Opportunity Information: Apply for USDOT OST OSDBU SBTRCSA 2020 1
The Small Business Transportation Resource Center (SBTRC) - South Atlantic Region grant opportunity is a U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) discretionary funding program administered through the Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU). It is designed to fund the creation and operation of a regional resource center that helps small businesses participate more effectively in transportation-related contracting and grant-supported work. Rather than functioning as a direct construction or procurement award, the program supports an assistance hub that delivers practical business education and support services to organizations and companies working within the DOT ecosystem, including DOT grantees and recipients as well as prime contractors and subcontractors.
The award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates a more collaborative relationship between DOT and the awardee than a standard grant, with DOT likely having ongoing involvement in guiding or coordinating program activities. The focus of the SBTRC model is to provide business training, technical assistance, and information. In practice, that can include helping firms understand DOT procurement and compliance expectations, preparing businesses to compete for contracts, navigating bidding processes, improving operational readiness, and connecting businesses to relevant transportation agency opportunities and contracting pipelines. The opportunity is specifically aimed at strengthening the capacity of small and disadvantaged businesses to engage in transportation projects and related supply chains.
This particular SBTRC competition is intended to establish one center serving the South Atlantic Region, with services covering Kentucky, North Carolina, Virginia, the Washington, DC metropolitan area, and West Virginia. The solicitation anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1), with an award ceiling of $222,500. The funding activity category is listed under Business and Commerce, and the program is associated with CFDA number 20.910.
Eligible applicants are limited to two main categories: public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in the nonprofit category). This means private for-profit entities are not eligible to apply directly, and the program is oriented toward organizations that can serve as stable, mission-driven intermediaries for small business support.
