Opportunity Information: Apply for USDOT OST OSDBU SBTRC 2017 3
The South Atlantic-SBTRC opportunity is a discretionary U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) program run through the Office of the Secretary (OST) and administered by the Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU). It invites qualified nonprofit and nonprofit-like entities to compete for a cooperative agreement to operate or support a Small Business Transportation Resource Center (SBTRC) serving the South Atlantic Region, specifically Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, and Kentucky. The overall purpose is to strengthen the capacity of small businesses in transportation-related markets by providing them with targeted assistance, connections, and resources aligned with DOT contracting and business development needs.
The eligible applicants described in the notice include business-centered community-based organizations, transportation-related trade associations, colleges and universities (including community colleges), and chambers of commerce, as long as they are registered with the IRS as tax-exempt organizations under 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(6). The source eligibility fields also emphasize nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) and private institutions of higher education, reflecting that the program is aimed at mission-driven intermediaries that can deliver technical assistance and outreach rather than for-profit firms seeking capital for their own operations.
This opportunity uses a cooperative agreement, which typically means DOT expects substantial involvement during the period of performance, such as coordination on program delivery, reporting, performance expectations, and alignment with OSDBU priorities. The activity category is transportation, and the CFDA number listed is 20.910. The award ceiling is $150,000, indicating the maximum federal funding level anticipated for a recipient under this announcement. The listing shows an expected awards field but does not specify a number, suggesting competition may result in one or more selections depending on program design and available resources.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number "USDOT OST OSDBU SBTRC 2017 3," the posting/creation date of February 21, 2017, and an original closing date of March 21, 2017. The sponsoring office is identified as "69A350 OSDBU," which corresponds to DOT OSDBU. In practical terms, organizations considering this type of opportunity would be expected to demonstrate they can serve small businesses across the four-state region, deliver programming such as training, one-on-one counseling, procurement readiness support, and outreach events, and maintain the reporting and partnership coordination that typically comes with a cooperative agreement structure.
In short, the South Atlantic-SBTRC grant competition is designed to select a capable nonprofit or eligible educational/trade organization to act as a regional resource hub that helps transportation-related small businesses navigate opportunities, build capability, and connect to DOT and related transportation procurement ecosystems within Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, and Kentucky, with funding up to $150,000 under a DOT OSDBU cooperative agreement.Apply for USDOT OST OSDBU SBTRC 2017 3
