- Description
- As part of the DoD STTR 19.C Broad Agency Announcement (BAA), the Army STTR Program office is initiating a new process via "Special Topics" in order to accelerate technologies to the warfighter. The Army STTR program office will list seven (7) special topics in the DoD STTR 19.C BAA (as listed further below). In addition to the 19.C BAA instructions, Army STTR will be hosting an Industry Day at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill NC Friday Center in September 2019 to further delineate Army requirements and stimulate small business/research institute partnership-building. Registration is free on a first-registered basis, with space limited. To register for 19.C Army STTR Industry Day, send an email request to the Army STTR program office at email: usarmy.rtp.ccdc-arl.mbx.sttr-pmo@mail.mil In addition, a registration website will be accessible to the public no later than the beginning of the 19.C BAA pre-release period (23 August 2019). Interested parties may register either with the Army STTR program office upon this bulletin release or the public website. Interested parties that attempt to register at the public webite and/or experience technical issues or otherwise are denied registration, should email registration requests to the Army STTR program office. The 19.C BAA pre-release on 23 August 2019 is also the date that topic authors and their contact information will be made available for bidders to contact for additional questions/answers. The Army "Special Topics" are different in several ways from the standard Army STTR proposal, award and execution. The "Special Topics" pilot program is an effort to reduce life cycle processes (Topic Development, Solicitation, Proposal Evaluation, Selection, Award, Period of Performance). This pilot program includes shorter proposals, simplified review and selection process, rapid contract award and quicker cash disbursement. The special topics are written in broader context to permit a wider range of solutions from small business-research institution teams. Teams selected for Phase 1 and 2 awards will have closer interaction with Army topic sponsors to enable better understanding of opportunities. For these "Special Topics", Phase I proposals shall address the feasibility of a solution to the topic. For each of these seven (7) special topics, the Army anticipates funding three (3) STTR Phase I contracts to small businesses with their research institution partner and reserves the right to not fund a topic if the proposals received have insufficient merit. Phase I contracts are limited to a maximum of $166,500 over a period not to exceed three (3) months. Added, the Army anticipates funding one (1) STTR Phase II for each of these seven (7) "special topics" and Phase II contracts are limited to a maximum of $1,100,000 over a period between 6 and 18 months. Sequential/Subsequent Phase II funding, as well as non-SBIR/STTR funding, may also be available. ARMY STTR 19.C Topic Index NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (07-AUG-2019); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE.
