Opportunity Information: Apply for OSBDC 2018 01

The OSBDC grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: OSBDC 2018 01) is a Small Business Administration (SBA) funding program focused on supporting a Small Business Development Center (SBDC) organization. It is categorized as a mandatory federal opportunity and uses a grant as the funding instrument. The primary activity area is listed under Business and Commerce, and it is associated with CFDA number 59.037, which corresponds to SBA programming tied to small business development services.

This opportunity was created on May 22, 2017, with an original application closing date of July 21, 2017. The SBA anticipated making about 63 awards under this announcement, indicating a broad, multi-award structure rather than a single nationwide award. The listed maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $6,500,000, which signals that individual awards could be substantial depending on the scope of work, geographic coverage, service area, or program design used for the recipient organization(s).

Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity, as long as the applicant also satisfies any additional eligibility conditions that may be described in the full announcement text (specifically any clarifications that would appear in an "Additional Information on Eligibility" section). In practical terms, an "unrestricted" eligibility label typically suggests that a wide range of organizations may apply (for example, nonprofits, educational institutions, state or local entities, or other organizations), but applicants would still need to confirm compliance with any program-specific requirements described in the complete notice.

Overall, the OSBDC opportunity is a federal SBA grant designed to fund organizations involved in delivering or coordinating SBDC-related services, with the general intent of supporting small business assistance activities under the Business and Commerce category. The minimal description provided ("SBDC organization") indicates that the detailed program goals, required services, performance expectations, and application requirements would be spelled out in the full funding announcement, but the basic structure points to SBA support for the SBDC network and its small business development mission.
