The DOD #SBIR 17.2 and the STTR 17.B Broad Agency Announcements (BAA) have been pre-released on the DOD #SBIR/#STTR Small Business Portal. You may now view the topics and ask technical questions through SITIS: https://sbir.
DOD BAA/Solicitation Changes:
Please note the new BAA close time! The closing time to submit proposals has been changed from 6:00 a.m. ET to 8:00 p.m. ET on the closing day in order to better suit the needs of proposers.
The Small Business Administration, through its #SBIR/#STTR Policy Directive, purposely departs from normal Government solicitation formats and requirements and authorizes agencies to simplify the #SBIR/#STTR award process and minimize the regulatory burden on small business. Therefore, consistent with the SBA Policy Directive, the Department of Defense is soliciting #SBIR 17.2 and #STTR 17.B as Broad Agency Announcements.
