[Current] Posting of Navy 25.1 SBIR and 25.A STTR Selections
[more..]
In order to keep small businesses informed about the Navy's proposal selection status, the Navy posts a list of SBIR/STTR
Selectees
as they are chosen.
The list of selections is an ongoing process that may take several weeks to complete. Current selections for Navy 25.1 SBIR and 25.A STTR are now available.
A selectee is a company selected for further consideration, meaning that the proposal is of interest, but the final decision and contract negotiation is not complete.
Being listed as a selectee on this website is NOT a notification of contract award.

[10-23-23] Navy's Policy on Selectable, Not Funded Proposals from other Agencies:
[more..]
It is the policy of the Department of the Navy (DON) SBIR/STTR programs to only accept and evaluate proposals received in accordance with the SBIR/STTR Policy Directive (PD):
- In response to stated Agency topics contained in a Phase I [PD .4(a)] or direct to Phase II [PD .4(b)(1)(ii)] solicitation issued by DON
- In response to DON Phase I contract deliverable requirements for merit-based Phase II evaluation [PD .4(b)(4)]
- In response to a Request for Proposal for a sequential Phase II as a follow-on award to a current DON award [PD .4(b)(5)]
- In response to a Request for Proposal for a subsequent Phase II from a firm that has a Phase I award from another agency. [PD .4(b)(7)]
A Selectable, Not Funded proposal from another Agency is not a proposal in response to a DON solicitation nor is it an award that can be leveraged as a sequential or subsequent Phase II.
