The DoD SBIR 14.1 Solicitation is closing January 22, 2014 at 6:00 a.m. ET
Proposals in response to the DoD SBIR 14.1 Solicitation must be received by 6:00 a.m. ET on Wednesday, January 22, 2014. Proposals must be prepared and submitted through the Proposal Submission site at www.dodsbir.net/submission . You are advised to check SITIS at www.dodsbir.net/sitis for information relevant to the topic under which you are proposing, and you are encouraged to submit your proposal as early as possible to avoid delays due to high volume.
Proposal Submission
Proposals must be submitted via the DOD SBIR/STTR Submission website at http://www.dodsbir.net/submission following the instructions contained in the solicitation, including the instructions specified in the topic files for the DoD component to which you are applying. Submissions must include Volume 1: Proposal Cover Sheet, Volume 2: Technical Volume, Volume 3: Cost Volume, and Volume 4: Company Commercialization Report to be considered a complete proposal. Small businesses submitting proposals through the Submission website may modify their proposals at any time until the solicitation closing on January 22, 2014 at 6:00 a.m. ET. To use the DoD SBIR/STTR Submission website, your browser must have scripting enabled. If your firm has any Phase II awards, commercialization resulting from all prior Phase II awards must be reported and up to date. Offerors bear the risk of website inaccessibility due to heavy usage in the final hours before the solicitation closing time, so plan ahead and submit early.
Commercialization Reporting
In order to properly evaluate your firm’s commercialization efforts, as well as to reliably measure the performance and impact of the SBIR and STTR Programs, you must review and ensure that your Company Commercialization data is complete, current, and accurate. The Company Commercialization Report must list every prior SBIR and STTR Phase II award received from any federal agency, regardless of whether the Phase II has commercialized to date. Phase III sales and investment figures, as well as manufacturing-related R&D and other commercialization information, must be updated within the last 12 months for all Phase II awards. For more information, see Guidance for Completing the Company Commercialization Report: Instructions and Definitions on the Company Commercialization section of the DoD Submission website.
