Cost Sharing Cooperative Agreement Applications

AGENCY: Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), DoD.

ACTION: Notice of solicitation for cost sharing cooperative agreement 
applications.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) issued a solicitation for 
cooperative agreement applications (SCAA) to assist state and local 
governments and other nonprofit eligible entities in establishing or 
maintaining procurement technical assistance centers (PTACs). These 
centers help business firms market their goods and services to the 
Department of Defense (DoD), other federal agencies, and state and/or 
local government agencies. Notice of the issuance of this SCAA was 
published in the March 17, 1999 Federal Register (Volume 64, Number 51, 
page 13176). This solicitation governs the submission of applications 
for calendar years 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002 and applies to all 
applications from all eligible entities, including Indian Economic 
Enterprises and Indian Tribal Organizations. The SCAA has subsequently 
been amended on March 15, 2000 and February 12, 2002. The current and 
applicable SCAA is available at the Internet Web site listed below.
    Pursuant to Section ``I'' paragraph ``J'' of the SCAA, notice is 
hereby given that limited additional funds are anticipated to be 
available in order to accept applications for additional new programs. 
However, applications will only be accepted from eligible entities that 
propose programs that will provide service to areas that are not 
currently receiving service from an existing program. This provision 
prohibiting applications from new programs proposing to service areas 
currently receiving service from an existing program is absolute, and 
the provisions of Section V, paragraph D. of the SCAA do not apply 
should a new applicant propose to service an area currently receiving 
service from an existing program.

DATES: On-line submissions of applications for new programs will be 
available on or about March 20, 2002. The closing date for the 
submission of applications is April 26, 2002 (see Section IV. paragraph 
C. regarding timely applications). Applications received after April 
26, 2002 will not be accepted.
    The SCAA is currently available for review on the Internet Web 
site: 
http://www.dla.mil/scaa/downloads.htm. Printed copies are not available 
for distribution.
    Eligible entities may only submit an application as outlined in 
Section IV of the SCAA. In order to comply with the electronic portion 
of the submission,
