United States - DoD STTR 24.D Program BAA

Description

This BAA incorporates MANDATORY foreign disclosure requirements and other important programmatic changes as required by the SBIR and STTR Extension Act of 2022 (Pub. L. 117-183). These updates can be found in sections 2.2, 2.5, 3.0, 4.2.e., 4.3, 6.0, 8.2, and Attachment 2. Proposals that do not include the fully completed and signed Attachment 2 of this BAA (labeled Version 2) in Volume 5 of the proposal submission will be deemed noncompliant and will not receive an evaluation. All small business concern/proposal identifying information and a response to every question on the form MUST be provided. Small business concerns are highly encouraged to review the full BAA to remain apprised of any additional recent programmatic changes.

This BAA also incorporates FAR 52.204-29 and FAR 52.204-30, Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act (FASCSA) Orders. Small business concerns are highly encouraged to review the full text of these clauses and required representations found in section 8.2 of this BAA. 

The DoD SBIR FY2024.D Annual BAA is structured to allow participating DoD Components to advertise SBIR topics throughout the course of the fiscal year, outside of the three pre-determined BAA cycles. To be notified of SBIR opportunities released under this BAA and to receive e-mail updates on the DoD SBIR and STTR Programs, it is highly encouraged that proposing small business concerns subscribe to the DoD SBIR/STTR Listserv by visiting https://www.dodsbirsttr.mil/submissions/login and clicking “DSIP Listserv” located under Quick Links.

In addition to the instructions provided in this BAA, each topic release will be accompanied by Component-specific proposal submission instructions, which will detail requirements such as proposal content, formatting, structure, budget/duration and proposal submission deadlines. Only proposals submitted in response to an active topic under this BAA will be evaluated.  

Active topic releases and associated Component-specific instructions can be viewed at: https://www.defensesbirsttr.mil/SBIR-STTR/Opportunities/. A full topic release index can be viewed in Appendix A of this BAA.

This BAA and the Defense SBIR/STTR Innovation Portal (DSIP) sites are designed to reduce the time and cost required to prepare a formal proposal. DSIP is the official portal for DoD SBIR/STTR proposal submission. Proposing small business concern are required to submit proposals via DSIP; proposals submitted by any other means will be disregarded. Proposing small business concern submitting through this site for the first time will be asked to register. Proposing small business concerns are required to register for a Login.gov account and link it to their DSIP account. See section 4.14 for more information regarding registration. 

Classified proposals will not be accepted under the DoD STTR Program.
