Description

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE (DOD) SMALL BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER (STTR) PROGRAM. (For further information, visit the DoD SBIR/STTR Program web-site at www.acq.osd.mil/sadbu/sbir.) Small high-technology firms, working with a research institution, are encour aged to submit proposals to DoD for R&D projects with both military and commercial applications in response to STTR solicitation 2002 which will be publicly released on the DoD SBIR Web Site (http://www.acq.osd.mil/sadbu/sbir) on January 2, 2002. DoD will begin accepting proposals in response to this solicitation on March 1, 2002. Five DoD components will participate in the STTR 2001 solicitation -- the Departments of the Army, Navy and Air Force; the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and t he Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO). The solicitation will list all the R&D topics under which DoD is seeking proposals, and will also contain detailed information on the parameters of the STTR Program and how to submit a proposal. Small fir ms apply first for a one year phase I award of $60,000 to $100,000 to test the scientific, technical, and commercial merit of a particular concept. Proposals are limited to 25 pages in length. If phase I proves successful, the firm may be invited to appl y for a two-year phase II award of $400,000 to $500,000 to further develop the concept, usually to the prototype stage. On January 2, 2002, DoD will also publicly release on the DoD SBIR Web Site (http://www.acq.osd.mil/sadbu/sbir) the names of the STTR s olicitation topic authors and their phone numbers. This will give small companies an opportunity to ask technical questions about specific solicitation topics by telephone before they submit a proposal. Once DoD begins accepting proposals on March 1, 200 1 such telephone questions will no longer be accepted. Phase I proposals are to be submitted to the addressees designated in the solicitation, and must arrive no later than 3:00 P.M. local time, at the addressee's organization, on April 17, 2002. A hard copy of the solicitation will be mailed automatically to all firms registered with SBIR Support Services. To register or request hard copies the call the telephone number listed at the DoD SBIR/STTR Program web-site: www.acq.osd.mil/sadbu/sbir. Small fir ms participating in the STTR/SBIR program retain patent rights and technical data rights, in accord with Public Law 97-219 and Public Law 102-564. Participation in the DoD SBIR/STTR Program is restricted to small business firms, working with research inst itutions, organized for profit with 500 or fewer employees, including all affiliated firms. PLEASE NOTE -- DoD'S SBIR/STTR PROGRAM WILL SOON BECOME PAPERLESS AND HARD COPIES OF SOLICITATIONS WILL NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE. THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS CHANGE W ILL BE ANNOUNCED.
