Phase III Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) is not a contract vehicle. Phase III is just a normal contract. The contracting officer uses a Phase I or II SBIR or STTR to award a Phase III contract without further competition. Thus, a SBIR Phase III can be a stand alone contract or multiple award, Blanket Purchase Agreement, Basic Ordering Agreement, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ), Government Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC), or any type of contract desired by the agency. A list of Forward Edge-AI's Phase III contract vehicles are available here.

The objective of Phase III, where appropriate, is for the small business to pursue commercialization objectives resulting from the Phase I/II R/R&D activities. The SBIR/STTR programs do not fund Phase III. At some Federal agencies, Phase III may

involve follow on non SBIR/STTR funded R&D or production contracts for products, processes or services intended for use by the U.S. Government.

The Acquisition Forecast contains a list of upcoming contracting and subcontracting opportunities to help make it easier for small businesses to search for opportunities and navigate the Department's complex procurement environment. Below are several forecasting tools to match your Phase I/II SBIR/STTR research for Phase III sole source contracting opportunities:

The goal of each of the tools listed above is to provide a nationwide dashboard of upcoming federal contracting opportunities. All projected procurements are subject to revision or cancellation. Note that forecast data is for planning purposes only and is not a commitment by the Government to purchase the described products and/or services. Address questions regarding a planned procurement to the point of contact listed in the record.
