Opportunity Information: Apply for USDOT OST OSDBU SBTRCSW 2019 1
The Southwest Region Small Business Transportation Resource Center grant opportunity is a U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) program administered through the Office of the Secretary (OST) and the Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU). It supports the creation or operation of a Small Business Transportation Resource Center (SBTRC) serving the Southwest Region, specifically Arizona, California, Hawaii, and Nevada. The purpose is to select an eligible organization to participate in OSDBU's SBTRC program, which is designed to strengthen small business engagement in transportation-related opportunities, especially by connecting businesses to DOT-related procurement, contracting, and broader transportation commerce activities.
This is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, meaning the awardee should expect an active partnership relationship with DOT/OSDBU rather than a simple pass-through grant with minimal federal involvement. The funding activity category is listed as Business and Commerce under CFDA 20.910. The opportunity was published on May 21, 2019, with an original application deadline of June 21, 2019. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $160,000, and the notice indicates an expectation of one award.
Eligible applicants include certain nonprofit and education-based entities, with an emphasis on organizations that are business-facing and community-based. Specifically, the description highlights business-centered community-based organizations, transportation-related trade associations, colleges and universities (including community colleges), and chambers of commerce, provided they are registered with the IRS as tax-exempt entities under 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(6). The eligibility list also includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). In practical terms, the target applicant pool is organizations with established ties to local or regional business communities and the capacity to deliver technical assistance, outreach, and resource support to transportation-related small businesses across the four-state region.
In summary, DOT OSDBU is seeking a qualified nonprofit or educational institution (and, per the description, potentially a 501(c)(6) chamber or trade association) to operate as the Southwest Region SBTRC partner, helping small businesses navigate and compete for transportation-sector opportunities in Arizona, California, Hawaii, and Nevada, with up to $160,000 available through a cooperative agreement and an anticipated single awardee.Apply for USDOT OST OSDBU SBTRCSW 2019 1
