Opportunity Information: Apply for USDOT OST OSDBU SBTRCNE2017 1
The Small Business Transportation Resource Center (SBTRC) - NE Region grant opportunity is a discretionary funding program from the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU). Through this opportunity, USDOT planned to enter into Cooperative Agreements with selected organizations that would operate as regional resource centers focused on strengthening the capacity of small businesses to compete in the transportation contracting marketplace. The overall purpose is to help more qualified small firms successfully pursue, win, and perform on DOT-funded transportation-related contracts and subcontracts across federal, state, and local levels.
The core activities supported by this opportunity center on outreach and direct assistance to the small business community within the designated region. Awardees are expected to provide practical services such as financial and technical assistance, business training programs, business assessments, management training, one-on-one counseling, marketing support, and broader outreach efforts. Another major component is information dissemination, meaning the resource center would actively share relevant contracting and procurement information, guidance on requirements, and opportunities that can help small businesses better understand how DOT spending flows and how to position themselves to participate.
The opportunity is explicitly aimed at serving a wide range of federally recognized small business categories, including 8(a) firms, small disadvantaged businesses (SDB), disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE), women-owned small businesses (WOSB), HUBZone businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned businesses (SDVOB), and veteran-owned small businesses (VOSB). In other words, the program is designed to expand access and readiness for businesses that have historically faced barriers in government and transportation-sector procurement.
USDOT also defines "transportation-related" broadly for this program. It covers work connected to the maintenance, rehabilitation, restructuring, improvement, or revitalization of any of the nation’s modes of transportation. That broad definition signals that supported businesses could be preparing for a wide variety of transportation projects and supply chains, not just one narrow slice of infrastructure work.
From an administrative and eligibility standpoint, this funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: USDOT OST OSDBU SBTRCNE2017 1; CFDA: 20.910) is offered as a Cooperative Agreement rather than a standard grant. Cooperative Agreements typically indicate that the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the funded project, such as collaboration, oversight, or coordinated implementation. Eligible applicants are limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity was created on April 20, 2017, with an original application closing date of May 20, 2017. The listed award ceiling is $224,000, and USDOT anticipated making about 10 awards under the broader SBTRC effort, with this listing specifically referencing the Northeast (NE) region.Apply for USDOT OST OSDBU SBTRCNE2017 1
