Proposal Evaluation Process
•
Evaluations are performed by NASA scientists and
engineers to determine the merit of a proposal
•
A proposal that is recommended for award will be ranked
relative to all other recommended proposals
•
All firms will receive a debriefing automatically via email
•
Evaluation factors:
1. Scientific/Technical Merit and Feasibility
2. Experience, Qualifications and Facilities
3. Effectiveness of the Proposed Work Plan
4. Commercial Potential
Selection Statistics
•
SBIR:
• 2,695 proposals were received from 1,099 firms
located in 48 states and DC
• 939 proposals recommended
• 310 selections were made (12%)
• STTR:
•179 proposals were received from 157 firms

What’s New and Unique?
• NASA manages it’s SBIR and STTR programs via
the NASA SBIR Electronic Handbook (EHB)
 All proposals are submitted electronically
 Contract administration is managed via the SBIR EHB
 Access to the EHB is directly from the NASA SBIR
website http://sbir.nasa.gov
• NASA is the prime customer for SBIR and STTR
developed technologies
 Emphasis is placed on phase 3 contracting
 NASA has issued many multi-million dollar
Phase 3 following contracts;
the largest being for $57M
