A -- AIR FORCE 01.1 SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) DRAFT TENTATIVE TOPICS POC Point of contact -- Rebecca Holbrook, 937-656-9066 WEB: AF 01.1 SBIR Pre-Solicitation Draft Tentative Topics, http://www.afrl.af.mil/sbir/index.htm. The Air Force has projected their FY 01.1 Small Business Research Development draft tentative topic requirements. The proposed topics contain the same information as will appear in the DoD program solicitation 01.1 that opens on or about Dec. 1, 2000, plus the name/phone number/e-mail of the individual sponsoring the topic. The purpose of this document is to provide small businesses with an advanced copy of the draft AF SBIR requirements. We encourage all small businesses to take this opportunity to discuss the technical aspects of these requirements with the point of contact from the sponsoring organization. It is anticipated that this additional insight will assist small businesses in preparing more competitive technical proposal(s). Questions may be addressed to the sponsoring activity through Nov. 30, 2000. As of Dec. 1, 2000, no additional technical information (this includes specifications, recommended approaches, further refinement, the limiting of topic areas, and the like) can or will be made available by Air Force personnel during the DoD program solicitation period, approximately Dec. 1, 2000 through Jan. 15, 2001, except through the DTIC SBIR Interactive Technical Information System. These draft tentative topics will be released on the World Wide Web; the URL is http://www.afrl.af.mil/sbir/index.htm. Note: No discussions may be held with the point of contact after Nov. 30, 2000. Disclaimer: These draft topics have not yet been approved and only the approved topics will appear in the SBIR DoD Pre-Solicitation published on or about Oct. 1, 2000 on the DoD website (http://www.acq.osd.mil/sadbu/sbir). The formal DoD SBIR solicitation will be published on or about Dec. 1, 2000. Posted 07/24/00 (W-SN478201). (0206)
