The agency is offering $9 million in total grants through its Supply Chain Acceleration and Logistics Enablement (SCALE) Program, with individual grants reaching up to $500,000. This program is poised to offer critical support for small businesses eager to navigate current supply chain constraints while enhancing their production capabilities. The SCALE Program reflects this ambition by providing targeted aid to small enterprises that directly contribute to various essential supply chains, from agriculture to defense. To enhance visibility and facilitate engagement, the SBA is employing a multi-faceted approach to strengthen the manufacturing capabilities of U.S. small businesses.
