Description

This Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) outlines the requirements for small businesses to submit proposals for NASA's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Programs for Phase I and Phase II projects. The program aims to stimulate technological innovation, foster participation by undercapitalized small businesses, and increase the commercialization of federally funded research and development. NASA will release specific funding opportunities through appendices to this BAA. Key changes for 2026-2027 include increased maximum award values, the use of TABA funds within the total award, and a renaming of the Phase I 'Market Opportunity' section to 'Commercialization and Business Plan.' Offerors must be registered in SAM.gov and the SBIR Company Registry, and adhere to specific eligibility, proposal preparation, and submission guidelines. NASA emphasizes the importance of due diligence regarding foreign affiliations and requires specific disclosures. The selection process involves administrative, technical, and commercial evaluations, with awards being firm-fixed-price contracts.
