Opportunity Information: Apply for DLA 201902
The Procurement Technical Assistance - Midwest BIA Region opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DLA 201902) was a discretionary federal funding program offered by the Department of Defense through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). Created on March 25, 2019, and originally closing on May 27, 2019, the program was designed to strengthen business and commerce outcomes by providing procurement-related technical assistance specifically within the Midwest Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) region. The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, coordination on priorities, reporting expectations, performance oversight, or collaboration on deliverables), rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal ongoing interaction.
The core purpose of the award was to deliver procurement technical assistance, meaning hands-on support that helps eligible entities better understand, pursue, and manage government contracting opportunities. While the summary description is brief, procurement technical assistance typically includes helping clients identify contracting opportunities, understand federal acquisition rules and requirements, prepare responsive bids or proposals, navigate registrations and compliance steps, and improve internal systems that enable successful contract performance. In the context of the Midwest BIA region, the practical intent is to ensure that Native American communities and organizations in that geographic service area have access to specialized expertise that increases their ability to compete for and carry out contracts with federal, state, and local government buyers, including defense-related procurement where relevant.
Eligibility was limited to Native American tribal governments that are federally recognized and Native American tribal organizations other than federally recognized tribal governments. This focus aligns the program with capacity-building and economic development objectives in Indian Country, targeting entities that can directly serve tribal communities and organizations. The program was categorized under the business and commerce activity area and listed under CFDA 12.002, signaling its place within the broader set of Department of Defense assistance programs and economic/industrial support activities.
The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1), with an award ceiling of $750,000. With only one expected recipient and a relatively substantial ceiling, the structure suggests a regional service model where one awardee would likely coordinate and deliver procurement assistance across the defined Midwest BIA footprint, rather than multiple smaller awards distributed among many organizations. In practice, that often means establishing a centralized program office or hub-and-spoke delivery approach, providing outreach, training, and individualized advising to tribal businesses or related entities within the region, and tracking outcomes such as increased contract readiness, improved proposal quality, or successful contract awards and performance.
In short, this DLA cooperative agreement opportunity was a region-specific procurement capacity initiative: one competitively selected tribal government or tribal organization would receive up to $750,000 to provide procurement technical assistance services across the Midwest BIA region, with the goal of improving participation and success in government contracting and related commercial activity.Apply for DLA 201902
