Opportunity Information: Apply for USDOT OST OSDBU SBTRCG 2020 1
The Department of Transportation (DOT), through its Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU), offered a discretionary cooperative agreement to create and operate a Small Business Transportation Resource Center (SBTRC) for the Gulf Region. The core purpose of the SBTRC program is to strengthen small businesses that want to participate in transportation-related work by providing practical business training, hands-on technical assistance, and targeted information that helps firms navigate DOT-funded and DOT-related contracting and assistance programs. In practice, the SBTRC is meant to serve small businesses that are working with, or seeking opportunities from, DOT grantees and recipients as well as prime contractors and subcontractors involved in transportation projects.
This particular opportunity focused on establishing one SBTRC that would deliver services across four states: Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. The selected organization would function as a regional resource hub, helping small firms better understand procurement processes, compliance expectations, and how to position themselves competitively for transportation contracts and subcontracts tied to DOT funding. Because the award uses a cooperative agreement instrument, DOT would typically expect an active partnership with the awardee, meaning the agency may be more involved than it would be under a standard grant in shaping objectives, coordinating outreach, or aligning services with federal priorities.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions if they do not meet the stated category). The opportunity was listed under CFDA 20.910 and categorized within the business and commerce funding activity area. DOT anticipated making a single award, with an award ceiling of $190,000, indicating the maximum funding level expected for the project. The opportunity was created on February 13, 2020, with an original application closing date of March 13, 2020. The funding opportunity number was USDOT OST OSDBU SBTRCG 2020 1, and the issuing agency was the Department of Transportation, 69A350 OSDBU.Apply for USDOT OST OSDBU SBTRCG 2020 1
