NASA Selects 290 SBIR Phase I Awards
NASA has selected 290 research proposals across 34 states for negotiation of Phase I contract awards for its 1999 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program. The total value of the awards is expected to be more than $20 million.
NASA received more than 2,260 proposals from small, high-technology businesses located throughout the United States in response to the 1999 Phase I solicitation.
The 220 selected firms will be awarded fixed-price contracts worth up to $70,000 to perform a six-month Phase I feasibility study.
Companies which successfully complete the Phase I activities are eligible to compete for Phase II selection the following year. NASA Phase II awards allow for a two-year, fixed-price contract of up to $600,000.
The accompanying table (http://www.ssti.org/Digest/Tables/102299t.htm) presents the distribution of proposals, awards, and firms by state. A listing of companies selected for the program can be found at http://sbir.nasa.gov
