About the Army SBIR Program
The Army SBIR Program provides Phase I contract opportunities to small businesses showing commercial viability, feasibility and technical merit. The program offers Phase II and Direct to Phase II contracts to firms with mature technologies that already meet Phase I requirements.
Companies receive access to technical, acquisition and operational Army experts. These specialists give insights on the Army’s critical needs while guiding them from within the Army science and technology ecosystem. Contractors capitalize on this by working with technical points of contact who serve as resources as they mature their solutions for insertion into Army acquisition programs.
The Army SBIR Program releases contract opportunities on an ad-hoc basis to respond to current and expected Soldier needs. The program will continue to promote new contract releases via solicitation announcements and email. We encourage you to follow Army SBIR|STTR on Facebook, X (Formerly Twitter) and LinkedIn for the latest program announcements, updates and contract opportunities.
