Notice of Amendment No. 003 to the Solicitation for Cooperative 
Agreement Applications (SCAA) Issued on May 5, 2009

AGENCY: Defense Logistics Agency, DOD.

ACTION: Amended solicitation for cost sharing cooperative agreement 
applications.

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

SUMMARY: The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) executes the Department of 
Defense (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 DoD, other Federal agencies, and state and local 
governments. The Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2010 (Pub. 
L. 111-118) provided funds for the continuance of the program in FY 
2010, 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).
    The Solicitation for Cooperative Agreement Applications (SCAA) 
issued May 5, 2009, is amended to allow acceptance of applications for 
new 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 in the event that funds become 
available for FY 2010 awards. Funding priority for FY 2010 will be 
given to exercising the options of the current cooperative agreements 
under the PTA program.
    Currently, areas not covered are limited to fifty percent of the 
Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Western Region and fifty percent of the 
BIA Great Plains Region. In the event that any option is not exercised, 
other service areas will become available. Note that service areas of 
existing programs whose options are exercised may not be duplicated. 
Although applications may be submitted for all service areas, 
applications will only be considered from eligible entities that 
propose programs to service areas currently not covered or areas that 
become available in the event that an option is not exercised. 
Applicants may be provided the opportunity to revise applications to 
cover service areas not included in initial applications submitted in 
response to this amendment. In any event, new program awards are 
contingent on FY 2010 funding becoming available.
    The complete SCAA issued on May 5, 2009, and Amendment No. 003 
issued July 27, 2010, are available at http://www.dla.mil/db/scaa.asp. 
Printed copies are not available for distribution. Applications must be 
submitted to DLA by 5 p.m., Eastern Time, on August 27, 2010. This 
opportunity was posted to Grants.gov on July 27, 2010. The Grants.gov 
Funding Opportunity Number for applications is: DLA-050509-002. Details 
on submitting an application are available in Section IV of the SCAA 
issued May 5, 2009.
