Opportunity Information: Apply for USDOT OST OSDBU SBTRCCENTRAL 2022 1
The Central Regional Small Business Transportation Resource Center opportunity is a discretionary Department of Transportation (DOT) funding competition run through the Office of the Secretary (OST) and the Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU). Its purpose is to select one qualified organization to participate in and help deliver OSDBU's Small Business Transportation Resource Center (SBTRC) program for the Central Region, which covers Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Mississippi, and Missouri. In practical terms, the award supports a regional resource center that helps small businesses engage with transportation-related opportunities, with an emphasis consistent with OSDBU's mission to expand access for small and disadvantaged firms within the DOT marketplace.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to stay meaningfully involved during the project period rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The opportunity is categorized under Business and Commerce, and it is associated with CFDA (now often referred to as Assistance Listing) number 20.910. The solicitation anticipated a single award, with an award ceiling of $170,000, indicating the program intended to fund one central-region operator up to that maximum amount.
Eligible applicants are centered on nonprofit, business-serving entities with appropriate IRS tax-exempt status. The announcement highlights business-centered community-based organizations, transportation-related trade associations, colleges and universities, community colleges, and chambers of commerce, provided they are registered with the IRS as 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(6) organizations. The eligibility listing also specifies nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status other than institutions of higher education, so applicants would need to pay close attention to how the eligibility rules are written in the full notice and ensure their organizational type and tax status align with the requirements for this specific competition.
