The NASA SBIR/STTR Program is moving to a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) (See more in FAR 35.016 https://www.acquisition.gov/far/35.016) to procure research and development activities from small businesses.

This Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) sets the requirements for you, the offeror, to submit a proposal to NASA for Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) (including SBIR Ignite) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program Phase I and Phase II projects.

NASA will solicit proposals for specific funding opportunities by releasing appendices to this BAA throughout the effective period of this BAA.

This document contains the objectives, funding information, proposal preparation instructions, and eligibility criteria.

Each released appendix will contain instructions to submit a proposal package and the solicited research and technology subtopics for the specific funding opportunity.

Requirements specific to each opportunity will be included in the appendices.

In any instance where specific requirements in appendices conflict with requirements in the BAA, the specific requirements in the appendices take precedence for that opportunity.

As of the release of this BAA, NASA does not have an exact number of planned appendices, but the program anticipates releasing 2 to 3 appendices each fiscal year.

More information about the release schedule can be found on our website: https://www.nasa.gov/sbir_sttr/

Official solicitation and documents

The full solicitation, any attachments, and the actual submission instructions live on the official listing, not on this page. Oppward summarizes public record data; it does not host or mirror the source documents.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
