Opportunity Information: Apply for USDOT OST OSDBU SBTRCSW 2021 1
The Southwest Regional Small Business Transportation Resource Center grant opportunity is a U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) program run through the Office of the Secretary (OST), specifically the Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU). It seeks to select one organization to participate in and operate DOTs Small Business Transportation Resource Center (SBTRC) program for the Southwest region, covering Arizona, California, Hawaii, and Nevada. The overall purpose is business-oriented: the selected resource center is intended to support small businesses in transportation-related markets, with an emphasis on helping them better access DOT-related contracting and business development opportunities across the region.
This opportunity is a discretionary funding program and the award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a more hands-on relationship between DOT and the awardee than a standard grant. Under a cooperative agreement, the recipient generally carries out the day-to-day work, but DOT may remain substantially involved through coordination, oversight, and collaboration on program activities and deliverables. The activity category is listed as Business and Commerce, reinforcing that the focus is on strengthening small business participation in transportation industry opportunities rather than building physical infrastructure.
Eligible applicants are tax-exempt nonprofit organizations recognized by the IRS, including 501(c)(3) and, as described in the narrative, potentially 501(c)(6) organizations as well (such as chambers of commerce and certain trade associations). The announcement also indicates that business-centered community-based organizations, transportation-related trade associations, colleges and universities, community colleges, and chambers of commerce may compete, so long as they meet the required tax-exempt status parameters. In the eligibility metadata, the eligible applicant category is stated as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status other than institutions of higher education, which suggests applicants should pay close attention to the full notice requirements and how DOT resolves any apparent differences between the short eligibility code and the narrative description.
The funding opportunity number is USDOT OST OSDBU SBTRCSW 2021 1, and it is associated with CFDA 20.910. The award ceiling is $160,000, and DOT anticipated making a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), meaning the competition is designed to select one lead organization to serve as the SBTRC for the entire Southwest region rather than funding multiple centers at once. The opportunity was created on January 18, 2022, with an original application deadline of March 18, 2022.
In practical terms, an award under this program would be expected to establish or maintain a regional resource hub that delivers assistance to small businesses seeking to engage in transportation-related contracting and commerce. While the summary provided does not list required activities in detail, SBTRC programs commonly involve outreach, training, counseling, technical assistance, and coordination with relevant DOT offices and transportation stakeholders to help small firms understand procurement processes, build capacity, and compete for contracting opportunities. The intended result is a stronger pipeline of capable small and disadvantaged businesses participating in transportation projects and supply chains across the Southwest region.Apply for USDOT OST OSDBU SBTRCSW 2021 1
