PHASE III Transfer to the Defense Community

  • PURPOSE:

Transition a company’s SBIR/STTR effort into hardware or software products, processes or services that benefit the Air Force acquisition community.

  • SBIR/STTR Phase III refers to work that derives from, extends, or

completes an effort made under prior SBIR funding agreements

  • It is funded with “Non-SBIR” sources
  • Funding can come from:
  • Either Government and/or the private sector!
  • NOTE: Once a company has successfully been awarded a SBIR Phase I
  • r Phase II, Phase III awards can be made using a “Non-Competitive”

process since competition requirements were satisfied using the previous Phase(s).

Commercialization

  • Commercialization Readiness Program (CRP) authorized by amendment in Sec

5122 of the FY12 National Defense Authorization Act

  • Identify and accelerate transition of SBIR developed technology
  • Allow for 1% of SBIR budget to administer CRP
  • Integral to the success of accelerating SBIR transition
  • Air Force provides valuable assistance in transitioning technology to military and

commercial sectors

  • Successful Air Force SBIR/STTR contracts may help small businesses get additional non-

SBIR funding to transition technology to commercial sector

DISTRIBUTION A. Approved for public release: distribution unlimited.

DID YOU KNOW? Approximately 58% of AF Phase II contracts resulted in sales of new products and services based on the innovations developed

STTP: The Basics

Transition planning requires relationship building and collaboration!

The STTP is a roadmap to transition, where stakeholders work together to plan and identify:

  • All critical stakeholder roles and responsibilities
  • Current and required transition TRL/MRL of SBIR

Phase II technology

  • Financial strategy - unfunded requirements
  • Intellectual Property (IP) protection
  • Risk mitigation

DISTRIBUTION A. Approved for public release: distribution unlimited.

STTP is NOT a contractual document

  • r an application for funds

determined by a statutory assessment (percentage) of the extramural Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) budgets of each participating component

  • Federal agencies with an extramural R&D

budget in excess of $100 million are required to have an SBIR Program

*Others includes: DoT, EPA, DHS, DoC, USDA, DoED

DoD Component Role

Identify

  • The concept for a SBIR or STTR project originates when a technology or

capability need is identified by the warfighter or a member of the science and technology or acquisition communities at a participating DoD Component Generate & Review

  • The stakeholder authors a Phase I SBIR or STTR topic for inclusion in a

solicitation to address that need

  • The topic would then be reviewed by the Component and OSD and, if

determined appropriate for SBIR or STTR funding, included in a solicitation Evaluate & Award

  • Evaluate submitted SBIR or STTR proposals and competitively award Phase

I contracts

Small Business Role

Identify

  • Small businesses identify topics in SBIR or STTR solicitations and determine their ability

to meet the described needs Register

  • Small businesses must register in government systems:
  • www.sbir.gov

SBA SBIR website

  • www.dodsbir.net/submission

DoD SBIR website

  • www.sam.gov

Federal Award Mgmt website Propose

  • Small businesses submit proposals describing an approach to meet the topic

requirements and commercialization strategy for resulting technology via the DoD SBIR/STTR Submission System

Collaboration: Contract Execution & Beyond

  • Upon contract award, the successful small business offeror executes its Phase I

proposal to prove the feasibility of the proposed solution

  • If the Phase I effort is successful, the small business may submit a Phase II proposal

to continue the effort

  • During Phase II, the small business further develops the technology and defines a

path to Phase III transition

  • Government

T echnical Point of Contact (TPOCs) and other stakeholders monitor execution of SBIR and STTR contracts

  • Small businesses must properly mark all SBIR Data Rights protected material

delivered to the Government; the Government cannot disclose SBIR data or software outside the government except as expressly permitted by the small business, for evaluation purposes, or for emergency repair or overhaul of items

  • perated by the Government

Planning for Transition

  • The SBIR Program supports project funding through Phase II, however,

at the completion of this phase, the small business must identify non-SBIR funding for technology maturity and validation efforts

  • DoD SBIR Community should collaborate with acquisition stakeholders

to incorporate SBIR projects into overall program planning to enable timely transition into acquisition programs

  • As such, acquisition program managers should plan for the transition of

SBIR technologies from set aside funding in Phases I and II to non-SBIR funding in Phase III

Transition T

  • ols
  • Some approaches for accomplishing the important

task of transitioning SBIR technologies include:

  • Establishing a Technology

Transition Plan (STTP), which documents the commitment and responsibilities of key stakeholders in the technology transition process -- such as the acquisition program sponsor, major defense contractors, component SBIR manager, and SBIR firm -- to develop, deliver and integrate a technology into an acquisition program

  • Addressing SBIR projects in program documentation including the Technology

Development and Acquisition Strategies

SBIR Data Rights

  • T

echnical data and software generated under a SBIR/STTR award are covered under SBIR Data Rights (DFARS 252.227-7018):

  • Limited Rights in SBIR/STTR technical data, and
  • Restricted Rights in SBIR/STTR computer software
  • SBIR Data Rights apply to all SBIR funding agreements (Phase I, II & III)
  • For DoD, SBIR Data Rights period is 5 years after receipt of the last

contract deliverable, BUT follow-on SBIR/STTR projects could extend SBIR Data Rights

  • The Government is granted a royalty-free, world-wide, nonexclusive,

irrevocable license
