracting requirements.
The application deadline for the main competition was 5:00 p.m. EDT on June 1, 2011, and applications had to be complete, including all documents specified in SCAA Section IV(D). Late applications received after that time were not considered in the standard competition. However, the opportunity remained open for a limited additional window: applications submitted after June 1, 2011 but before 5:00 p.m. EDT on August 3, 2011 could still be considered for a Fiscal Year 2011 award at the Grants Officer’s discretion. The opportunity was ultimately archived on August 5, 2011.
For applicants or interested parties seeking the official requirements and instructions, DLA directed users to its PTAP webpage (with specific guidance to select “Information for PTAP funding recipients” near the bottom of the page) and provided access to the SCAA as the primary source document. For help obtaining or accessing the announcement, the listed point of contact was the DLA Office of Small Business Programs via email at PTAP@dla.mil.
