Opportunity Information: Apply for OWBO WKPLN 2018 19 1
The "OWBO Option Year Workplan and Budget Request" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: OWBO WKPLN 2018 19 1) is a continuation funding announcement issued by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) through its Office of Women s Business Ownership (OWBO). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the SBA expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work, such as coordination, guidance, or oversight during implementation, rather than operating as a hands-off grantmaker. The program is categorized under the Business and Commerce activity area and is associated with CFDA number 59.043, indicating it falls within SBA assistance programs related to business development services.
This notice is aimed at existing or previously funded recipients who are eligible for an "option year" under an ongoing cooperative agreement. In other words, it is not framed like a wide-open competitive solicitation for brand-new applicants; instead, it supports continued operations or continued delivery of services under an established project, contingent on an acceptable workplan and budget for the next period. The listing states that eligible applicants are "Others," with eligibility details referenced in an additional eligibility text field (not included in the excerpt), which is common for continuation actions where only certain current awardees or specific partner entities qualify.
The practical focus of the opportunity is submission of a work plan and budget request for the option year. While the public description provided is brief ("See Work Plan and Budget Request"), that wording generally signals that the core requirements, performance expectations, milestones, and cost categories are laid out in an attached or companion document. In typical SBA continuation actions, applicants are asked to explain what they will accomplish during the next budget period, how activities align with OWBO goals, how performance will be measured, and exactly how requested funds will be spent, including staffing, program delivery costs, and any required reporting or evaluation tasks.
Key administrative details include a creation date of October 29, 2018 and an original closing date of December 27, 2018, setting the window for submitting the option year materials. The award ceiling is listed as $137,500, meaning that is the maximum amount anticipated per award under this notice, and the SBA expected to make 2 awards. Taken together, the ceiling and the small number of expected awards reinforce that this is a targeted continuation action rather than a broad funding competition, and that funding levels are capped according to the terms of the ongoing cooperative agreement and the option year budget limits.
In summary, this SBA OWBO funding opportunity is a continuation cooperative agreement action supporting business-related program activities under CFDA 59.043. Applicants (likely existing partners or awardees) are required to submit an option year workplan and a detailed budget request by the deadline, and SBA anticipated up to two continuation awards with individual funding not to exceed $137,500.Apply for OWBO WKPLN 2018 19 1
