Opportunity Information: Apply for DLA 202201B
The Procurement Technical Assistance Program (PTAP) Option Period for Existing PTACs grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DLA 202201B) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity administered by the Department of Defense through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). It is designed specifically for organizations that already hold an active Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) award and are seeking to continue their work into an option period. In practical terms, this announcement is not meant for brand-new applicants trying to start a PTAC from scratch. Instead, it supports the continuation of existing PTAC operations by guiding current awardees through the next phase of funding under their ongoing cooperative agreement.
This opportunity uses a Cooperative Agreement funding instrument, which generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the funded activities, beyond simply awarding funds and receiving reports. In a PTAC context, that typically aligns with the nature of the program, where performance, service delivery, and program objectives are closely monitored and coordinated to ensure centers are meeting the governmentwide goals of helping businesses compete for and perform government contracts. The activity category is listed as Business and Commerce, reflecting the PTAC mission of strengthening the capacity of businesses (often small businesses) to navigate federal, state, and local procurement processes.
The announcement is explicitly described as "Step 2 of the option period application" for existing PTAC award recipients. That wording signals a structured application process where current PTACs complete a second-step submission as part of exercising an option period. Option periods are commonly built into multi-year federal awards, allowing the government to continue funding for additional periods based on performance and continued need, without requiring a full recompetition each time. In this case, Step 2 likely corresponds to a later stage of the continuation/renewal package where the existing awardee updates program plans, budgets, performance information, or other required materials so DLA can decide whether to activate the option period.
Key administrative details include a CFDA (now commonly referred to under Assistance Listings) number of 12.002, which identifies the Procurement Technical Assistance Program within federal assistance catalogs. The opportunity was created on August 18, 2021, and the original closing date is listed as July 30, 2022. The expected number of awards is 95, which is consistent with a nationwide network of existing PTACs being eligible to apply for continuation funding during an option period cycle rather than a small number of brand-new awards. The listed award ceiling is $1,000,000, indicating the maximum amount anticipated per award under this opportunity, though actual award amounts would typically vary by center depending on factors like coverage area, scope of services, performance, and available appropriations.
Eligibility is labeled as "Others," with a note to consult additional eligibility language in the full announcement. Based on the title and description, the practical eligibility constraint is that applicants must already be PTAC award recipients applying for an option period (not new entities). Overall, the purpose of the opportunity is straightforward: it provides a formal mechanism for current PTAC cooperative agreement recipients to submit the required continuation materials so the government can evaluate performance and proceed with funding for the next option period.Apply for DLA 202201B
