Broaden Our Impact on Industry & Community and Supplement our Mission Activities

PURPOSE: Communicate the TACOM-ARDEC technology needs to industry and help focus their future IR&D efforts on DoD/Army/TACOM-ARDEC weapons system needs

KEY CHARACTERISTICS:

One day review attended by key technology areas experts and scientists where the government and contractors review programs/technologies of mutual interests

Creates a process that encourages unique partnership with industries that has substantial interest in science and technologies that could bring maximum benefits to the DoD, Army and TACOM-ARDEC

Provides industries the information and feedback they need to effectively implement their IR&D programs

Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA)

• Authority?– 10 USC 3710a

• Who can enter one?– Federal Laboratory (e.g., ARDEC)

• What is a CRADA?– A contract between federal and non-federal

parties– Not a procurement (FAR not applicable)– Government provides technical personnel, services,

facilities, equipment and other resources, but NO FUNDS– Non-Federal party can provide any and all resources

INCLUDING FUNDS– CRADA defines sharing intellectual property

SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR)

• SBIR provides up to $850,000 per project in early-stage R&D funding to small companies (less than 500 employees) for projects which serve a DoD need and have the potential for commercialization in private sector and/or military markets

– 3 PHASE PROGRAM:

• Phase I: Feasibility Study; 6 months; up to $70K

• Fast Track Option: $50K bridge between Phase I & II and expedited Phase II evaluation; requires contractor cost share

• Phase II: Principal R&D; 2 yrs; up to $730K

• Phase II Plus: Up to $250K Matching funds

• Phase III: Commercialization (private sector or military); non-SBIR funds

• OPPORTUNITY FOR SMALL BUSINESS/LARGE BUSINESS PARTNERSHIPS– SBIR Phase I: at least 2/3 to Small Business – SBIR Phase II: at least 1/2 to Small Business
