DIRECTOR, SMALL BUSINESS AND TECHNOLOGY PARTNERSHIPS (D/SBTP)

OFFICE OF THE UNDERSECRETARY OF DEFENSE FOR RESEARCH, TECHNOLOGY AND

LABORATORIES (OUSD, RT&L)

SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH, SMALL BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER

(SBIR/STTR) PROGRAM SUPPORT

1.0. MISSION OBJECTIVE

The Office of Research, Technology, and Laboratories (RT&L) fosters innovation, unparalleled technical expertise, and technological dominance for the Department of Defense (DoD) through leading-edge science and technology (S&T) research programs; stewardship of laboratories and research institutions; development of a superior S&T workforce; engagement with other government agencies, industry, and academia; and cooperation with international allies and partners.

Our Vision:

Posture the DoD Research and Development (R&D) Enterprise to create far-reaching technology innovations and set them on a trajectory to create U.S. military technical advantage, by:

• Resource cross-cutting and joint research;

• Seed pursuit of new technology areas based on analysis of emerging strategic environment; and

• Establish policies and procedures that facilitate the advancement, protection, and transition of technology.

The Small Business and Technology Partnerships (SBTP) Office supports the RT&L mission by leveraging statutory authorities such as the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR), Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR), and Rapid Innovation Fund (RIF) Programs. To outpace the threat of our adversaries we must develop a culture of innovation and accelerate the advancement of our war fighting capability - and small business is a major driver of innovation and economic growth.

SBTP Office responsibilities include the development of policy, oversight of SBIR and STTR Program performance, stimulating technological innovation, strengthening the role of small business in meeting the DoD’s research and development needs, fostering and encouraging participation by small business in technological innovation, and increasing the commercial application of DoD-supported research and development.

2.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

The purpose of this Statement of Work (SOW) is to identify the SBTP Office requirements for non-personal contractor support services. The SBTP Office requires skilled and experienced contractor personnel to support the strategic planning, analysis, execution, and management of a variety of tasks associated with the SBIR and STTR Programs in accordance with statute and DoD and U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) policies.

Document No. Document Title Small Business Innovation Research, Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) Program Support

Because of the diversity of the tasks required, the contractor supporting this effort must possess a broad range of capabilities and resources. Desired contractor capabilities include highly competent technical and analytical skills, knowledge of the SBIR and STTR Programs, administrative support, an understanding of the congressional and legislative process, program/portfolio management skills, and media/production capabilities.

Contractor personnel must be able to communicate easily and effectively, both verbally and in writing, as well as be able to interact knowledgeably and easily with appropriate Government personnel and other contractors’ personnel at all levels in a dynamic work environment.

The contractor shall provide personnel who have the necessary skills and expertise to accomplish the assigned functions and ensure satisfactory performance is maintained for all tasks. The contractor shall use effective benchmarks measuring actual performance against quantifiable goals to report on their quality of service. The contractor shall maintain configuration and quality control of given assignments at all times. The contractor shall provide orientation and continuous training for all new and existing personnel employed in support of this effort to ensure that services provided are efficient and seamless. Training will cover the latest processes, procedures, policies, applications, and tools employed within the SBTP Office.

In addition, the contractor shall provide analysis and validation services with regard to the various functions and services provided by the SBTP Office. As such, at a minimum, the contractor shall develop, maintain, and execute tailored standard operating procedures for all activities related to collecting, analyzing, evaluating, and reporting SBIR/STTR Program statistical data.

The Government will neither supervise contractor personnel nor control the method by which the contractor performs the required tasks under this SOW. The Government will not direct the hiring, dismissal, or reassignment of contractor personnel. Under no circumstances shall the Government assign tasks to, or prepare work schedules for, individual contractor personnel. It shall be the contractor’s responsibility to manage its employees and to guard against any actions that are of the nature of personal services or give the perception that personal services are being provided. If the contractor believes that any actions constitute, or are perceived to constitute personal services, it shall be the contractor's responsibility to notify the Contracting Officer or the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) immediately in accordance with FAR 52.243-7.

Inherently-Governmental functions are not within the scope of this contract. Decisions relative to programs supported by the contractor shall be the sole responsibility of the Government. The contractor may be required to attend technical meetings for the Government; however, it is not, under any circumstances, authorized to represent the Government or give the appearance that it is doing so.
