Proposal Evaluation Process • Evaluations are performed by NASA scientists and engineers to determine the merit of a proposal • A proposal that is recommended for award will be ranked relative to all other recommended proposals • All firms will receive a debriefing automatically via email • Evaluation factors: • Scientific/Technical Merit and Feasibility • Experience, Qualifications and Facilities • Effectiveness of the Proposed Work Plan • Commercial Potential
Selection Statistics • SBIR: • 2,695 proposals were received from 1,099 firms located in 48 states and DC • 939 proposals recommended • 310 selections were made (12%) • STTR: • 179 proposals were received from 157 firms • located in 37 states • 97 proposals recommended • 45 selections were made (25%) • Approximately 40% of the phase 1 contracts are selected for phase 2
What’s New and Unique? • NASA manages it’s SBIR and STTR programs via the NASA SBIR Electronic Handbook (EHB) • All proposals are submitted electronically • Contract administration is managed via the SBIR EHB • Access to the EHB is directly from the NASA SBIR website http://sbir.nasa.gov • NASA is the prime customer for SBIR and STTR developed technologies • Emphasis is placed on phase 3 contracting • NASA has issued many multi-million dollar Phase 3 following contracts; the largest being for $57M
