DON SBIR/STTR Main Goals • Use small business to develop innovative R&D that addresses a Navy or Marine Corps need – including energy efficiency improvements and cyber security improvements, as the DON mission evolves. • Commercialize (Phase III) that technology into a DON platform or weapons/communication system, or facilities use in expeditionary bases in new “pivot” locales in Africa and Asia.

Acquisition Driven Process, with Strong Technology Pull • SBIR/STTR projects derive from SYSCOM-generated Topics announced in quarterly solicitations. • Over 80% of Navy Topics are selected by PEO/PM/FNC offices and address their specific needs, not just “sponsored by”. • PEOs get back 90% of their SBIR/STTR “tax” , as Topics. They make Phase I and II selections and have Phase III funding. • Many contracts monitored by lab employees with Acquisition Office POC involved. DELIVERING SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION TO THE FLEET

What’s New With SBIR/STTR? • SBIR/STTR Reauthorization statute focuses on increased commercialization: – Do. D services and components must set transition and insertion goals – All Federal agencies may offer increased transition assistance to awardees – Awardees must transition SBIR/STTR projects • Phase II Transition Rate Benchmark – Applies to firms receiving >20 Phase Is over 5 years: 25% benchmark for winning Phase Iis. • Commercialization Rate Benchmark – Applies to firms receiving >15 Phase IIs over 5 years: 25% benchmark for winning Phase IIIs. – Period of calculation excludes most recently completed fiscal year. • Penalty – Awardees failing either benchmark are ineligible for a new Phase I or II award for one year from the time of determination (June 1). SBA notifies Agencies and ineligible firms, Agencies report denied applications. DELIVERING SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION TO THE FLEET 7
What’s New With SBIR/STTR? • Statute also focuses on opening access to SBIR/STTR – Federal agencies are required to develop and execute outreach plans to underserved populations, with emphasis on women and minority entrepreneurs … especially in states with fewer SBIR/STTR awardees – State-oriented FAST program is reestablished • …. while protecting against potential improprieties – Federal agencies are expected to offer guidance to SBIR/STTR awardees on fraud, waste and abuse – and to implement methods of curbing abuse • Statute allows all Phase I awardees to submit Phase II proposals – Agency practices are described in solicitations • Latest amendments to SBA’s SBIR/STTR Policy Directives may be found in Federal Register of January 8, 2014 at pg. 1303 DELIVERING SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION TO THE FLEET 8

The Navy Opportunity Forum is the Navy's Premiere Small Business Technology Event • Forum is culmination of 11 month Transition Assistance Program (TAP) and in its 13 th year • Directly supports Legislation requiring DON to develop programs that help firms transition/ commercialize SBIR funded technology • Supports USD AT&L, SECNAV and DON RDA directives and policy memos • Wins documented praise by Congressional Armed Services and Small Business Committees • Documented record of Success of non -SBIR funding from DON Po. R’s • The most cost effective method for generating “transition” which requires face to face briefings and discussions DELIVERING SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION TO THE FLEET 11

Why SBIR/STTR? • Government’s incentives – – – Test drive small business capability Proactive risk reduction Early/high-risk S&T with SBIR/STTR funding Competing approaches open up additional technology alternatives Non-competitive follow-on awards High level of matching funds • Small Business’ incentives – – Largest source of early stage R&D funds for small firms Company retains data rights for 5 years (Do. D) Builds credibility of company’s research Follow-on awards are non-competitive DELIVERING SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION TO THE FLEET 14
Tips for Succeeding with Navy SBIR/STTR Just getting started? – – – Research topics consistent with your business strategy Current and past solicitations identify Navy technology needs Know Navy structure Submit proposals for problems you can solve Prepare to be innovative Already have a Phase I? – Know your target platform/system for insertion – Build strategic partnerships (Primes, Universities, Acquisition Program Managers-Tech Directors-Requirements Officers) – Plan commercialization path early with TPOC DELIVERING SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION TO THE FLEET 15
