Opportunity Information: Apply for SB OVVB 23 003
The 2023 VBOC Competitive Announcement - Nevada (Funding Opportunity Number: SB OVVB 23 003) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) designed to expand and strengthen services for veteran-related entrepreneurs in Nevada. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the SBA is expected to have substantial involvement in the funded project rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant. The overall focus sits in the Business and Commerce category (CFDA 59.044) and is aimed at ensuring veteran small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs can access practical, high-quality training, advising, and long-term support as they start, grow, or diversify businesses.
At its core, the program is seeking proposals from organizations that can deliver hands-on entrepreneurial education and individualized counseling to a broad military-connected audience. This includes veterans, active-duty service members, Reservists, National Guard members, and military spouses and family members. The services described go beyond general business workshops and emphasize deeper business development support such as technical and financial skill-building, comprehensive business assessments, mentoring, and targeted counseling. The intent is to help clients make informed business decisions, strengthen operational readiness, improve financial management capability, and increase the likelihood of sustainable small business formation and expansion.
A central requirement highlighted in the announcement is the delivery of two signature SBA-related training tracks for military-connected participants. First, applicants are expected to provide training to transitioning service members and spouses through the Boots to Business (B2B) Training Program, which supports military personnel as they move from service into civilian entrepreneurship. Second, applicants must also provide training to veterans and military spouses through the Reboot Training Program, which serves as an entrepreneurship training pathway for individuals who are already out of uniform or otherwise eligible. In practice, this means the applicant should be prepared to coordinate, schedule, and execute these trainings in a consistent and high-quality manner, while also connecting participants to follow-on counseling and resources that help move them from training into action.
The SBA is inviting applications from several eligible applicant types: state governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education under that nonprofit category). While the narrative description also references local government agencies and private sector firms, the eligible applicant list provided in the source data is the controlling summary of who can apply, so prospective applicants generally need to fit into one of those enumerated categories to be considered eligible under the posting.
Funding details indicate an award ceiling of $340,000, with an expectation of up to five awards. This suggests SBA anticipated supporting multiple providers or service areas, potentially creating coverage across regions or population segments within Nevada, while keeping individual awards within a defined maximum budget. As with many federal competitions, the announcement notes that the funding is subject to availability, which means awards may depend on appropriations and final SBA funding decisions even after proposals are submitted.
Key administrative details include an opportunity creation date of March 16, 2023, and an original application closing date of April 3, 2023. In short, the opportunity targets organizations capable of delivering an integrated package of entrepreneurship training and one-on-one counseling for veteran and military-connected communities in Nevada, with particular emphasis on implementing Boots to Business and Reboot training while also offering comprehensive assessments, mentoring, and technical and financial capability-building that can translate into real business outcomes.Apply for SB OVVB 23 003
