The DoD issued its 2012A STTR pre-release on January 26, 2012, which opens to receive proposals on February 28, 2012, and closes March 28, 2012 at 6:00am EST.
The solicitation is inclusive of 26 topics from the Navy's SYSCOMS.
Between January 26 and February 27, 2012, you may talk directly with the Topic Authors to ask technical questions about the topics. Their names, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses are listed within each solicitation topic. For reasons of competitive fairness, direct communication between proposers and topic authors is not allowed starting February 28, when DoD begins accepting proposals for this solicitation.
However, proposers may still submit written questions about solicitation topics through the SBIR/STTR Interactive Topic Information System (SITIS), in which the questioner and respondent remain anonymous and all questions and answers are posted electronically for general viewing until the solicitation closes.
All proposers are advised to monitor SITIS during the solicitation period for questions and answers, and other significant information, relevant to the SBIR/STTR topic under which they are proposing.
In order to keep small businesses informed, the Navy posts lists of SBIR/STTR "Selectees" as they are chosen (see Browse Phase I Selections in the box on the upper right). A selectee is a company selected for "further consideration", meaning that the proposal is of interest, but
the final decision and contract negotiation is not complete. Being listed as a selectee on this web site is NOT a notification of contract award.
The list of selections is an ongoing process that may take several months to complete. You can register on the 12.1 SBIR Selections page to receive notifications of updates to the list.
Congress Reauthorizes SBIR/STTR Programs Through September 30, 2017
[December 15, 2011] [Updated December 31, 2011]
On December 15, 2011 Congress passed H.R.1540, the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012, which includes a full reauthorization of the SBIR, STTR and CPP programs through the end of fiscal year 2017. The Commercialization Pilot Program (CPP) has been renamed The Commercialization Readiness Program (CRP).
On December 31, 2011, the President signed the bill into Public Law: 112-81
The SBIR programs technically expired on September 30, 2008, but had been kept alive by a series of 14 short term continuing resolutions, all of which maintained the programs as is.
This new reauthorization makes some exciting changes to the programs that will be announced here in the near future.
