Opportunity Information: Apply for USDOT OST OSDBU SBTRCNW 2023 1
The SBTRC Northwest grant opportunity is a discretionary funding competition run by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), within the Office of the Secretary (OST) and specifically the Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU). The purpose is to select one organization to participate in and help deliver OSDBU's Small Business Transportation Resource Center (SBTRC) program for the Northwest Region, which covers Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington. In practical terms, the award supports an entity that can serve as a regional resource hub focused on helping small businesses engage with transportation-related opportunities, particularly within the DOT ecosystem and the broader transportation marketplace.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, meaning DOT/OSDBU expects substantial involvement in how the program is carried out rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The activity category is listed as Business and Commerce, and the program is associated with CFDA number 20.910. The opportunity anticipated a single award with a maximum (ceiling) amount of $192,500, indicating DOT intended to fund one lead organization to cover the full Northwest region rather than making multiple smaller awards.
Eligible applicants are tax-exempt organizations registered with the IRS as either 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(6). The announcement highlights the kinds of organizations DOT is looking for: business-centered community-based organizations, transportation-related trade associations, colleges and universities, community colleges, and chambers of commerce. The eligibility field also emphasizes nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), which suggests applicants should pay close attention to how they fit the eligibility rules as written in the full notice, especially if they are an educational institution or a 501(c)(6). Overall, the ideal applicant is an organization with strong regional reach, credible ties to the transportation and business community, and the capacity to provide ongoing technical assistance, training, outreach, and coordination consistent with an SBTRC role.
Key administrative details from the notice include the funding opportunity title "SBTRC Northwest," opportunity number "USDOT OST OSDBU SBTRCNW 2023 1," and the issuing agency listed as "Department of Transportation, 69A350 OSDBU." The opportunity was created on May 23, 2023, and originally closed on July 22, 2023. As a summary, this is a DOT OSDBU effort to place a single, qualified nonprofit-led regional partner in the Northwest to help small businesses better navigate and compete for transportation-related contracting, procurement, and other participation opportunities aligned with DOT priorities.Apply for USDOT OST OSDBU SBTRCNW 2023 1
