Notice of Solicitation for Cooperative Agreement Applications

AGENCY: Defense Logistics Agency, DOD.

ACTION: Announcement of solicitation for cost sharing cooperation 
agreement applications.

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

SUMMARY: The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) has issued a solicitation 
for cooperative agreement applications (SCAA) to assist State and local 
governments and others nonprofit eligible entities in establishing or 
maintaining procurement technical assistance centers (PTACs) as 
authorized by 10 U.S.C. chapter 142. These centers help business firms 
market their products and services to the Department of Defense (DoD), 
other Federal agencies, and State and/or local government agencies. 
This solicitation applies to all applications from all eligible 
entities, including Indian Economic Enterprises and Indian Tribal 
Organizations. This solicitation will govern the submission of 
applications for calendar years 2003 through 2007, inclusive. The 
closing date for the submission of applications is May 6, 2003.
    On December 13, 2002, a notice was published in the Federal 
Register announcing that DLA intended to issue a SCAA and made 
available a draft SCAA for review and comment. In response to several 
comments received, DLA subsequently revised the SCAA and issued a 
second notice that was published in the February 14, 2003, Federal 
Register which made available the revised SCAA for review and comment. 
No significant comments were received. Consequently, only minor 
additional editorial changes have been made to the draft SCAA, which 
DLA has now issued as a final SCAA.
    The final SCAA is available on the Internet Web site: http://www.dla.mil/db/scaa2003.pdf.
    Printed copies are not available for distribution.
    Eligible entities may only submit an application as outlined in 
section IV of the SCAA. To submit an application and to receive an 
award, eligible entities must be registered in the Central Contractor 
Registration (CCR) and have a Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) 
Code. Registration can be accomplished online at http:www.ccr.gov. Upon 
completion and acceptance of the registration information, the CCR 
system will provide a CAGE Code.
    In order to comply with the electronic portion of the submission, 
applicants must obtain a log in account and password from DLA. To 
obtain these, applicants must furnish the Grants Officer written 
evidence that they meet the criteria of an eligible entity as set forth 
in paragraph 19 of section II of the SCAA. This information should be 
mailed or otherwise delivered to: HQ, Defense Logistics Agency, Small & 
Disadvantaged Business Utilization Office, (DB Room 1127), 8725 John J. 
Kingman Road, Ft. Belvoir, VA 22060-6221.
