Cost Sharing Cooperative Agreement Applications

AGENCY: Defense Logistics Agency, DoD.

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

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

SUMMARY: The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) executes the DoD 
Procurement Technical Assistance Program by awarding cost sharing 
cooperative agreements to assist states, local governments, private 
nonprofit organizations, tribal organizations and economic enterprises 
in establishing or maintaining procurement technical assistance centers 
(PTACs) pursuant to Chapter 142 of title 10, United States Code. These 
centers help business firms market their goods and services to the 
Department of Defense (DoD), other federal agencies, and state and 
local governments. The Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance, and 
Continuing Appropriations Act, 2009 (Pub. L. 110-329) provided funds 
for the continuance of the program in FY 2009, requiring DoD to make 
available not less than $3.6 million for applicants that meet the 
definition of 10 U.S.C 2411 (1) (D).
    At this time, limited additional funds are available and 
applications for additional new programs can be accepted. Therefore, 
notice is given that a new Solicitation for Cooperative Agreement 
Applications (SCAA) will be issued seeking applications for programs 
from eligible entities meeting the definition listed in Section II, 
paragraph 18.d. (Economic Enterprise) or paragraph 18.e. (Tribal 
Organization) of the SCAA. Further, 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. The two existing PTACs service the following four Bureau of 
Indian Affairs Regions: Alaska, Eastern Oklahoma, Northwest, and 
Southern Plains. The provision prohibiting applications proposing to 
service areas currently covered by an existing program is absolute, and 
the provisions of Paragraph D. Duplicate Coverage of Section ``V'', of 
the SCAA do not apply. Applications received from entities not meeting 
the definitions listed in Section II, paragraph 18.d. (Economic 
Enterprise) or 18.e. (Tribal Organization) of the SCAA and/or proposing 
areas receiving service from an existing program will be neither 
accepted nor evaluated. Otherwise, the provisions of Paragraph D. 
Duplicate Coverage of Section ``V'', of the SCAA will apply when any 
unacceptable duplicate coverage is proposed.
    The SCAA will be available for review on or about April 30, 2009 on 
the Internet Web site: http://www.dla.mil/db/scaa2009.pdf. Printed 
copies are not available for distribution. Applications must be 
submitted to DLA by 5 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 12, 2009. A notice 
will be posted at Grants.gov announcing the SCAA with details on 
submitting an application.
