SSBCI Technical Assistance (TA) Program Overview
The Rhode Island Department of Administration has selected the Rhode Island Commerce Corporation (RI Commerce) as a subrecipient. As a quasi-public agency, RI Commerce is the official full-service economic development organization for the state of Rhode Island. The agency plans to seek partners to provide legal, accounting, and financial advisory services to very small and underserved businesses.
RI Commerce will identify providers through a competitive RFP process, following their standardized procurement guidelines aligned with federal and state regulations. The final selection is anticipated to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2024. RI Commerce plans to provide the outreach to underserved and very small businesses with the expectation that the partner will help the businesses apply for SSBCI capital programs. Partners will also provide the technical assistance needed for businesses to compete for federal, state, local government, and commercial contracts.
Total allocation: $773,623
