Opportunity Summary:
Small Business Defense Economic Transition Assistance (DETA) is a U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) funding opportunity (Program Announcement No. OSBDC 2010 08) designed to help small businesses and entrepreneurs in communities that were economically harmed by the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) actions. The core idea is to use the existing Small Business Development Center (SBDC) network to deliver targeted, on-the-ground counseling, training, and technical assistance that supports local economic transition and helps small firms stabilize, adapt, and grow after defense related job losses.
This opportunity is offered by the SBA Office of Small Business Development Centers (OSBDC) as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning awardees would operate in close coordination with SBA rather than simply receiving a pass-through grant with minimal federal involvement. The funding activity category is Business and Commerce, and the program is tied to the SBDC statutory authority under the Small Business Act (15 USC 648(a)(6)(C)). The announcement opened January 13, 2010 and closed February 4, 2010 at 9:00 PM Eastern Time, with the listing posted January 12, 2010 and archived February 5, 2010.
Eligibility is narrow and limited to existing SBA funded SBDC recipient organizations that meet three conditions at the time of application: they must be an accredited SBDC, they must be funded by SBA as an SBDC Lead Center, and they must provide services within a qualifying area that experienced a net job loss due to the 2005 BRAC. Applications from entities that do not meet all three requirements are not accepted or evaluated. Importantly, the announcement notes that some places experienced BRAC related losses but also had offsetting gains; those locations are not eligible because they did not have a net job loss under the criteria used for this program.
Funding totals are estimated at $2,000,000 with an expected 15 awards. Individual awards are expected to fall between a $100,000 floor and a $200,000 ceiling. The program listing indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement for this DETA opportunity. The announcement also provides state level pro rata maximum amounts, with several states capped at the overall $200,000 ceiling even if the pro rata figure is higher. The eligible, net job loss locations listed in the announcement include: Alaska ($100,000), Arizona ($140,453), California (Yuba County) ($198,416), Connecticut ($178,918), Idaho ($100,000), Kentucky (pro rata $212,343 but capped at $200,000), Louisiana (pro rata $234,787 but capped at $200,000), Maine ($100,000), Mississippi ($149,450), New Jersey (pro rata $442,065 but capped at $200,000), New Mexico ($100,000), North Dakota ($100,000), Pennsylvania (pro rata $645,211 but capped at $200,000), South Dakota ($100,000), and Wisconsin (pro rata $281,792 but capped at $200,000).
From a program delivery perspective, the announcement positions SBDCs as SBAs primary service delivery network for business and economic development assistance. It emphasizes that SBDCs work with SBA OSBDC and SBA District Offices and coordinate with state and local partners, educational institutions, and the private sector to provide management counseling and other services that support business growth, innovation, productivity improvements, and stronger management practices. Under DETA specifically, those services are meant to be aimed at the defense transition context, helping affected communities respond to BRAC driven economic disruption by strengthening the small business base and supporting new venture creation.
