Army SBIR Overview
TEXAS SBIR/STTR Summit & Conference
19 January 2012
M. John SmithProgram Manager
M I S S I O N The Army SBIR program is designed to provide small, high-tech
businesses the opportunity to propose innovative research and development solutions in response to critical Army needs.
V I S I O NTo be the Army’s premier source of innovative technology
solutions, providing direct access to America’s high-tech small business research and development community, enabling our
Soldiers deployed around the world.
What is SBIR?
A congressionally mandated program…• Across Federal Government (DoD, DoE, DHS,
DoT, etc…) Title 15 USC, Sec 638
• 2.6% of Army’s FY12 RDT&E budget ($182M)• Increase small business participation in federally
funded R&D• Transition Federal R&D into:
– Government Programs– Industry Initiatives

* LIA and TRADOC are Stakeholders but do
not award any SBIR contracts
• Purpose: To accelerate the transition to a useable technology.
• Provides SBIR funding to Ph2-E and CPP firms during their open Phase II contract (Contract Modification).
• How?– Ph2-E and CPP candidates are identified by the project’s Program Coordinator (PC) or
Contracting Officer Representative (COR), with PMO Support Staff (TAA) assistance – The PC/COR compiles documentation needed for PMO to make a determination.– Generally SBIR Ph2-E/CPP funding will not exceed $1.0M per request and funding is
subject to availability and a deliberate approval process.– Matching funds from transition partners is strongly encouraged
• Activities funded:– Further Research and Development and Technology Maturation– Modifying and testing prototypes developed during Phase II– Other activities that facilitate the transition of the project to Phase III
Phase II Enhancements (Ph2-E) and Commercialization Readiness Program (CRP)
