Opportunity Summary:
The Defense Economic Transition Assistance (DETA) Program (Funding Opportunity Number OSBDC 2010 04) was a U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) funding opportunity administered through the SBA Office of Small Business Development Centers (OSBDC). It was designed to help small businesses and local economies adjust to negative economic impacts associated with the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) actions, specifically in places where BRAC-related losses resulted in a net job decline. In practical terms, the program’s purpose was to expand or intensify Small Business Development Center (SBDC) services in those affected areas so that small businesses and aspiring entrepreneurs could better navigate transition conditions, pursue new markets, strengthen management practices, and support regional economic recovery.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement under CFDA 59.037 (Small Business Development Centers), meaning recipients would work in partnership with SBA rather than simply receiving a hands-off grant. The SBDC network is SBA’s largest matching-grant-funded service delivery system for small business assistance, and the announcement emphasized the SBDC role in providing business management counseling, training, and other economic development services. It also highlighted the structure of the SBDC program as a collaboration among federal, state, and local governments, educational institutions, and private-sector partners, with SBA responsible for oversight while the SBDC lead organization carries out day-to-day delivery of services in coordination with SBA district offices and OSBDC.
Eligibility was narrow and limited to existing, accredited SBDCs that were already funded by SBA as Lead Centers at the time of application, and that provided services within one of the specifically identified areas that experienced net job loss tied to the 2005 BRAC. Applications from entities that did not meet all of these requirements were not to be accepted or evaluated. The qualifying locations listed in the announcement were: Alaska, Arizona, California (Yuba County), Connecticut, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. The notice also made clear that some other areas experienced BRAC-related job losses, but if those losses were offset by gains and did not produce a net job loss, they were not eligible under this particular announcement.
From a funding perspective, the announcement indicated an estimated total funding level of $2,000,000 with an expected 10 awards. The award floor and ceiling were both stated as $20,000, suggesting a standardized award size for each selected recipient. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applied, consistent with how the broader SBDC program is typically structured as a matching grant model. The funding activity category was listed as Business and Commerce.
Key dates in the posting show an opening date of October 19, 2009 and an original closing date of November 16, 2009, with the deadline specified as 9:00 pm Eastern Time. However, the opportunity record also notes that the notice was withdrawn from Grants.gov and would be republished later. Importantly, it stated that applicants who had already applied would need to reapply once the notice was republished. The record reflects a current closing date of December 3, 2009 and an archive date of December 4, 2009, consistent with the withdrawal and archiving process rather than a normal award cycle.
For program or application questions, the point of contact was SBA’s Office of Small Business Development Centers at (202) 205-6766, with email contact provided as osbdc@sba.gov. An additional information link was referenced at SBA’s SBDC funding opportunities webpage.
