Opportunity Information: Apply for DLA 201704
The Procurement Technical Assistance Program - Midwest BIA Region (Funding Opportunity Number DLA 201704) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Defense through the Defense Logistics Agency. It is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project during the performance period, such as coordinating on priorities, providing program guidance, and monitoring results more closely than a standard grant. The program falls under the Business and Commerce activity category and is associated with CFDA 12.002.
The core purpose of the opportunity is to operate a Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) that will provide procurement-related assistance across the Midwest Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) region. In practical terms, the funded organization would be responsible for delivering hands-on technical assistance intended to help eligible clients understand, pursue, and succeed in government contracting and related procurement opportunities. While the short description provided does not list specific tasks, PTAC work commonly includes helping businesses or organizations identify contract opportunities, understand solicitation requirements, prepare bids and proposals, navigate registrations and compliance requirements, and build capacity to perform successfully on awarded contracts. Because the service area is defined as the Midwest BIA region, the center would be expected to focus its outreach and support activities within that geographic and community scope.
Eligibility is limited to Native American tribal governments that are federally recognized and Native American tribal organizations other than federally recognized tribal governments. This targeted eligibility indicates the program is designed to ensure procurement assistance infrastructure is led by, and tailored for, tribal entities and tribal-serving organizations in the region, with an emphasis on strengthening participation in the federal marketplace.
The anticipated funding structure is a single award, with one expected recipient. The award ceiling is $600,000, meaning the funding for the selected applicant can be up to that amount. The opportunity was created on August 10, 2017, and the original application closing date was October 17, 2017, establishing the historical application window for this specific solicitation.
In summary, this opportunity funds one eligible tribal government or tribal organization to run a PTAC serving the Midwest BIA region under a cooperative agreement with the Defense Logistics Agency, with up to $600,000 available to provide structured procurement technical assistance aimed at improving access to and success in government contracting.Apply for DLA 201704
