- The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Program Support Center (PSC), Division of Acquisition Management (DAM), is soliciting proposals from eligible small business concerns that possess the research & development (R&D) expertise to conduct innovative research for the following topics: (1) Identify, Develop and Demonstrate Research-Based Innovative Financial Management Model(s) and Appropriate Implementation Strategies, Including the Required Training and Technical Assistance, Designed to Enhance the Effectiveness and Efficiency of Financial Management Practices and Capabilities of Indian Tribal Governments (ACF-OPRE-01-06); (2) Design, Develop and Test Effective and Efficient Comprehensive Community-Based Outreach Strategies Aimed at Improving Access to Child Support Enforcement Services by Hispanic Communities (OCSE-01-06); and (3) A Longitudinal Analysis of the Effects of Marriage on Father Involvement, Parenting and Child Support (OCSE-02-06). The SBIR program was established in 1982 by the Small Business Innovation Development Act, (P.L. 97-219) to ensure that small businesses receive a greater share of federal research and development awards. Under P.L. 102-564, Congress reauthorized the SBIR program through September 30, 1998. The purposes of the Act are to: (a) expand and improve the SBIR program; (b) emphasize increased private sector commercialization of technology developed through federal R&D; (c) increase small business participation in federal R&D; and (d) foster and encourage participation of socially and economically disadvantaged small business concerns and women-owned small business concerns in the SBIR program. For purposes of the SBIR program, a small business concern is any business concern that, on the date of award, (1) is organized for profit, with a place of business located in the United States, which operates primarily within the United States or which makes a significant contribution to the United States economy through payment of taxes or use of American products, materials or labor; (2) is in the legal form of an individual proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company, corporation, joint venture, association, trust or cooperative, except that where the form is a joint venture there can be no more than 49 percent participation by foreign business entities in the joint venture; (3) is at least 51 percent owned and controlled by one or more individuals who are citizens of, or permanent resident aliens, in the United States; and (4) has, including its affiliates, no more than 500 employees. In accordance with FAR 5.102(a)(1), the SBIR Phase I solicitation will be issued approximately 15 days after this synopsis is issued and will be made available electronically at this address: http://www.fedbizopps.gov. Only electronic copies of the solicitation will be available.
