Small Business Transportation Technical Assistance Center (Region 6)

The U.S. Department of Transportation, through its Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization, is seeking to award a single cooperative agreement to establish and operate the Region 6 Small Business Transportation Technical Assistance Center, previously known as the Small Business Transportation Resource Centers. The award will support a 12-month base period with the potential for two additional one-year option periods contingent upon performance, aiming to enhance technical assistance and resources for small and disadvantaged businesses in the transportation sector across Region 6. Funding is available under solicitation number OST-OSDBU-2026-SBTTAC-REGION6-FY2026-1, with applications due by August 30, 2026, and the opportunity was posted on July 31, 2026. The center will serve as a dedicated resource to help small businesses navigate federal transportation contracting opportunities. The award is managed by the Office of the Secretary, and the point of contact for inquiries is Lynn Bailey, Grantor, reachable at 445-867-0869 or lynn.bailey@dot.gov. There is no specified place of performance or NAICS code, and no set-aside type is indicated, meaning the opportunity is open to all eligible entities. The application and further details are accessible through the Grants.gov portal under the listing number 363430. The initiative reinforces the USDOT’s commitment to expanding equitable access to transportation-related federal contracting and technical support for underrepresented and disadvantaged businesses.
