| 00-21859 | Solicitation of Applications for the Native American Business Development Center (NABDC) Program | Notice | In accordance with Executive Order 11625 and 15 U.S.C. 1512, the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) is soliciting competitive applications from organizations to operate new and enhanced Native American Business Development Centers (NABDC) under its Native American Business Development Center Program. The new and enhanced NABDC Program is the successor to MBDA's Native American Business Development Center (NABDC) Program, for providing general business assistance to Native American-owned companies in various markets throughout the United States. In order for their proposals to receive consideration, applicants must comply with all information and requirements contained in this Notice. The NABDC Program represents a significant programmatic and administrative enhancement of MBDA's traditional NABDC Program. In operation since 1982, the NABDCs provide generalized management and technical assistance and business development services to Native American business enterprises within their designated geographic service areas. The new and enhanced NABDC program described in this Notice updates the traditional NABDC model by leveraging the full benefit of telecommunications technology, including the Internet, and a variety of online computer resources to dramatically increase the level of service which the NABDCs can provide to their Native American business clients. In addition, the NABDC Program guidelines further increase the impact of the NABDC projects by requiring that project operators not only deploy their business assistance services to the Native American business public directly, but that they also develop a network of strategic partnerships with third-party organizations located within the geographic service area. These strategic partnerships will be used to expand the reach of the NABDC project into communities and market segments that the project would have limited resources to cover otherwise, and are a key component of this program modification. Individuals eligible for assistance under the NABDC Program are Native Americans, African Americans, Puerto Ricans, Spanish-speaking Americans, Aleuts, Asian Pacific Americans, Asian Indians, Eskimos and Hasidic Jews. References throughout this Notice to providing assistance to Native Americans also include eligible non-Native Americans listed in the preceding sentence. No service will be denied to any member of the eligible groups listed above. | 2000-08-28 | 2000 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/08/28/00-21859/solicitation-of-applications-for-the-native-american-business-development-center-nabdc-program | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-08-28/pdf/00-21859.pdf | Commerce Department; Minority Business Development Agency | 54,291 | In accordance with Executive Order 11625 and 15 U.S.C. 1512, the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) is soliciting competitive applications from organizations to operate new and enhanced Native American Business Development Centers (NABDC)... |
