DON SBIR/STTR is an R&D program meeting critical
Naval acquisition program and operational needs – a
warfighter focus. We invest in small business,
advocate for Naval technology customers, manage to
help ensure transition, and track relevant data from
Topic development through project expiration.
The ultimate measure of success of any Navy
SBIR/STTR project is the insertion of the
technology into use by the fleet or forces.

Transition effort beyond initial Phase II
DoN sets aside 20% of SBIR funds for funding
these efforts
Generally falls into 3 categories:
• Enhancements - minimum of 1:1 concurrent matching,
usually limited to $500K
• Continued Development (CD)- requires signed
TTP/TTA, no matching required, limited to $750K
• Advanced Technology (AT)- usually requires signed
TTP/TTA, 1:1 matching required may be concurrent or
out-year, limited to $1.5M or balance of $1.5M if prior
CD or Enhancement

Firm must be prior recipient of a Phase II contract under
the topic ( if only recipient of Phase I then award is a Phase
II not II.5).
Firms must meet Phase II eligibility requirements (size,
ownership, % of work performed etc.) to be considered for
Phase II.5.
In order to participate in Phase II.5, firms must be invited
and selected by a Navy SYSCOM Transition manager. Some
SYSCOMs review all their current portfolio for potential
candidates others allow TPOCs to nominate specific
projects.
The project must address a high priority Navy need.
Project relevance to a planned or existing Acquisition
Program, Future Naval Capability, or documented
Technology Gap which must be identified in the TTP/TTA.
Must comply with any/all matching funds requirements
and SBIR/STTR funding limits for Phase II.5.
