New SBA grant opportunity to strengthen critical U.S. supply chains

The U.S. Small Business Administration has launched the Supply Chain Acceleration and Logistics Enablement (SCALE) Program.

Through this initiative, SBA will award grants of up to $500,000 to eligible organizations to deliver technical assistance and workforce development programs. These efforts will help small businesses overcome operational, technical, and market barriers so they can better participate in strategically important supply chains — including advanced manufacturing, energy, food systems, defense industrial base, biotechnology, and transportation infrastructure.

By investing in small suppliers, we’re building more resilient domestic supply chains, creating jobs, and enhancing America’s economic security.

📅 Application deadline: August 7, 2026

Eligible organizations can apply via Grants.gov — search for solicitation #SB-OIIGA-26-001.

There will also be an informative webinar next Tuesday July 14 (registration)

Let’s work together to accelerate supply chain resilience and help our small businesses thrive!
