Small Business Innovative Research
Abstract
This program element consists of a highly competitive three-phase award system that provides qualified small business concerns with the opportunity to propose high quality innovative ideas that meet specific research and development needs of USSOCOM. Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) is a result of the Small Business Development Act of 1992. It was enacted by Congress in Public Law 97-219, reenacted by Public Law 99-443, and reauthorized by the SBIR Program Reauthorization Act of 2001. Starting in FY 1994, the SBIR program was refocused toward dual use and defense reinvestment efforts. Phase I projects evaluate the scientific technical merit and feasibility of an idea. Awards are up to $0.100 million with a maximum six-month period of performance. Phase II projects expand the results of, and further pursue, the developments of Phase I. Awards are up to $0.750 million with a maximum two-year period of performance. Phase III is for commercialization of the results of Phase II and requires the use of private or non-SBIR federal funding. DOD publishes government agency proposal projects twice per year for a consolidated DoD Request for Proposal. USSOCOM then awards its proposed SBIR projects.
